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. This time, the focus was on for women by women. From the all women production team, to the musical talents, and the diversity of…

Louis Vuitton debuted their men’s Spring Summer 2025 collection in Paris.
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.

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…

Stine Goya is a brand that should be on your radar and may soon be in a store near you
Danish brand Stine Goya is expanding to the U.S. Does that mean anything to you? No? That’s fair. I only just found out about this brand all of 15 minutes ago and am now trapped in admiration. It started with the video of their SS24 fashion show. Really a clip of a pair of shoes.…

Pharell’s first show for Louis Vuitton- Spring/Summer 24
Finally, it has arrived, the first show from Mr. Pharell Williams as the new creative director from Louis Vuitton menswear. The show began with a recorded conversation between Jerrod Carmichael and Henry Taylor about goals. The designs featured camo, in a Minecraft-like pixelated style. Similar blocking was found on jeans. It reminded me of the…

Thinking about size inclusivity on the runway
Vogue Business analyzed size inclusivity on the runway for Fall/Winter 23. There was reduced number of midsize and plus size models during this past Fashion month compared to last year. (Straight size sizes 0-8, midsize 10-14, plus size 16 and up. Most runway shows feature sizes 2 and 4.) I tend to have mixed feelings…
