Sims-ulation, an Alba Camara story for The Cold Magazine

Sims-ulation

Alba Cámara is “drawn to the real”; but what is real nowadays? With many of us struggling to fight through the mire that is AI slop, plenty of things once considered fake feel more real than a lot of what surrounds us.  Alba’s work feels very relevant in the modern age and offers a wonderfully tongue in cheek response to the world we find ourselves in. Having worked with brands such as Moschino and Prada Beauty, Alba aims to “challenge the way we look at the world and at ourselves”.

Paul Williams, the British-Nigerian designer, in The Cold Magazine

Paul Williams is the British-Nigerian Designer Between Here and Home

Distance is not only measured in miles. There is a more mercurial distance that forms between memories and reality – between the versions of yourself that you left behind and the ones you hope to become. Paul Williams’ AW26 collection explores this distance, treating it as something worth lingering on rather than to try and overcome.  Entitled Ìrìn Àjò – Between Here and Home, the collection explores Williams’ ideas about immigration, presenting it as a series of small decisions that slowly see you become someone new. There is no cinematic

Emporium SS26: Streetwear is Dead, Long Live Streetwear

There was once a time when streetwear ruled the world. An outfit wasn’t worth putting on if there wasn’t a BAPE or Palace piece involved, and Emily Oberg built a career off interviewing the freaks queuing outside Supreme every week.  For many – including myself – who got much of their early fashion education from The Basement Facebook group, this time will likely bring back fond memories of our early forays into the world of fashion (and the shocking outfits that went along with it). But streetwear is still very

London Fashion Week Through Our Fashion Editor’s Camera Roll

The Cold Magazine sent out its Fashion Editor, Henry Tuppen, to report on-the-ground at London Fashion Week. This is what he saw. 20.02.2026 (3:30pm) The Cold editorial team feeling analytical in their Fings For me, fashion week began in the wrong queue. Thankfully, one of the lovely team at IDEA PR pointed me in the direction of the correct queue… which I then proceeded to miss – getting into a second wrong queue.  Once these logistical problems had been resolved and I made my way down the winding staircase to

Two women sit facing each other on black chairs in front of red curtains. One wears a black dress with a white collar, the other a white textured dress with black details—echoing the chic contrast of Milan Loves Seoul.

Three Brands You Should Know: Milan Loves Seoul

Milan Loves Seoul is a project aimed at uniting the creative output of two great fashion capitals, one steeped in history and the other just bursting onto the scene. It is a celebration of innovation, a globalist dream of what fashion could be.  Created to spotlight emerging Italian and Korean designers, the project aims to shine a light on the great works that can be created thanks to the power of cultural exchange.  With sustainability a central focus, Milan Loves Fashion champions artists who have ethical processes at the core

Blank Street Put Luxury In Your Hands

There was once a time when luxury felt untouchable. Now? It is something you hold on a daily basis. As the claws of the cost of living crisis continue to suffocate young people in this country, we are told constantly to simply avoid indulgence: Netflix, avocado toast or… a coffee.  Whilst billionaires throw their weight around, growing  ever richer, the rest of us are being taught to find luxury within the  basics. And if that morning cup of iced coffee is now your one taste of grandeur, why not treat

DSquared2 Hit The Slopes For AW26

With the icy grip of the cold white north enthralling many in recent months, thanks to the overwhelming success of the Heated Rivalry series, Dean and Dan Caten brought their winter sports inspirations to the fore at their AW26 show in Milan.  Having always been keen on the exaggerated proportions winter clothing offers, DSquared2 allowed them to play a central role this season – warming up (or in this case, cooling down) Milanese audiences for the kick off of the 2026 Winter Olympics next month. Models donned 70s-inspired vintage ski

Bonnetje’s Final Bow as CPHFW’s NEWTALENT Scheme Closes a Memorable Chapter

As Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) marks its 20th anniversary, the CPHFW NEWTALENT programme stands as one of its quiet power sources: a proving ground for emerging designers, and a steady force in ushering Scandinavian fashion onto the global stage. This season, that engine turns a page. Bonnetje, one of the scheme’s most distinctive voices, is set to present its final show under the CPHFW NEWTALENT banner. Bonnetje’s distinction isn’t just that they upcycle, nor is it their singular focus on the suit. It is the way in which they treat

Rolf Ekroth on Fashioning the Nordic Dream

Look at the shopfronts on any British high street, or at the outfits crowding a trendy East London bar, and fingerprints of the north are everywhere. Scandinavian fashion has gone from niche minimalism to mainstream dominance, with Ganni dresses, COS tailoring, and Acne Studios denim now as familiar as IKEA flat-packs. The same cultural exports that made hygge and lagom cultural buzzwords a decade ago have paved the way for Scandi aesthetics to reshape both high-street and luxury fashion. A reshaping encapsulated, and perhaps driven, by the seemingly unstoppable growth

Jil Sander SS26: The Quiet Power of Minimalism

It is often said that true minimalism is not the absence of detail, but the mastery of it. At Simone Bellotti’s debut Jil Sander collection, the restraint was not only in the clothes: it was in the architecture of the entire experience. The show space, stripped to white and punctuated only by sinuous flashes of black, mirrored the purity of the garments themselves. It felt futuristic, cohesive, and all-encompassing, as though the world outside Piazza Castello had been momentarily muted in favour of Bellotti’s vision. What impressed most was how

Yaku: The Impossible Family Reunion in RPG Space, Chapter 6

All London Fashion Week is, for me now, is a reason to see what Yaku will do next. I cut my schedule this season, choosing only a handful of shows. Sometimes life insists you can’t be everywhere. But Yaku isn’t a show you fit into life. Yaku is the disruption, the gravitational pull. Rain, illness, family obligations – none of them would have kept me from The Impossible Family Reunion in RPG Space. And yet, with my expectations already impossibly high, he and his team still managed to exceed them.

Genaro Rivas SS26: A Feast for Crows

The success of any fashion show lies in the details. The clothes may be what we come to see, but staging a great runway presentation is as much about atmosphere and timing as it is about silhouette and cut. It can often be more of a science than an art. When I stepped into the cool hush of the Swiss Church, greeted by the blast of expertly deployed air conditioning that washed away the rancour always associated with a muggy tube journey, I had the quiet sense that this was
