Paris CNN  —  It was eerily still in Paris on Sunday, as the streets came to a standstill for “Paris Respire”, a car-free scheme where certain districts in the city are closed to motorized traffic for the day. Yet, the Tuileries Gardens was buzzing with a stylish crowd, many of whom wore the same white scarf tied around their neck, wrist, or bag. Far from it being a coincidence, the scarf was part of the invitation that luxury label Celine had sent to guests invited to see its Spring 2026 collection. Staged at the brand’s Right Bank headquarters, a day…

Editor’s Note: CNN Style is one of the official media partners of Paris Fashion Week. See all coverage here CNN  —  Amid a record-breaking heatwave in the City of Lights — with temperatures so high the Eiffel Tower summit was closed to tourists last week — fashion designers prepare their pièce de résistance for Paris Haute Couture Week, which runs from 7-10 July. The clothes on show at Haute Couture are hand-sewn, hand-embellished and expertly crafted by a fleet of artisanal seamstresses, tailors, pattern cutters and other garment workers in ateliers. What they produce, which often clocks up hundreds of…

Editor’s Note: Delving into the archives of pop culture history, “Remember When?” is a CNN Style series offering a nostalgic look at the celebrity outfits that defined their eras. CNN  —  Long before Harry Styles caused a stir by wearing a Gucci dress on the cover of Vogue in 2022, another music and style icon pushed back against binary fashion norms. In 1993, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain graced the cover of The Face magazine wearing a blue floral dress. With smudged black eyeliner and straggly blond hair covering one eye, Cobain stared casually at the reader alongside the headline, “Nirvana:…

Costume designer says this ‘Sex and the City’ character was ahead of her time… and it’s not Carrie Bradshaw Lawyer Miranda Hobbes, played by Cynthia Nixon, was a fashion outlier in “Sex and the City” but her trademark tailoring and offbeat styling have made a comeback in recent years. Costume designer Molly Rogers decodes some of those original outfits in “Sex and the City” and explains how Miranda’s character arc into “And Just Like That” has played out in her clothing. CNN and HBO share parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.

Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. CNN  —  When Marc Jacobs designed The Tote Bag, it seemed like the world nodded and scurried out to buy one overnight. When he launched his junior sub-brand Heaven, the notoriously elusive Gen Z shopper quickly claimed it as the aspirational label du jour. So it’s perhaps fitting that on Monday, before he had even shown his Spring-Summer 2026 collection, Jacobs had another stroke of innovation — this one…

CNN  —  After nearly four decades as the editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour is stepping down and seeking a replacement. Wintour broke the news to staffers on Thursday. Although she’ll exit the US edition’s top role, she is not leaving Condé Nast or Vogue altogether, but scaling back her duties. She will remain on Vogue’s global editorial director as well as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer, according to Vogue. The new role replacing her atop the storied American fashion magazine will be titled head of editorial content. As Vogue’s editor-in-chief, she reinvented the publication, transforming an increasingly unadventurous…

CNN  —  Editor’s Note: Examining clothes through the ages, Dress Codes is a new series investigating how the rules of fashion have influenced different cultural arenas — and your closet. One of the oldest elements of a bridal ensemble, dating at least as far back as Ancient Greece, veils have largely remained a staple accessory for even the most modern, subversive brides. When singer Lily Allen married actor David Harbour at an Elvis-inspired Las Vegas chapel in 2020, she eschewed an ornate gown in favor of a ‘60s-style Dior double-breasted mini-dress — but still wore a conventional tiered veil in…

Paris CNN  —  Against the backdrop of a scorching heatwave in Europe that has not spared the French capital, the menswear edition of Paris Fashion Week wrapped up on Sunday. The sweltering conditions were perhaps an incidental metaphor for the pressure the industry is feeling as the global luxury industry experiences a troubling slowdown. To this end, the Spring-Summer 2026 collections felt restrained. In a climate of uncertainty, designers proposed modular, adaptable wardrobes attuned to a global consumer, and the attention shifted away from slogans and theatrics toward refined construction and nuance, with block colors, versatile garments and an eye…
