Portland – October 21, 2026 -- Hanna Andersson's second collection with Dusen Dusen puts polka dots on pajamas, sweatshirts, socks and jackets for babies, kids and adults. Hanna Rewards members get first access, and the full collection opens to everyone on October 22.

Dots replace the stripes of the debut collection

The first Hanna Andersson x Dusen Dusen collection was built around bold stripes. This round centers on graphic polka dots, alongside Dusen Dusen motifs such as the Everybody Face and Cloud, both known from the brand's best-selling home and apparel designs.

Dusen Dusen founder Ellen Van Dusen says the aim was to keep the sense of play while exploring a different visual language: "this year is all about dots." She was pregnant with her second son while working on the line, which shaped her focus on clothes that feel joyful but that kids can actually live in.

Paris – October 21, 2026 -- Apple's second Designers of Tomorrow exhibition, created with Design Miami, opens today at Hôtel de Maisons in Paris, showing four original works built around the theme of presence.

Curator Rodman Primack, former longtime creative director of Design Miami, says the theme grew out of how busy modern life has become. The featured designers are Salem S. Charabi, Isabel Rower, Yoonjeong Lee, and the studio Parafernalia, run by Genki Matsumura and Sebastián Zorrilla. A jury of global design voices, including Apple's Molly Anderson, picked them for storytelling, material innovation, and craft.
