These award-winning CSM students could be the future of fashion

It feels like practically every day we’re reminded that Central Saint Martins is the birthplace of fashion greats. From its bonkers BA show at the start of this month to Rosalía rocking a tutu dress from CSM-alum Yasmina Atta, the school is constantly dominating the conversation. It’s no surprise then that Miss Sixty has teamed up with the university for the inaugural Miss Sixty Future Denim Lab Awards, where selected BA and MA students presented their work to a panel of industry experts, including Katie Grand and Miss Sixty global marketing director Terry Xu. Taking place at CSM this week, the awards “recognise outstanding work using denim as a catalyst for innovation, spanning circular design, regenerative thinking and experimental material processes.”

MA Fashion student Alexander Ziemba was the winner of the Miss Sixty Future Denim Discovery Prize, while BA Fashion Design: Communication student Shane Elias picked up the Miss Sixty Future Denim Design Prize (click here for the full breakdown of shortlisted students). Speaking of the inaugural prize, which is the start of a five-year partnership, Xu said that “together we are building a platform connecting industry and education, supporting emerging talent and advancing new approaches to denim design and material innovation.”

Fendi is celebrating its iconic Baguette with a brand new campaign, and who better to front it than OG Baguette icon Sarah Jessica Parker?

For all the Baguette’s you can get your hands on, click here.

The latest edition of Acne Paper is an extra special one, celebrating 30 years since Acne Studios was founded. Called Autoportrait, the issue’s concept is based around “a self-portrait of the creative world that has grown around the house since its founding in Stockholm in 1996,” and features Lulu Tenney on the cover shot by Carlijn Jacobs and styled by Dazed’s fashion & image director Imruh Asha.

This week Mugler launched its Pre-Fall 2026 collection, with a campaign shot by Rafael Pavarotti and starring top model Saskia de Brauw. “Clothing has the power to transform not only how we are seen, but how we inhabit ourselves  and when a silhouette becomes a state of mind,” said creative director Miguel Castro Freitas of the new collection, the second instalment of The Wardrobe of Identities. “We move through different versions of ourselves every day. I am fascinated by the way clothing accompanies those shifts.” Check out the collection here.
