The British Fashion Council is not alone in seeking to build momentum for fashion outside of London, but there are several hurdles to overcome.

This season, she is introducing footwear for the first time, notably variations of the traditional boat shoe. “I grew up with them; but also, Cookie [Mueller] spent a lot of time in Provincetown, New England. She was working in the harbour and the boats,” Rogge says. “I thought the hints to that were charming.” The small footwear collection is available in the showroom.Backstage at the show, there are also tables filled with accessories, notably jewellery pieces — safety pins, studs and pearls in bold proportion — made in collaboration with Antwerp-based jewellery brand Wouters & Hendrix. However, for now, jewellery…

Matthieu Blazy’s collection was deeply influenced by what he discovered in the Chanel archives — “it was too much beauty, almost,” he said of the experience — and on the Grand Palais runway, the diversity of the clothes reflected what he found there, as well as, of course, his…

At the Celine show last Sunday, guests were taken outside of Paris to Parc de Saint-Cloud; but looking at the clothes, you might think you were in New York.That was thanks to the distinctly American aesthetic that creative director Michael Rider, who is from Washington, DC, doubled down on after playing on sportswear in his July debut. This season, models walked the runway in tailored blazers and skinny jeans, wore colour-block jersey-like tops and some even carried Celine-branded helmets. It was a twist on American prep that stood out in a sprawling French park.

If the 2010s were the era of the hypebeast sneaker, the 2020s brought the fashion sneaker to the fore. In 2023, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Samba in your size at an Adidas store. The brand’s collaboration with Grace Wales Bonner sold out by the drop, with resale values above $700. Onitsuka Tigers and Puma Speedcats were paired with Khaite jeans and The Row coats. Brands from Bode to Jacquemus released sold-out Nike tie-ups. Then came the rise of brown suede sneakers, from Dries Van Noten’s fashion-favourites to Miu Miu’s New Balance collab.This fashion month signalled a shift — not…

And she’s always wanted to build a brand. Before departing from Bravo reality show Summer House after seven seasons (which she announced in June), she started to do so. “I knew I should take advantage of that platform and come out…

It’s the season of the bra.At Attico, hot pink and acid green lace bras peeked out beneath tailored blazers and prim midi skirts. Versace’s encrusted sets became instant talking points, one of them worn on stage by Addison Rae the very next night. Jil Sander cut neat geometric holes in boxy tailoring, exposing the bras underneath. At Prada, bras were deliberately off-kilter: oversized, slouching on the body, as if lifted from someone else’s wardrobe entirely. Vaquera doubled down on its signature trompe l’oeil ‘bras’ printed over patterns, alongside black cone styles. Then there were the variations at Simone Rocha, Dries…

Alix Morabito, global buying director at Galeries LafayettePierpaolo immersed himself in Balenciaga’s archives, and we can see some echoes of this.

We also note the development of numerous accessories.Tim Lim, group fashion director at Meta Media HoldingsThere was a familiar sense of beauty, colour, bold-stroke texture, and pared-down chic that felt as much Pierpaolo as it did Balenciaga, with nods to his predecessors in some of…

This debut was a fast start, kicked off with a wake-up blast of sound, and moved with a fast-paced intensity of purpose and confidence. It’s no surprise that the applause began before the models…
