excerpt: Kiko Kostadinov. Spring/Summer 2026 - Paris Fashion Week

 "...Although the Fanning's are not offering social or political commentary with this collection, rather they're redefining symmetrical shapes and fits, specially how shape and form within the fluidity of the feminine, can, and has, redefined fashion and style.  Also noted with this collection, which appears more protective and contoured, is what could be a slight horror esque element to it, be it the cenobites of Clive Barker's "Hellraiser" movies.   Where the human body, by the omnipotent Leviathan, is reshaped and reconfigured (in Hell), with its own skin and biology, to serve, and dispense both pleasure and pain to anyone who wishes it, seen predominantly on outfits 32 and 34.  Anyone seen the Hellraiser 2022 reboot?

Their Spring Summer 2026 collection is not as subtle, or strikingly feminine, as previous collections, holding a more blunt appeal, within its serious prose.  Dare I say, a stylized rigidness?"
