Everyone has a favorite fashion show. Here at the Vogue offices, it’s not unusual for the conversation to turn to fashion shows that we can’t stop thinking about—either because of the clothes, the staging, a special performance, or more often than not, a confluence of all three. Since we recently shared a list of our most unforgettable shows, we thought we should pose this question to perhaps some of the people best qualified to answer it—fashion designers. The ones who season after season, bring 8-ish minute-long spectacles (or 45 minutes if you’re Thom Browne), that make this job what it is.
We cast a wide net, asking two simple questions: what’s your own favorite runway show, and what’s your favorite show by another designer? Like looking into tea leaves, their answers will surprise and delight you, and in many instances cause you to think, “oh yeah, this makes perfect sense.” And while there are a couple of designers whose repeated appearances on this listare anything but surprising—Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang—only three specific collections were mentioned more than once. Scroll through to read all about your favorite fashion designers’ favorite runway shows.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
It’s hard to pick favorites, but our fall 2020 show right before the pandemic—the show we did with Karole Armitage—is one that I feel very proud of. I remember saying at the time, “if this was the last show I ever did, I’d be okay with it.”
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
One show I’ll never forget is the Chanel fall 2018 show Karl Lagerfeld invited me to. I don’t think it was necessarily his all-time best show or all-time best collection, but he didn’t really invite other designers to his shows and I was very honored to have been invited and attend. Everything he did at Chanel was a favorite.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
Y/PROJECT fall 2019 at Pitti Uomo. We invited over 7,000 people—anybody who is part of the cultural life of Florence was invited to the show; from the fashion industry, to museums, to schools. The show took place in Santa Maria Novella, the largest monastery complex in Tuscany, and was set to begin at sundown. We handed out tiny little flashlights to every person who attended, and invited them to discover the Italian masterpieces, the frescos, hanging over the basilica and monastery as if they were discovering ancient Florence for the first time, Indiana Jones-style. Only flashlights. The show started two hours later, to make sure everybody had time to wander around. Still in complete darkness the guests finally gathered in the main courtyard, where they were all obliged to use their flashlights to light up the models—a community working together to actually see the clothes. It was beyond magical to see thousands of mini flashlights lighting up the catwalk.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
Dior’s Madame Butterfly spring 2007 couture by John Galliano, because it was perfection. The days where fashion was all about beauty and not about product and engagements.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
The most memorable runway show I’ve ever been involved in was my debut with Gucci. It was amazing because it turned out exactly how I pictured it in my head. The best part was working with a completely new team, and their energy and dedication were off the charts. It was the first time I felt such intense emotions in my career, making it an unforgettable experience. That mix of creativity, teamwork, and pure excitement will stay with me forever.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
My all-time favorite show by another designer has to be the Atelier Versace fall 1997 collection. It was the first runway show I ever saw, and I was just 14 years old. It holds a special place in my heart because it was his last couture show before he was tragically killed a week later. My admiration for him was already immense, and that show solidified it forever. The vibrant energy, bold designs, and sheer elegance of that collection left a lasting impact on me. Gianni has always been in my heart, and that moment is etched in my memory as a profound blend of artistry and loss. It inspired my own creative journey, reminding me of the power and emotion fashion can evoke.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
I think the most memorable show was spring 1994 with the Trinity wearing the babydolls. It was such a spontaneous moment when they all stopped on the runway!!!
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
My favorite runway show is from Prada, spring 2008, with the beautiful fairy prints by James Jean and the iconic flower heel and Art Nouveau shoes!!! The collection was so ethereal and dreamy.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
My most recent haute couture show for Jean Paul Gaultier is still so prominent in my memory and I think will always be… it really was a beautiful, inspiring experience.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
Really hard to say, but I wish I was at these two shows in person: The Alexander McQueen Voss show from spring 2001—the show with the glass box that shattered to reveal the writer Michelle Olley reclining nude, wearing a mask attached to a breathing tube. I also wish I saw Comme des Garçons’ fall 2005—the broken bride collection. I have always adored the clothes in that show.

What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
The last show we did for Alaïa because it represented what I think luxury fashion should be.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
It is impossible to say one… there are many:
- Helmut Lang 1994
- Raf Simons spring 1999
- John Galliano fall 1994
- Alaïa spring 2002
All of these are so important for me personally because they touched me and made me dream… I could even say changed me.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
Our spring 2024 show at the Gilder Center at the American Museum of National History was extraordinary; it felt like being transported to another planet. Jeanne Gang’s ethereal interiors were the perfect backdrop for our retro-futuristic curves and modular tailoring.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
I was lucky enough to attend Yves Saint Laurent’s final couture show in 2002 at the Centre Pompidou. It was the ultimate farewell, revisiting all of his signatures and innovations: le smoking, safari jackets, bias gowns, his homages to Matisse and Lalanne, sheer dresses... It is hard to sum up his remarkable impact. He set trends, broke conventions, and reinvented fashion, and himself, countless times. And he always gave women the perfect combination of sensuality and strength.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
The most memorable runway show I’ve ever been involved in was the “Marée Noire” show, held in September 2019. Set outdoors right next to the Auteuil Racecourse, at the very outskirts of Paris, the weather was tense and the elements created a fantastic backdrop that echoed some apocalyptic landscape and climate change. Marée Noire stands for oil spill in English so it couldn’t be better than to have Mother Nature join the stage. This show carried something post-apocalyptic but also hope for change—we received overwhelmingly positive feedback that made “Marée Noire” a landmark in my career, cementing it as a defining moment where fashion and environmental consciousness intersected powerfully.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
My all-time favorite show by another designer is the Alexander McQueen fall 2009,“The Horn of Plenty” show. This show was truly groundbreaking, as it was staged a giant junkyard with props littered from previous runway shows. Models wore pieces of broken cars and discarded debris as headpieces, creating a powerful visual critique of consumerism while turning trash into treasures. This approach of reimagining waste and highlighting the excesses of the fashion industry deeply resonated with me and aligns closely with my own approach to fashion. McQueen’s ability to blend striking visuals, with a strong, thought-provoking and meaningful message continues to inspire my work.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
Considering I’ve only been involved with mine, I would say my last show, fall 2024. I have really enjoyed collaborating with my husband and I feel like he makes me do better.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
I have two that come to mind immediately—John Galliano fall ’94 because of how it was emotional, dark, moody, and intricate but at the same time totally simplistic. Completely new proportions and cuts, while also feeling nostalgic. A little Japanese, a little Italian, and, of course, Vaudeville. Theatrical. It’s just what makes me love shows and feel totally intoxicated with fashion. It makes all of this desperate striving feel worth it when I see a show like that. And that it was done when he was feeling at a low point, which I just learned in his documentary, is all the more jarring and genius.
The other is Alexander McQueen Spring 2001, which was just quite frankly, totally arresting. While the concept was complex and uncomfortable, the show was exquisite. The darkness. The theater. The beauty at the end. The end! The glass shattering. Unbelievable! You couldn’t do a show like that today. It was so profoundly brave. This is how you get to really know a designer. They show you. They don’t tell you. Magic.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
Our spring 2020 collection, “Thank You Very Much for Helping Me,” was one of my most memorable experiences. We were able to shut down an entire block in Manhattan and set up a farmer’s market in the street with the help of Misfits Market. It was all outside and throughout the day people would stop and watch and say hi—it was a really magical experience to get to see first-hand excitement from others outside the fashion industry and be able to include everyone. When the show ended, everyone was able to “shop” the market for free, and everyone did! I wanted an orange but by the time I got there there was only one onion left for me, lol. Afterwards, in true Collina-community fashion, people were posting all the meals they made with the food they got from our market. It really leveled-up the Collina shows, in my opinion.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
This is a really hard choice because I love so many shows for various reasons; but Prada spring 2008 comes to mind first. This collection took place in my formative fashion years, and it has been one of my all-time biggest influences as a designer. I love the fairy nymph floral elements, and it also had this huge wallpaper made by James Jean alongside projections that felt very modern. It really just opened my eyes to new possibilities in fashion.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
I think it was the resort 2018 Louis Vuitton by Nicolas Ghesquière cruise show in Kyoto. I was traveling in Japan at that moment, and the vision of Nicolas in the Miho Museum, with all those strong women, and those amazing looks in that very special place…it was a total vision.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
I remember as a kid being shocked in a wonderful way by a Helmut Lang show in the Espace Commines in Paris. It was the one with Amber Valletta in a short skirt contradicted by a long train in the back worn with a simple t-shirt. The music, the excitement of the crowd, the exact modernity of his proposition represents for me the ideal of a moment that is supposed to be a fashion show. I’m still haunted by it.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
PDC: My favorite Vaquera show was our fall 2016 collection, the first collection Bryn and I worked on together. That year was the end of a kind of a golden era of New York fashion where collaboration and creativity were at the forefront of everyone’s process. Things felt so hopeful and exciting then. We staged the show at the infamous China Chalet, a Chinese restaurant and banquet hall often used as a venue for parties. The models made their way through the restaurant interacting with guests seated at the restaurant booths. We told each model to express their own personality: some were smoking cigarettes, some kissed one another, some ran down the runway while others walked slowly and made eye contact with the audience. This show has a special place in my heart because it felt like the beginning of the Vaquera dialog about joyful subversion.
BT: For me, our fall 2017 show is the most memorable. It was the first time we were ever on Vogue Runway, and it felt like we’d “really made it,” though looking back, we were so naive back then. The naivety is partially what made the show so good; so little of it was actually wearable or sold, but it was pure expression and passion. There were four of us designing back then—Claire and David were there as well, and I think you really get the sense that there were a lot of points-of-view creating the collection, in a way that made it really dynamic. That collection had two of our most iconic pieces, the Tiffany Bag dress and the American flag dress.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
PDC: My favorite show by another designer is the Undercover spring 2004 collection which featured a cast of identical twins. The sets of twins walked out together with one wearing a “normal” look while her twin wore a distorted, melted, drooping version of the first one. Plaid suiting melts, lapels and shoulder seams extend off the body, necklines unravel. This collection feels like a reflection on the effects of dysmorphia. The way we perceive others depends on the way we see ourselves and a distorted mirror can play alarming tricks on the eye! This show was a call for empathy and peace. The finale featured models wearing shirts with messages like “Violence invites violence,” “Silly to kill,” and “Who wants to be a soldier.” A distorted understanding of self can lead to disaster. What could be more disastrous than war?
BT: Not a “real” designer, but I love the naked show at the end of the movie Prêt-à-Porter!
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
It was definitely the show we did for spring 2020. We don’t do a runway show anymore and that kind of still stands as the “last one.” We showed at The Standard High Line in September 2019 and there was a beautiful sunset at the same time. The collection was inspired by the British television show Victoria.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
Issey Miyake with Grace Jones and others in the fashion show “Issey Miyake and Twelve Black Girls.” It was such an empowering show and Grace had such a mesmerizing presence. I still think about it to this day! It was beautiful and seen as incredibly radical at the time and also reminds me of a Richmond Cornejo campaign we did in Tokyo where we featured a 14-year-old Naomi Campbell.

What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
Vivienne Westwood’s spring 2000 Red Label collection. I was an intern, and watching Vivienne and Andreas create a whole world was mesmerizing. My own favorite show would have to be spring summer 2015. It was based on the Victorian botanist Mariane North, we created a jungle-y greenhouse in the middle of a warehouse in London. When the first emerged you could feel the humidity and smell of the hot house we had built, and for a fleeting moment it felt we were all somewhere else.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
I have two favorite collections of all time: the first is Jean-Paul Gaultier’s spring 1995 runway. His twisted Fin de Siècle collection was brilliant, so beautiful, slightly Death in Venice…via Paris and the ’90s. It ended with Madonna in a slip dress pushing an antique pram, genius!! The second is Yohji Yamamoto’s wedding-themed Spring 1999 collection, completely clever and poetic with dresses that transformed on the runway, models undressing themselves and revealing layers. So beautiful and ethereal.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
ZL: We had our fall 2016 show in the dome of PS1. We didn’t know what we were doing, backstage was in the museum, and it was a blizzard so the models had to wear mylar emergency blankets to get into the dome. The runway was in the shape of a spiral with photos being taken once they got to the center. We didn’t think anyone would come because of the weather. Mike and I were outside in the snow for the whole show trying to keep the models warm. Then we did our finale and found out that it was packed to the gills and there was a line around the block.
ME: Outside of our own... something from ThreeASFOUR. I interned for them the summer after my freshman year of college and kept coming back season after season for more. I wouldn’t say those shows were the most memorable for me but the lead-up and build was what I considered capital F-fashion at the time. I felt so lucky to help in any capacity. I say this all because when I was in high school, I used to intern at The Daily and would ditch class and try to go to as many shows as possible. Their show at Deitch Projects with models on rotating platforms holds a special place in my heart. It was so packed, it was so cool, the audience was always the most insanely dressed people I had ever seen. I also distinctly remember they had a gift bag sponsored by Kiehl’s (the first time I heard of the brand) with their perfume in it —I was so obsessed with the smell, I took two (shhhhh...) I recently found a vial of it in Zoe’s medicine cabinet/scent archive in LA.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
ZL: Dries Van Noten’s fall 2008 changed my life and convinced me I wanted to work in fashion. They salvaged an old rotary wax printing technique from the 1930s and made new textiles out of it in technicolor. It was perfect to me at the time.
ME: I don’t have an all-time favorite. There are a handful that have shaped me for better or worse and I hold them dear to my heart, the reasoning is all very intimate. To pick just one is like asking you to choose just one child, assuming you have more than one.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
My most memorable show is the one we did for spring 2021 with (LA)Horde Ballet during the Covid era. Sharing creativity at this time with (LA)Horde was an amazing experience, full of energy and love.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
One of my favorite shows is Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring 2013 couture show “Défilé Rajastan.” Besides the clothes and interpretation of the theme, the energy in the venue was crazy, everyone had so much fun!
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
JM: Reflecting on our past collections often feels akin to perusing old childhood photo albums, each evoking a spectrum of emotions—nostalgia, the weight of challenging times, and of course the cringe of awkward phases. It’s hard for me to look back with an objective eye, but if I try, I suppose fall ’15 stands out. That season, the creative process was particularly liberating. We were inspired by Robert Morris, specifically his cut felt “permutation pieces,” and tried to tap into the effortless energy of those works. Our initial fittings began without any predetermined outcome. Instead, we started with classic shapes and simple styles, altering them with scissors, cutting and slicing to let them hang and fall in unpredictable ways. This approach imbued our process with a liberating sense of freedom and resulted in unexpected outcomes, a feeling we strive to tap into to this day.
LH: All of our shows have been memorable to us for one reason or another, but spring 2022 stands out as a recent highlight for me. It was our first show after the pandemic when the possibility of never being able to have a major show again was all too real. We somehow, through good friends, were able to land Little Island as our show space right after it opened to the public for the first time. The outdoor venue wasn’t only perfect for the mood at the time when it still felt a bit strange to be indoors with a bunch of people, but we were also able to invite a couple hundred New Yorkers to be a part of it for the first time. The show happened at sunset on the water and everyone we work with was back together for the first time in over a year. It felt like a celebration in many ways, like defiance in the face of adversity. The energy was electrifying. That one holds a special place for us.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
JM: Yohji Yamamoto spring 1999. At that time, we didn’t have the instant access to collections in the way that we do now. My first encounter with this collection wasn’t through images or show videos but rather his New York store on Grand Street, after the collection had delivered. I vividly remember spending hours meticulously examining every piece, inside and out, until the store staff eventually had to ask me to leave so they could close up shop. Months later, when I finally saw a video of the show, it further heightened the excitement I felt. His fusion of mid-century couture with his own deconstructed vision completely blew my mind. To this day, I believe this collection stands up with the great collections of our time.
LH: Spring 2001 Helmut Lang. I decided to skip school and go hang outside the show to see if I could get a glimpse of everything going on inside. To me, this was the center of the universe at the time. A very nice PR person saw me loitering and asked me if I wanted to watch the show inside and gave me a standing ticket. This was the first real show I ever saw in person. It also ended up being one of Helmut’s most iconic moments during this phase of his career. In many ways the emotions this show elicited in me all those years ago still serve as some kind of guiding light in the work I do with Jack on Proenza Schouler. I’ll never forget it.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
I was very happy about our 10-year anniversary show in Paris. We had some amazing candelabras made by the artist Sylvie Macmillan, and beds in our signature pink. The show was followed by a party, it was a good celebration.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
Carol Christian Poell’s spring 2004 show, it was something else.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
My ten-year anniversary show at Coach (spring 2024) is my personal fashion highlight as it felt like my professional life had come full circle. I started my career in New York City (at Calvin Klein in 1996). When I came back to the city to design for Coach, I began a creative process of looking and reacting to so many facets of American pop and youth culture. Eventually, after a decade, I referenced how I experienced being young in New York with this collection. It was an autobiographical expression of my relationship to New York and to America, which bookends my adult life—culminating in my three-year-old American son running into my arms during the show’s finale.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
My favorite show by someone else is one that I was fortunate enough to work on when I was designing for Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs was the Artistic Director, and I was (and still am) in awe of his ingenuity and true originality. For spring 2003, he introduced what I consider to be 21st century fashion’s first true collaboration—one that really set the tone for modern design. Marc worked with Takashi Murakami on the rainbow-hued monogram pattern that we used on bags for the show. When Marc sent out the models in matching satin dresses to open the show, with a loud punk soundtrack, each in a different macaroon tone and carrying an ‘Eye Love’-printed Murakami bag, it was one of those before-and-after moments in fashion for me.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
I have intense souvenirs of shows I’ve been working on in previous houses but I have to admit that my first show at Courrèges will always mean something really surrealistic, crazy, and magic for me. Even if we were not allowed to have a proper audience because of Covid, we wanted to have the same feeling as a normal show, so we shot the video in only one take in real time. Most of my friends were there climbing the huge Courrèges white box that landed in this place where I used to party, but had been closed for more than a year. And more than three years after, I still sometimes can’t believe that I lived that moment.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
It’s nearly impossible to choose one only. I’ve been mind-blown, influenced, deeply touched by so many collections from the 1960s to today… But if I really must choose one, it would be Hussein Chalayan spring 1998. This show touched me so much and taught me that a designer can express messages, a point of view by literally designing clothes and imagining a show—it’s like writing through draping. His work shows the importance of every ingredient of a fashion show as something complete, where everything is linked; the set, the music, the clothes. Radical poetry.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
My most memorable show would be my 40th Anniversary Show for the fall 2021 collection. As someone who has been consistently inspired by my hometown of New York City, it took a global pandemic and lockdown to be able to show and film a collection on the streets of my beloved Theater District and Times Square. Rufus Wainwright performed throughout the show and film, serenading a legendary supermodel cast including Naomi Campbell, Ashley Graham, Shalom Harlow, Liya Kebede, Helena Christensen, Paloma Elsesser, Alek Wek, Vittoria Ceretti, Karen Elson, and Carolyn Murphy. It was incredible. The collection was everything I have stood for since the beginning, in 1981—sleek, timeless, and luxurious glamor.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
In 1974 as a fashion-obsessed teenager, I remember being knocked out by Halston’s spring 1975 collection. He showed short hem lines that he called “the skimp,” oversized slouchy bags, flat shoes, and streamlined shapes. It had a sporty American ease that spoke to me then and still speaks to me now. It looks just as relevant today.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
It’s hard to choose a more unforgettable show than my first one for Altuzarra, for fall 2009. Everything about that show came together with the help of friends, family, and the support of those who believed in me. We showcased our collection at the Andrew Kreps Gallery, which he generously lent to us for the day in exchange for some clothes for his staff. My friends hung lights on the ceiling, and Tom Pecheux and Lauren Philippon did the show for free. Agencies helped me with models, and my mom baked cookies for the “backstage.” We had only six pairs of shoes, so my stylists Melanie Huynh and Vanessa Traina and I spent the entire show on our knees, switching shoes from model to model as they walked out. The music came from a boombox on the floor, and there was no seating for the audience. I was so scared that no one would come, but when I walked out after the show, the room was packed—with editors, buyers, and cameras. It was an incredible, pinch-me moment. The overwhelming feeling from that show was one of community, family, and love.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
I’m a huge fan of Nicolas Ghesquière. I find his work stunning and thought-provoking, continually pushing boundaries. My all-time favorite show might be his Balenciaga fall 2001 collection. I remember watching it on TV and being completely blown away, feeling like I’d never seen anything like it before. The show was evocative of the past with its hourglass silhouettes and corset detailing, yet incredibly modern and desirable. It also embodied such an uncompromising vision, a quality I respect even more in retrospect.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved in?
Bode’s fall 2023 runway show, “The Crane Estate,” shown at Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. This was the most memorable, as it was my launch of womenswear, inspired by my mother and her three sisters. At the theater, my French uncle spoke on love, as it was in remembrance of his late wife—my beloved aunt—who had passed a few months prior. My husband and frequent collaborator Aaron Aujla, alongside his partner Ben Bloomstein, recreated a Cape Cod house, garage, and yard complete with peastone inside the theater. The scene was reminiscent of my mother’s childhood and memories of youth.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
Hard to say a show…but Adam Kimmel’s collections, between fall 2008 and fall 2010 were incredibly influential to me as a I started my degree in menswear design at Parsons around that time. My favorite designer will always be Ralph Lauren, but to see a young and emerging brand like Adam Kimmel define an era, and still be equally timeless, will always be inspiring.
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
The Pitti Uomo show in fall 2009 was my first show in Europe… and the first time I really showcased that singular idea you see in all of my work… the uniform and the rigor and repetition it represents… the men lined up… performing simple everyday tasks… in the same uniform… and it still looks so good today… a simple monotony that let each of their personalities shine.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
Christian Dior Fall 2005 Couture, Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld Fall 2005 Couture, and Christian Lacroix Fall 2005 Couture… these were the first shows I ever saw by another designer in person… and it’s the reason I show my collections the way I do today… because these shows were about so much more than the clothing… they left people thinking and questioning and dreaming about what they saw… and brought them into a world created specifically for this moment… pure creativity and craftsmanship… I thought if you do shows, then this is how you do them…
What is the most memorable runway show you’ve ever been involved with?
Probably my first runway show in Paris, for spring 2023. It’s a city that’s always been so special to me. So to be able to show there alongside some of the most impressive names in fashion felt like a real achievement and a real milestone moment for the brand.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
I’d have to say Marc Jacobs’s Richard Prince-inspired show for Louis Vuitton. I love how he’s able to draw inspiration from contemporary artists, which is something I admire and can relate to. Beyond being one of the most intelligent, interesting, and talented people I’ve ever met, he just gets it when it comes to popular culture which is what makes him so relevant.
What is the most memorable runway show you
ve ever been involved in?
My most memorable show was spring 2022, the first after Covid. The whole process was one of the most emotional passages of my life. We dressed and painted everything and everyone and all the audience in stripes and just the joy of what is the real meaning of what we do! Making clothes for people, making clothes to make people happy. This gives me joy.
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?
Alexander McQueen’s dance show with Michael Clark. I felt I was suspended in time and space! Never have expressions merged in such a dramatic and beautiful way. It did get into my blood and it will stay with me forever.
This year’s Forces of Fashion, taking place on October 16, is dedicated to the art, drama, and influence of the runway. Find out more information and purchase tickets on the Forces of Fashion website.
