The fall 2026 edition of men’s fashion week kicked off with an explosive cameo in the form of Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams opening Dsquared2’s winter-sports-themed catwalk. Which was, perhaps, inevitable. The raunchy Canadian streamer, centered on two gay athletes navigating the hyper-masculine world of professional hockey, has turned its leading men (Connor Storrie included) into overnight heartthrobs. And designers Dan and Dean Caten—also Canadian—have never met a beefed-up man they weren’t immediately willing to take in as muse.

Williams’s appearance was reported to have crashed Dsquared2’s website, serving as a reminder that celebrity, spectacle—and the collision of the two—remain central to fashion month’s offering. Nowhere is that more visible than on the front rows, which have already become a traveling circus of very famous men: Liam Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Noah Schnapp, Nick Jonas, Henry Golding, and Colman Domingo were flown in to sit at Ralph Lauren’s show—only the house’s third menswear runway outing this century—while Damson Idris, Louis Partridge, and Nicholas Hoult were dispatched to Prada. All this and we’re not yet a week into the season, with Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, and Dior still to show.
