We’re right in the middle of the Fall/Winter 2026 Menswear shows in Milan and Paris, so it’s only right that GQ’s Global Fashion Correspondent Samuel Hine joins us on The Run-Through!

Sam is a fixture on the menswear scene and writes the popular GQ newsletter Show Notes.. He shared all the trends, red carpet looks and shows he’s most excited about just before heading to Milan.

Other highlights on the Milan schedule include Prada, Zegna and Armani. Plus, 2025 LVMH Prize Winner Soshi Otsuki and designer Shinya Kozuka, who showed at Pitti Uomo in Florence.

The Menswear shows coincide with several major awards shows, and there have already been lots of looks that went from the runway to the red carpet this year. With the Oscars and Grammys coming up, we’re sure to see more runway looks on our favorite celebs.

In Paris, all eyes are once again on Jonathan Anderson’s Dior.

Hine told Phelps he expects to see a continued exploration of the “preppy classicism" we saw in Anderson’s Dior Men’s debut in June.

Another milestone of the Fall Menswear shows will be Véronique Nichanian’s final show for Hermès after 37 years as artistic director.

Hine said he is keeping a close eye on which shows the Heated Rivalry guys end up attending – Hudson Williams opening DSquared2 was major!

He also shared a bit about what’s coming next for GQ now that Will Welch, Global Editorial Director at GQ, announced he’s leaving the magazine on February 15th, and hinted at what to expect from this year’s GQ Bowl.
