'Practical Magic 2' Sequel Faces Criticism: Review Highlights
The sequel, starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, struggles to replicate the charm of the original film while setting up a new franchise direction.
Luca Guadagnino has announced a collaboration with Zara Home, presenting over 200 pieces inspired by his film aesthetics and designed with longtime collaborator Stefano Baisi. The collection includes furniture, textiles, and a ready-to-wear line, debuting on September 26, 2026.

Luca Guadagnino has officially partnered with his longtime colleague, production designer Stefano Baisi, to launch a new collection with Zara Home. This collaboration features over 200 items that span furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles, rugs, mirrors, and scented candles, all set to debut worldwide on September 26, 2026. The news was first reported by Variety on September 8, 2026.
The Zara Home collection, described as an 'atlas of desire,' showcases intricately designed products that reflect a blend of diverse artistic influences. Each piece feels unique, boasting individual names like 'Purkersdorf,' 'Ophiuchi,' and 'Blinking.' This careful curation not only showcases aesthetic appeal but also reflects deeper connections to Guadagnino's cinematic universe. The range possesses an emotional depth reminiscent of the detailed set designs seen in Guadagnino's films.
Guadagnino’s vision derives inspiration from several art movements, including Viennese Secessionism, French Art Deco, Brazilian Modernism, and Italian Radical Design. The mixture results in strikingly curved sofas, enveloping chairs, and sculptural lighting, designed to transform everyday living spaces into theatrical settings. Influencing their designs, Guadagnino and Baisi also drew on the works of iconic filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard, Edward Yang, and Nagisa Ōshima, creating a unique blend of film and decoration.
In addition to home furnishings, the collection includes a gender-fluid ready-to-wear line, revisiting classic men’s tailoring with contemporary twists. Incorporating high-quality materials like tweed and fresco wool, the clothing emphasizes loose proportions and sculpted silhouettes. This extension of the collection indicates Guadagnino’s broad artistic vision that challenges conventional fashion norms by merging the worlds of film and design.
To celebrate this launch, Zara Home will host a special two-day pop-up event during Milan Fashion Week at La Pelota on September 26 and 27, 2026. Visitors will experience a site-specific installation designed by Guadagnino and Baisi and will be welcomed from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days. This event embodies the union of creativity and functionality that has characterized Guadagnino’s previous work.
Guadagnino has built a reputation for crafting immersive environments that resonate with aesthetic richness and emotional depth—qualities now seen in this new venture into home design. His collaboration with Baisi reflects a continuity of their creative vision, effectively marrying cinematic artistry with practical design.
The debut of Luca Guadagnino’s collection at Zara Home is about more than just a new line of products; it represents a significant fusion of cinematic aesthetics with everyday living. This collaboration is likely to attract not only fans of Guadagnino’s films but also individuals seeking to enhance their living environments. With the backdrop of Milan’s design scene, the collection aims to redefine home decor, transforming it into a means of personal expression akin to that of contemporary fashion.
