&nbsp;The Fashion, Art, and Design issue explores the creative process in all forms&mdash;beginning with our cover star, Kate Hudson. Fresh off her Oscar-nominated performance in&nbsp;Song Sung Blue, the actor and singer reflects on the collaborative medium of film, more than 25 years in Hollywood, and the second season of her Netflix series,&nbsp;Running Point, in which she stars and serves as an executive producer.
Another multi-hyphenate, the musician and artist Jewel, opens up about the deeply personal themes behind the paintings and glass sculptures featured in her second major exhibition,&nbsp;Matriclysm, now on view at the Venice Biennale. Glass, in particular, is explored further in &ldquo;The Glass Paradox,&rdquo; which traces the rise of women artists during the American Studio Glass Movement of the 1960s and &rsquo;70s. As the global art and design calendar unfolds, we invite you to stay tuned to our site for continued summer coverage across the world&rsquo;s most influential cultural stages, ranging from iconic art fairs like Salone del Mobile and the Venice Biennale to emerging explorations of the link between style and culture, as seen in Retori&rsquo;s brand-new flagship&mdash;a celebration of all things craft.&nbsp;
It was also during the mid-20th century that Crist&oacute;bal Balenciaga revolutionized the fashion landscape after relocating his Spanish couture house to Paris. In &ldquo;Conscious, But Free,&rdquo; Pierpaolo Piccioli reflects on inheriting one of fashion&rsquo;s most storied legacies after taking Balenciaga&rsquo;s creative reins in 2025.
We turn our attention to the enduring design heritage of luxury car maker Maserati in &ldquo;Born in Bologna,&rdquo; and continue this dialogue with Danish fine jewelry designer Sophie Bille Brahe. From her archive, she shares a pair of stone lion sculptures&mdash;now on view in her Madison Avenue boutique&mdash;by 19th-century artist Bertel Thorvaldsen, who frequented her noble ancestors&rsquo; home outside Copenhagen.
In the Brianza hills north of Milan, monumental sculptures by contemporary Italian artists provide a striking backdrop for Spring/Summer 2026&rsquo;s more dramatic silhouettes, while sleeker looks take to the dance studio in &ldquo;Top Form.&rdquo; Elsewhere in the issue, we spotlight spring&rsquo;s most coveted accessories, explore collections rooted in artistic expression across disciplines, and take an exclusive look at how Prada&rsquo;s two show-stopping patchwork skirts are crafted, from meticulous pattern-cutting at the maison&rsquo;s atelier to their final, flawless execution.
