IF YOU HAVE ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE EACH CITY AND SHOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
“EXCITING“
NYC did not disappoint us; it was thrilling and exciting to see the new collections kicked off right away at NY Fashion Week. Beginning with Fendi’s 25th Anniversary of the Baguette Bag, it was a thrill to see their collaboration with Sarah Jessica Parker. She designed four different Baguette bags in various colors and sequins with detachable buckles for customers to create and personalize their own look. Supermodel Linda Evangelista, the face of Fendi, created an extremely special solid sterling silver Baguette. And if that wasn’t enough, the collaboration be- tween Kim Jones, Creative Director for Fendi, and Marc Jacobs wowed us with their vision throughout the collection.
A GREAT SIGN WITH BALMAIN BRINGING CHER, DO YOU SEE A TREND THAT IS REACHING FOR THE TRUE FASHION INNOVATORS?
Balmain’s Creative Director Oliver Rousteing made a moment during Paris Fashion Week by bringing Cher onto the Runway. As Cher walked out in a full custom catsuit created just for her by Oliver, we knew this was the Moment of the 2023 shows and what a once-in-a-lifetime experience to be in the room. We also saw this trend with Kim Kardashian’s collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana in Milan. And in those moments, it is evident thatcreative directors are returning to finding a muse.
