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.
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.
The fourth episode of My Dinner with Sumayya features a profound encounter between architect Sumayya Vally and author and editor, Fatima Bhutto. Bhutto, a voice of elegance and moral authority, discusses her latest book, Gaza: The Story of a Genocide, co-edited with Sonia Faleiro – as well as her childhood in Damascus, the limits of writing, and how the genocide has broken her world apart.
In our third episode of My Dinner with Sumayya, the architect sits across the table from British artist and writer Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, reknowned for her portraits of fictitious Black figures with their rich, dark palette and almost eerie sense of animation. Sumayya and Lynette discuss colour and its absence, the nature of the figurative, and the decay inherent in the very idea of paint.
In the first episode of a new, original series My Dinner with Sumayya, the acclaimed architect Sumayya Vally sits down for an intimate, searing conversation with sound artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan. The series, inspired by the cult 1981 film My Dinner with Andre, is formed of far-ranging conversations between Sumayya and those whose work shapes our world: architects, musicians, artists and more, all shot on location at Mayfair’s beautiful Park Chinois restaurant. Lawrence is the founder of Earshot, the world's first not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the study of sound – with Sumayya, he discusses Earshot’s work reconstructing Saydnara prison from testimony of what prisoners heard, and more recently, corroborating the call from Hind Rajab from inside a bullet-punctured car.
In the second episode of our original series My Dinner with Sumayya, shot on location at Mayfair’s Park Chinois, the acclaimed architect Sumayya Vally sits down with Pakistani-American singer and songwriter Ali Sethi. This month, Ali released his debut solo album, Love Language, and he and Sumayya discussed the album’s hybrid, exuberant sensibility, the experiential nature of art, resistance to categorisation, and the importance of infinity.
