A new chapter at Chanel
Finally, I might be a Chanel fan. Previously, as I watched Chanel shows, it felt prim and proper. Like the girls with the slicked back, perfectly in place bun. Not me. But with Mathieu Blazy’s first showing for the brand for Spring/Summer 2026 there was an ease. The tailoring was there, but it felt more…

Another Victoria’s Secret fashion show
Years ago, in the midst of crisis, Victoria’s Secret cancelled its annual fashion show. Among other things, people said that the fashion show was catering to the male gaze and put forth unattainable image of female bodies. But now it’s back. I sat there watching livestream, and saw that the lineup in 2025 included an…

Area has the right formula for fun, New York fashion
I don’t know why, but I only just heard of the brand Area. And after watching their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, I want to learn even more. I saw what felt like the epitome of a New York girl: bold, risk-taking style, with a dash of glamour. There were metallic rope dresses and skirts that seemed…

To be front row
As a child, at some point, I discovered Style TV. I would sit there watching their replays of fashion shows. And when that was over I would watch their original programming as women got makeovers and learned how the get the look for less. Younger me believed that I would have a life in fashion.…

The Victoria’s Secret fashion show has returned
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion show has returned. After a hiatus and less then enthusiastic response to their exclusive presentation last year, the brand once again brought their angels to the runway.

On Monday, Louis Vuitton released a video teasing its then upcoming show for its Men’s Spring Summer 2025 line. In it, we see a collection of children, who appear to be a sort of Model UN. It was a call for unity and a reminder that they are the future. It is in the hands…

Who are you designing for?
I am going to admit to you something very quick, which could color your perception just as fast. I have typically been wary of demands that runway shows include more larger sized individuals. In my mind, the runway show was a moving catalogue. I saw the models as just happening to be the form that…

Who is the fashion show for?- On The Row’s no phone request
No pictures. No video. No phones. The guests of super luxury fashion brand, The Row, were strongly encouraged to avoid all of these things during their Autumn Winter 24 fashion show on in Paris. Instead of tech, they were to use the notepads on their chairs to record their thoughts on the collection. In commentary…

To be fair, fashion shows are really just art exhibits
One of the things that really gets on my nerves is when people scoff at fashion shows. Perhaps because of the high price tags, they think of it as just stupid rich people stuff. It becomes the stuff of memes, because it is of course laughably strange. Here is the thing, for many designers, fashion…

All their eyes were on the sky: Critique of the Louis Vuitton Pre Fall 2024 show in Hong Kong
Models were still walking as the lights dimmed and the audience turned their backs. Everyone’s eyes and phones were pointed to the sky. There a formation of drones put on a show. They lit up the sky to make an ocean wave, and then a boat, and then the sun, and finally LV iconography. I…
