Pillion Trailer: Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling Enter an Unexpected Love Story

      A romance unlike anything else on-screen this year, Harry Lighton’s *Pillion* is both moving and shocking, delving into a dom-sub relationship within the gay biker scene. Starring Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård, A24 has released the first trailer ahead of its premiere at the 63rd New York Film Festival and a theatrical release planned for early 2026 in February.

      In his review, Zhuo-Ning Su remarked, “A good scandal film is essential at Cannes. For 2025, British filmmaker Harry Lighton’s feature debut *Pillion* may be the one that leaves the most viewers in shock. Focusing on a dom-sub relationship in the gay biker community, it showcases fetishistic sexual acts that might unsettle some. However, it would be unfortunate if the kinks and shock value overshadow everything else—Lighton has crafted a genuinely provocative anti-romance that’s humorous, sincere, and unexpectedly heartwarming. This exceptional balancing act makes *Pillion* an unlikely crowd-pleaser.”

      Check out the trailer below.

Although the designer is new to the leadership role, he is not unfamiliar with the brand. Klausner spent six years working under Van Noten's guidance, making his transition into the role of creative director quite smooth. He started with praised debuts in both womenswear and menswear and is now presenting another well-received ready-to-wear lineup for the upcoming season. For spring/summer 2026, Klausner upheld the brand’s tradition of crafting luxurious, detail-oriented pieces for fashion enthusiasts, but instead of the darker tones used in fall/winter 2025, he embraced a much more vibrant and bold color scheme. Expect to see hot pink, cerulean, orange, red, and chartreuse—all mixed together in surprising, and almost jarring, combinations. The collection also featured mismatched patterns that were blended in intriguing ways that defied conventional fashion norms. Elaborate jacquard designs were paired with vivid beaded skirts, and psychedelic polka dots complemented jackets embellished with hand-beaded collages. A playful spirit permeated the collection, evoking a lively party atmosphere akin to that in *The Great*. Everything felt extravagant and delightful, a refreshing change after years dominated by minimalism. "My initial vision for this collection... was to express a sense of ease and optimism," Klausner noted in the show notes, which resonated well with the audience. For more insights into the designer's latest womenswear collection for Dries Van Noten, continue scrolling—it's truly memorable. For spring/summer 2026, Klausner continued Dries Van Noten's impressive trends in sneakers, where the brand is leading the low-profile movement, bidding farewell to bulky styles. Accompanying the striking apparel, most models sported sleek sneaker designs that are poised to become the season’s must-haves. Some sneakers were simpler, crafted from red and blue leather, while others closely mirrored their exuberant outfits, including pairs made from turquoise-and-purple printed satin and styles adorned with hand-placed embellishments. We'll have to await the final production versions, but given the brand's history of fun and experimental fashion, they are likely to be charmingly playful. Klausner described the work atmosphere as "playful" while they explored dimensions, colors, and shapes, merging contrasts of hard and soft, stillness and fluidity, casualness and refinement, simplicity and complexity—resulting in a vibrant mix of unfiltered creativity, which he referred to as the Dries Van Noten S/S 26 collection titled Wavelength. The outcome? A multitude of ensembles that clashed in an appealing manner, showcasing colors and patterns together that traditional rules would deem incompatible, creating an uplifting burst of energy. Klausner's combinations at the Palais de Tokyo on Tuesday were refreshingly right. Last season's Dries Van Noten show featured opulence and a classical feel, set in the historic Palais Garnier, an opera house established in 1875 in Paris's 9th arrondissement. This season, Klausner retained that same luxurious essence while infusing modernity throughout the collection. "The regal demeanor of surfers on the board is reflected through a touch of historical grandeur, balanced by the organic everydayness of grey jersey," he mentioned in the press release. Unlike true historical clothing that is often uncomfortable, the pieces presented on the runway were both wearable and extravagant, capturing the essence of vintage designs. "A conversation of contrasts: bold yet effortless, structured yet airy," stated the release. I, for one, never anticipated a significant resurgence of the statement necklace (the thick, collar-like versions that were trendy in the mid-2010s), but I must acknowledge my mistake. If anyone could revive it, it’s Klausner, who incorporated these once out-of-style adornments into many looks on this season's Dries Van Noten runway. From anyone else, it might not have worked, but from him, it became a chic addition that will likely inspire other brands to follow suit. Say goodbye to delicate necklaces; bold and chunky jewelry is making a strong comeback. Some shows at Paris Fashion Week are filled with celebrity attendees, but at Dries Van Noten, the front row featured classic fashion figures from stylish cities around the world. Present were Blanca Miro, Monica de La Villardière, Jeanne Damas, and Courtney Trop, all of whom have consistently maintained loyal followings for years. These style icons emerged before the TikTok era and gathered in Paris to witness Klausner’s presentation for Dries Van Noten—dressed in Dries Van Noten, of course.
