ECCO.Kollektive returns for AW26 with a selected case of collaborators. This season’s capsule collections come from Natacha Ramsay-Levi, Craig Green and Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering).

Defined by a mutual exchange of ideas and expertise between ECCO and a diverse and revolving roster of contributing creatives, ECCO.Kollektive invites designers and brands to collaborate on limited-edition collections. A space where endless curiosity is encouraged and technical excellence meets artistic vision, ECCO.Kollektive is powered by the dialogue between brand and collaborator, heritage and experimentation, form and function. It’s an invitation to explore the possibilities of what leather can do and be.

Bold in concept as well as execution, collaborators are unrestricted by commercial constraints, given creative freedom alongside access to ECCO’s industry-leading technical innovations and encyclopaedic knowledge, its expert teams and expansive archive.

The AW26 ECCO.Kollektive class features Natacha Ramsay-Levi, Craig Green and Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering), each bringing their own perspective to ECCO’s materials, technologies and archive. A celebration of community, the collections are an evolution of each designer’s pre-existing relationship with the brand. Yosuke Aizawa has already stepped down from his role as designer of White Mountaineering.

ECCO.Kollektive by Natacha Ramsay-Levi

Natacha Ramsay-Levi was part of the first intake of ECCO.Kollektive collaborators in 2022, and has since gone on to become the brand’s first creative partner – a role which sees her work closely with ECCO’s in-house design team to produce seasonal.

Now, concurrent to her creative partner role, Ramsay-Levi returns to ECCO.Kollektive with a collection that reworks and reinterprets the project’s original design codes. Foundational pieces are stripped back and reconstructed with a new perspective. Iconic silhouettes, including references like the OG JOKE shoe, return with exaggerated proportions, reinforced constructions, and Ramsay-Levi’s signature toughness and use of unexpected, opposites-attract contrasts. Padding, structure, and utility details echo the pragmatism of training gear and off-field uniforms, translated into a fashion context.

ECCO.Kollektive by Craig Green

Green first collaborated with ECCO in 2025, presenting footwear as part of his SS25 runway show. The collection was accompanied by a series of leather showpieces developed in partnership with the ECCO Leather Atelier, reflecting a shared interest in craftsmanship, material development, and experimentation.

His new ECCO.Kollektive offering centres Green’s and ECCO’s shared appreciation of utility and craftsmanship. Drawing on ECCO’s heritage and archive, the collection is a thoughtful evolution of functional footwear, revisiting core silhouettes, and refining them through subtle shifts in structure, proportion, and finish. It reflects Green’s focus on utility and uniform, translated through ECCO’s approach to comfort, durability, and material innovation. Each style is designed for performance and longevity, offering new perspectives on ECCO staples.

Yosuke Aizawa (White Mountaineering) creates a collection that spotlights technical precision and outdoor-inspired design. Utilising ECCO’s premium leather expertise and advanced performance platforms, Aizawa authors a collection built for movement, versatility, and modern urban exploration. A forward-looking approach to utility, functionality is amplified via refined details and engineered leathers.

The alarm moved earlier, the calendar filled back up, and the car became a second getting-ready room. Between the parking spot and wherever you’re headed, you’ve got about five minutes and one mirror that barely counts, which means whatever lives in the glove box has to earn its place. 

This September, e.l.f. Cosmetics has the line up that does! We’re talking a primer to smooth the way, a base that goes on fast and stays put, a concealer for the early starts, and color for the cheeks and lips that needs no mirror at all.

e.l.f. Liquid Poreless Putty Primer – Universal Sheer

For the days when the glove box becomes the vanity, start with a smooth canvas. Your favourite Poreless Putty Primer, now in liquid form, has a silky lightweight formula that glides over skin, gripping makeup for long-lasting wear while minimising the appearance of pores for a smooth, poreless-looking finish.

Infused with squalane and formulated to minimise the appearance of pores, it sets in 30 seconds flat, which is roughly all the time a morning like this gives you. Apply before the rest of your makeup, or pair it with concealer and blush for a polished, skin-first look in under five minutes. 

Available at Sephora Middle East

Price: AED 55

e.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Foundation

Meet the glove box hero. Soft Glam Foundation hits the dreamy sweet spot between full beat and barely there, delivering long-lasting, medium buildable coverage with a smooth satin finish. The breathable formula feels lightweight on the skin without looking or feeling cakey, making it an easy choice when getting ready needs to happen fast.

And with 36 shades designed to suit a wide range of skin tones, finding your match is easier than ever. Whether you’re after a barely there base or something you can build up, the non-comedogenic formula gives skin soft, satiny coverage without the heaviness.

Infused with 1% Hydrating Hibiscus Complex alongside pomegranate, blueberry, and goji berry extracts, it’s suitable for dry, oily, and combination skin wherever you’re getting ready.

Spanish ceramic tiles will once again have a strong presence at the 43rd edition of CERSAIE, taking place from 21 to 25 September at BolognaFiere in Bologna, Italy. A total of 72 ASCER member companies manufacturing and distributing ceramic wall and floor tiles will participate, alongside two associate members. Regarded as the leading international trade fair for the ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings industry, last year’s edition welcomed nearly 95,000 visitors from 158 countries and more than 600 exhibitors.

Tile of Spain companies will be present across all nine halls dedicated to ceramic wall and floor tiles (14, 16, 25, 26, 29, 30, 32, 36 and 37). Spain will have the second-largest contingent at the event, behind only the host country, Italy, underlining the strength and international reach of the Spanish ceramic tile industry.

Supported by ICEX, ASCER offers a digital catalogue to help visitors locate and contact the Tile of Spain companies exhibiting at CERSAIE. Accessible from any mobile device, the tool enables users to search for exhibitors by hall or alphabetically, browse images and explore the latest products they will be presenting at the trade fair.

Tile of Spain’s participation at CERSAIE will also be widely promoted through the official Instagram account @tileofspain and the hashtags #DiscoverTileofSpainatCersaie and #TileofSpainatCersaie, with content shared before, during and after the event.

CERSAIE will also serve as a showcase for Time of Spain 2027, Tile of Spain’s industry-wide initiative, which will bring together international professionals and specifiers during the first two weeks of February and offer them first-hand insight into the innovation, design and manufacturing capabilities of Spain’s ceramic tile industry.
