Yesterday, Michael Rider presented his much-anticipated debut collection for .

Debuting a collection from a new designer is always a statement. But staging a show during the brief window of rest most fashion editors get between ready-to-wear and couture? That takes guts. Then again, why not make a bold entrance? Celine isn’t a revolving door; its creative directors tend to stay the course. Céline Vipiana herself led the house until 1988, and since then, only six designers have taken the helm. Few major fashion houses can claim such a direct lineage back to their founder. Presented inside the house’s atelier at 16 rue Vivienne, a vast, decorated silk foulard – just like the ones presented as invites – hung above the building’s central courtyard, trying its best to hold off the rain. Notable front rowers included Alanis Morissette, Dev Hynes and Naomi Watts, while Rider chose The Cure’s Pictures of You as his opener.

“We’re starting it off with a day at Henley Regatta,” tells us, taking us through what a Mithridate summer looks like. Think: sun-drenched mornings on the river, lazy afternoons stretched across Hampstead Heath with a book in hand, and nights slipping into Soho with an ice-cold Negroni in tow. Not a bad way to live. That sense of idle glamour, of purposeful lounging, underpins Fletcher’s new pre-Spring collection – a continuation of his evolving vision for the brand. This season, he draws inspiration from the effortless sartorial styles of David Hockney, Mick Jagger, and Jarvis Cocker: icons who twist classic cuts through irreverence and ease.

Sharon Stone is the face of a new capsule collection from Mugler that reimagines 24 archival looks from the era when Thierry Mugler himself led the house. Titled Re/Edit, the collection draws specifically from pieces created between 1985 and 2000, transforming them into a variety of new looks. Stone is no stranger to Mugler, having famously modelled one of the house’s classically kinky looks at a benefit runway show in honour of the designer in LA in 1992.

Something unsettling is happening in Lithuania. Every year, girls and women of every age gather in a large arena to have their hair measured. Known locally as the Konkursas Pasaulio Ilgaplaukės, the world’s longest hair festival has been running annually in Lithuania for decades, drawing participants from far and wide.

Having been intrigued by the festival for many years, photographer Francesca Allen () finally made the pilgrimage to Lithuania to document the festival. The resulting images – which are both a vivid record of a thriving folkloric ritual and a deeply strange, almost horror-tinged, photo series – are collected under the title Plaukai, the Lithuanian word for hair.

The pictures will be displayed at Allotment, Unit 8 in E8 from June 18th to 25th. On our website, we caught up with Francesca Allen in the run-up to the exhibition.

The very first Hermès Birkin bag, designed specifically for Jane Birkin, is set to go up for auction in Paris this July. The one-of-a-kind prototype was created in 1984 after a chance encounter between Birkin and Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight from Paris to London. When Birkin remarked that she could never find a leather bag she truly liked, the two sketched out ideas for the ideal design, allegedly, on an airplane sick bag. That impromptu meeting laid the foundation for what would become one of the most iconic handbags in fashion history.
