Jourden is a brand that has its integrity in construction and curiosity in its details. They are made well and they are simply beautiful. No piece looks […]

Paris Fashion Week Blues Bouclé jackets and robots and rockets, oh my! Chanel did it again as they managed to draw a crowd of stylish attendees in the recently concluded season of Paris Fashion Week. The entire collection highlighted a myriad of stylish goodness. While the runways shows featured prominent personalities, the best part of […]

Karl Lagerfeld Keeping Chanel’s Future Bright Dresses made of living peacock feathers, that respond to the wearer’s thoughts (cold? fluff those feathers!); smart ensembles that change colors*: we may not be there yet, but we feel pretty certain of one thing: Chanel will be. Or at least, that seemed to be the message behind Karl […]

Christian Dior Autumn-Winter 2017 Vladimir Nabokov once said you can never actually read a book. Paradoxically, you can only reread it. The first pass is taken up almost completely by basic comprehension. The true appreciation comes on the second look. As such, there’s a certain pointlessness to writing about fashion shows. A défilé de mode […]

Thrifty Business Most people are poor when they’re young. Or at least the lucky ones are, anyway. Being poor has a curious benefit not often heralded in our riches-obsessed culture, where we marvel at celebrity suicides and meltdowns as if they were a violation of our religion that more, by definition, must be better. More […]

Paris Fashion Week is one of the four major fashion weeks. The main series of events are held in March. Here are just a few of the major highlights from Paris Fashion Week 2017. 1. All the Collaborations There were a lot of collaborations at Paris Fashion Week. This includes the many designers who collaborated […]

Agnès B. Fall-Winter 2017 With such a the monumental venue, expectations were already high. Les Invalides is most known as the final resting place of Napoleon. Having a fashion show at such a decadent building, a symbol of France, is both forward and audacious. War and Fleece [portfolio_slideshow id=27615 align=center width=600 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false] With […]

Paul & Joe | Paris Fashion Week Fall 2017 Sophie Mechaly understands the individualistic young girl who shops Paul & Joe — she has a range of lifestyles, where not just one type of look will satisfy. From a casual get-together with friends to an elegant dinner out, she wants luxury, comfort and impeccable style. […]

Paris Fashion Week is a big, far-flung thing. Okay, well, let’s put it this way: central Paris is fairly small. But unlike in New York — currently centralized in a few big venues — a Paris fashion show can happen in any number of historical monuments, galleries, museums, nightclubs, or gardens. In that sense, it’s […]

Veronique Branquinho Fall-Winter 2017 (Main image: NowFashion. Full pictures pending) For Fall-Winter 2017, Veronique Branquinho saw to it that a man’s left-hand twill suit from 1943 was at the very center of the season’s collection. She deconstructed — and reconstructed — the bare bones of what makes a suit, to reinvent it in a range […]

Ingie Paris Fall-Winter 2017 The gold moldings were everywhere, and grounded just a touch with a large assortment of candles on mantles. With windows looking down to Place Vendôme, I wouldn’t have minded staying in this room for days. And so began a story of elegant fall evenings and nights in this beautiful city of […]

Manish Arora FW17 The only surprising thing about seeing traditional African style at Paris Fashion Week is that we don’t see it more often. Africa is, after all, the original home of technicolor textiles in genius combinations. Up Close [portfolio_slideshow id=27073 align=center width=600 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false] (Photos: Clara Abi Nader) The trick is to bring […]

Pascal Millet Fall-Winter 2017 The world’s fanciest couture will fall flat if the silhouette is off. If Dior has one legacy in modern fashion, it’s in drawing our attention to silhouette: that ghostly specter that hovers behind, and defines, every outfit. Gallic Glam [portfolio_slideshow id=26931 align=center width=600 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false] The French, of course, are […]

Tuomas Merikoski Intensity. The “reception music” usually tries to set the stage for what you’re about to experience. I always take a close listen to see if what the designer offers in the form of a preview successfully represents the collection to come. At AALTO’s Paris Fashion Week presentation, the music was unusual and romantic, […]

Paris Fashion Week Dates It rained. I was cold. My iPhone even died (as in, permanently), as I stepped off the plane at Charles de Gaulle. And yet, even as we head into Summer, with Paris not due to start until September, we’re already looking forward to Paris Fashion Week. I’ve even reserved my room […]

Puttin’ on the Ritz with Inès de la Fressange x ELLE There’s so much to tell about Inès de la Fressange, it’s actually difficult to know where to begin. In the ’80s, she became the first model to sign an exclusive modeling contract with an haute couture house — possibly the greatest of all couture […]

Lord and Tailor There seems to be a statement hidden somewhere in Andrew Gn’s Pre-Fall 2017 collection. Or maybe the message isn’t so much hidden as explicit. At any rate, it seems to be saying, “In case you weren’t yet aware, I am something of a master.” Of course in our age of politesse, no […]

Having not been familiar with this very young brand, I had no expectations short of fresh, and that’s exactly what they served on the silver platter that was Chanel’s old apartment. A rep whispered that Rüdes designs for himself, is his own fit model at the presentation, and he aims for a price point less […]

Slow Fashion with A1923 Our publisher is a big fan of Simone Cecchetto‘s A1923: an artisanal menswear collection that has had moments in retail outlets such as Barneys, but exists mainly as a cult brand favored by those who love artisanal menswear. So it was that I found myself in A1923’s Paris atelier, previewing the […]

Photo: Elio Nogueira Announcing RNWY and an Exciting New Season w hoa, we’ve been very busy here at FWO. We’re partnering once again with ABC News to live stream a whole bunch of runway shows. All that goodness will begin February 9. (Maybe 8th. We’ll keep you posted.) Live streams begin February 9. We just […]

Minimal Graffiti The crowd was gathered in the rain. I immediately knew I was at the right place for the Yohji Yamamoto défilé: everyone was wearing black. An occasional touch of white, but mostly head-to-toe black. It was a foreshadowing of the journey we were about to embark on, with the ferry arriving just beyond […]

Too Cool for School A large, artfully curated stack of chairs greeted guests in the center of a room. The elegantly dressed models shifted around these posts to show the looks in motion. Occasionally a school bell would ring, and the models would change positions. I later learned I was in a middle school — […]

Childhood’s End J ohn Galliano’s legacy looms large; but if anyone can capture the spirit of the brand, while putting forward a unique vision of his own, that man would be Bill Gaytten.   Disorder in the Dress   [portfolio_slideshow id=20527 align=center width=600 click=advance thumbnailsize=40 showcaps=false] A press release rarely says the right things about […]

Jacquemus Spring ’17 To call it “dramatic staging” would have been an understatement. Before the show had even begun, thick fog filled the air, and the ominous lighting was dark and serious. As the looks began to emerge, there was such a tangible feel of enchantment in the air — they were so soft and […]

East Meets West “East meets West” is not a new concept in itself. But then neither is, say, the idea of writing a play. As in all art, excellence comes in the execution. On the first day of Paris Fashion Week, both designers Liselore Frowijn and Samuel Drira of Nehera channeled East Asian inspiration, putting […]

  TRANOÏ introduces TRANOÏ PARFUM, in partnership with BARNEYS O lfaction — as Marcel Proust surely knew — is one of life’s most mysterious, intimate, and personal explorations, able to achieve depths that can often only be described as “ethereal” … and often touching the spiritual. For those like myself who are fragrance obsessed — […]

Haute Couture + Haute Hotels = Haute Living Paris’ haute couture shows, at root, are an exploration of our ultimate ideas of sophistication. Mastery of form and color, yes, but also playfulness and just a little bit of imagination run amok. In wanting to explore the more extreme side of things — where aesthetics begin […]

From the Supermarket to the Streets: The Canvas Bag   The most noticeable fashion accessory at last Paris Fashion Week wasn’t an adorable little dog, a fabulous purse, or even France’s signature scarf. The item that caught my eye time and time again — bumping about on the arm of nearly every Parisian woman I […]

No doubt, NYFW is a significant fashion event, where the best designers get to show their new ideas and garments, while new fashion trends can be “tried on” (so to speak). However, the monthlong fashion extravaganza known as “fashion month” actually begins in New York and finishes in Paris. It’s a favorite pastime of fashionistas […]

Code Red: The Best Coats at Paris Fashion Week by Claire Stemen Maybe I have a lot in common with your average bull, but my eyes caught a lot of red at Paris Fashion Week. A fantastic choice of color for a coat, not only for its commanding presence, but also for its longevity. I […]

Things We Loved at Paris Fashion Week As the glitterati rest up their traveled feet, and the fashion week dust settles, it’s time to regroup and what really got our hearts a-flutter this season. The best part of the job, (besides seeing who is on the frow and who isn’t) is rounding up and cherry […]

Véronique Branquinho Spring ’16 Show A single chime rings out, startling me, as the first model emerges from behind the curtain at Véronique Branquinho’s Spring ’16 show. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ “Red Right Hand” plays, as Cave’s sinister voice slithers through the speakers. There couldn’t have been a more fitting choice for a […]

LV Defies the Predictable with FW16 Lookbook “What becomes stylistic heritage?” asks the Louis Vuitton brand (by way of Nicolas Ghesquière) in the introduction to “Through The Roof,” the new lookbook for LV’s FW16 Collection. It’s a poignant question indeed, for a 162-year-old maison that must continue to be modern: and continue to be more […]

Sophie Mechaly: Childhood’s End Paul & Joe’s spring prêt-à-porter show seemed sinister at first, red overhead lights pooling over the audience, but it proved to be just as much fun as the looks Sophie Mechaly — the founder and designer of the brand — usually sends down the runway. The brand’s namesake being Sophie’s two […]

Back To Basics (Almost) At The Grand Palais As the fash pack entered the Grand Palais, it was easy to mind read what everyone was thinking before they saw the interior. “What can Karl do next … ” (Photos: Regis Colin Berthelier / NOWFASHION) Well, it seems Karl didn’t do much more than lay down […]

Agnès b. Hits Revolutionary Notes with Swan Today we have cause to celebrate two indispensable constituents of society: women and fashion. (Photos: Guillaume Roujas / NOWFASHION) I’m glad International Women’s Day is during fashion week because both women and fashion have been scoffed at for their frivolity, and have long endured tougher standards than their […]

Day for Night: Masha Ma FW16 H aving worked under the likes of Alexander McQueen and Veronique Branquinho, Chinese designer Masha Ma is hardly a stranger to what’s edgy and new. She is what one could call “forward-thinking” — forever pushing the boundaries of the status quo. (Photos: Regis Colin Berthelier / NOWFASHION)   A […]

Valentin Yudashkin Paris FW16 Valentin Yudashkin is a Russian designer who grew up during the Soviet era and whose high-class work topples the ideas of deprivation and deficiency ingrained during that time. Yudashkin cites folk tales by Pavel Bazhov — which are themed around life in Siberia in the early 20th century — and malachite […]

The Nouveau Luxe: Barbara Bui FW16 (Collage: Hannah Leverson) Barbara Bui has always skewed more luxe than dangerous. When we spoke with her last month, we were reminded that her inspiration draws from music and subculture, but that still didn’t prepare us for this collection: the parade (or maybe explosion) of punky tartan and vinyl, […]

Dance Deconstructed at Jourden FW16 (Photos: Claire Stemen) Jourden’s FW show may have well as been at the Opéra, for it was a dance. The runway, smaller than most, covered in colorful lines and directions piqued my interest the minute I walked in (and not, surprisingly, so did the free drinks thanks to Epicerie Generale.) […]

Lutz Huelle FW16 Welcome to Lutz Huelle’s world, a sartorial wonderland of well-loved pieces and textiles. Much like the beaming designer, Huelle’s FW16 prêt-à-porter collection is inviting and unintimidating. (Images: Gio Staiano / NOWFASHION) This warm essence hardly suffocates experimentation however. Huelle recreates old classics, remixing textiles and form: from denim and sequin thigh highs […]

Hussein Chalayan FW16 The name Hussein Chalayan may ring a bell if you heard about the dissolving dresses during Prêt-à-Porter Spring 2016. The designer put soluble lab coats over bejeweled dresses and then made it rain, literally, on the models.   Spring 2016’s Dissolution(Skip to :30 or so) A few interesting facts on the designer: […]

EACH x OTHER Paris FW16 (Photo: Skylar Williams) Central to EACH x OTHER is providing meeting grounds for fashion and art. In fact, designer Ilan DeLouis and artistic director Jenny Mannerheim cite the poem by Robert Montgomery, “Safe and warm here / in the fire of each other,” as the spark behind their initial collaboration […]

Paris Style Report Over the course of the two months I’ve been in Paris, I’ve seen the monochromatic — containing or using only one color — look everywhere. Whether you’re strolling the Champs-Élysées or going out for the night, Parisians keep their looks simple and chic by choosing a singular color such as gray, paired […]

Wanda Nylon Fall 2016, Paris Fashion Week (Images: Gio Staiano / NOWFASHION) One dives into Wanda Nylon’s FW16 collection feet-first. The stunning vinyl knee-highs draw the eye immediately; a more muted yet still assertive ensemble follows. Besides turning a cliché on its head, Wanda Nylon’s FW prêt-à-porter packs a punch, taking sophisticated pieces from their […]

Nehera Fall 2016, Paris Fashion Week One of the funny things about the concept of “age” is a certain blindness: a “young person” is not really a young person at all. They’re a person who is young now. An “older person” is actually a young person … traveled to a different part of a timeline. […]
