Welcome back to Fashion Bulletin, a weekly column where Coveteur's senior fashion editor, Ella O’Keeffe, recaps all the buzzy industry news you from the week.
This week has been a little flat in terms of fashion news, likely because everyone is more concerned with having a Jacquemus–themed vacation right now rather than…literally anything else. And same! I have returned from Europe and I’d much rather be drinking my fourth Piña Colada on a pebbly beach in Greece than analyzing the following, but here we are! We all must sing for our supper somehow, and at the moment, many brands are doing so with a million different sneaker releases. More on that, later.
Speaking of singing for our supper, Ralph Lauren has shared that its revenues reached $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026, increasing 11% from last year. The news comes amid a global luxury slowdown, which bodes well for the all-American legacy brand in the face of its European competitors like conglomerates LVMH and Kering, who are experiencing drops in sales across the board.
“Our growing brand desirability, diversified drivers of growth and muscles of organisational agility and executional excellence are standouts as we continue to deliver on our long-term strategic priorities,” Ralph Lauren CEO Patrice Louvet told Vogue Business on a call with analysts.
With growing press around Ryan Murphy’s “American Love Story” and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s American dream style, the Old Money trend alive and well—soit makes sense that this would be the perfect time for Ralph Lauren to be fiscally successful.
Charli XCX Releases Her Own Custom Converse
Converse
The Brat of the century has made the most indie-sleaze move possible (which makes sense, given her recent nuptials to 1975 drummer George Daniel):a collaboration with Converse Chuck Taylor All Star. In line with the launch, fans will have the opportunity to customize their Chucks with Charli-coded details inspired by her signature style. As the poster girl for the grimy, indie aesthetic, the partnership seems like a natural fit and one that will permeate the zeitgeist. Is it a Converse Girl Fall?

Zendaya Fronts On’s FW25 Campaign
On
Look who else has collaborated on a shoe! Zendaya returns as the face of sportswear brand On’s Fall/Winter 2025 campaign, this time revealing a shoe that she has created with the brand and her long-time collaborator, Law Roach, called the Cloudzone Moon. “This story felt personal —a reminder that we are all multifaceted beings, with so many brilliant pieces that ultimately make up who we are, make us whole,” Zendaya shared. With Emily Lipson on stills, the actor creates an elevated atmosphere, away from the standard stock-image activewear campaigns we’re so used to seeing.
