Today, risk is everywhere, from incipient AGI to climate tipping points to rising authoritarianism to mass antibiotic resistance. In certain fields, such as insurance, mathematics and healthcare, risk is quantifiable – something you can build markets around and base premiums on. Yet other forms of risk are less easy to define. Please welcome the Risk issue.

In the second episode of the series, TANK visits The Design Studio by Azza Fahmy in Cairo. We talked to Azza and her daughters – Fatma (CEO) and Amina (Head of Design) – on the transmission of emotion and knowledge through jewellery collections, enterprise and education.
Azza Fahmy is Egypt’s most famous jewellery brand. Earlier this year, TANK flew to Cairo to find out how the family-owned brand draws on the country’s rich history to create work of great narrative power. In conversations with the founder and her daughters during a visit to the atelier, we find out how their contemporary pieces manage to expand beyond traditional symbolism and into the realm of modern-day poetry.
Cut, structure, silhouette: Anthony Vaccarello pares Saint Laurent back to its essentials. A procession of sharply tailored black suits, broad shoulders, narrowed waists, forms a disciplined vocabulary of power and restraint. Saint Laurent reduced to pure architecture.
Creative Director Duran Lantink assembles a cast of characters, detectives, ravers, bankers and femme fatales, each inhabiting a wardrobe where tailoring, sportswear and subversion collide. Inspired by a vintage Marlene Dietrich T-shirt, the collection plays with Gaultier’s enduring language of inversion: masculine and feminine, vintage and new, underwear and outerwear. Past and present fold together in a spirited exercise in transformation.
For Chanel’s AW26 show, Matthieu Blazy stages a conversation between pragmatism and fantasy, the house codes moving from what Gabrielle Chanel once called the “caterpillar” of day to the “butterfly” of night. The collection reworks the Chanel suit as a mutable canvas, shifting through decades in ribbed knits, tweeds and unexpectedly iridescent silk jersey. As evening falls, silhouettes grow lighter and more luminous, dissolving into nocturnal reverie.
Sarah Burton presented her third collection solidifying her role as the definitive architect of the house’s new era. Staged in a pristine white structure at Les Invalides, the show felt like a poignant response to her own show notes: "How can we put ourselves back together in the world we’re living in?"
Jonathan Anderson hit his stride at Dior, upping the "pretty" quotient of the collection while retaining the quirks and fantasy of his debut. Classic house codes—lace, the New Look jacket, and the Roger Vivier curved heel—all made appearances, striking a nice balance between the Jonathan POV and Dior’s history.
The set was an architectural feat: a glass structure that replaced the usual "black box" to reveal views of the Eiffel Tower and a pond where lily pads and floral props glided across the water. We may have baked inside that clear structure—with the sun hitting the UK press section particularly hard—but the collection was enough to make us forgive the steamy situation.
Miuccia and Raf found a brilliant rhythm for Prada AW26 with a "wardrobe in motion." In a clever twist, only 15 models—headlined by Bella Hadid—walked the runway four times each, shedding layers with every pass. It was a masterclass in the "human" messiness of dressing: adding, peeling back, and starting over.
House codes felt beautifully weathered: shrunken, frayed coats met utilitarian parkas over delicate tulle, all with a purposeful, "lived-in" wrinkle. The accessories were pure POV—specifically those feather-heeled boots and kitten heels dripping in chandelier crystals.
Luke and Lucie Meier leaned into a "softer" power for Jil Sander AW26, trading their usual clinical minimalism for an intimate, chocolate-carpeted set. The collection was all about "enveloping" luxury: cocooning capes and quilted textures that felt like high-fashion upholstery.
The signature sharp tailoring remained, but it was softened by rounded shoulders and tactile, voluminous knits. While the sheer amount of fabric occasionally felt a bit weighted, the jewel-toned silks and silver-toed boots kept the POV grounded. It wasn't a radical shift—more of a thoughtful "settling in" that felt more human than high-concept.
