This spring, we&rsquo;re taking a cue from L&rsquo;OFFICIEL&rsquo;s own history to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. In 1975, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL Paris published a special issue celebrating the approaching U.S. Bicentennial, capturing Americana through a distinctly Parisian lens. For our Spring Fashion Issue, we revisit that iconic moment and return to the same conversation, exploring the enduring&mdash;and evolving&mdash;dialogue between French and American fashion.
That cross-cultural exchange feels livelier than ever on today&rsquo;s runways, as the influence of designers in New York and Paris continues to shape collections on both sides of the Atlantic. Matthieu Blazy&rsquo;s recent Manhattan subway&ndash;set M&eacute;tiers d&rsquo;Art show for Chanel paid tribute to New York&rsquo;s unique sensibility, while in Paris, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez brought an inventive American je ne sais quoi to Loewe&rsquo;s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. Classic American archetypes&mdash;denim, workwear, and prep&mdash;reverberated throughout the season. We trace the evolution of these codes in &ldquo;All-American Remix," and model Grace Burns&mdash;following in the footsteps of her mother, Christy Turlington Burns&mdash;wears our favorite sportswear-inspired looks from the French runways in &ldquo;Uniform Effect."
We spotlight the standout American collections in &ldquo;State of Grace," where actor Grace Gummer&mdash;in everything from Coach to Kallmeyer&mdash;reflects on her nostalgia for &rsquo;90s New York fashion, playing Caroline Kennedy in Ryan Murphy&rsquo;s Love Story, and navigating Hollywood as the daughter of Meryl Streep. That level of visibility is something our cover star and longtime Chanel muse, Pen&eacute;lope Cruz, knows well, after acting on the big screen for decades. She speaks about putting family first and taking a discerning approach to her work, including her latest film, Maggie Gyllenhaal&rsquo;s horror comedy The Bride!, in which she plays a 1930s detective forging her own path in a male-dominated world.
Finally, Delusions writer Cazzie David reflects on a sentimental gift from her father, along with the quintessentially Larry David&ndash;esque career advice he has given her over the years. We also peek inside this season&rsquo;s most coveted bags, worn unfastened and put to work across a range of occupations, and step away for a breezy Parisian bicycle ride in voluminous, textured silhouettes&mdash;the ultimate spring fashion statement.
