It’s been an unprecedented year in fashion. Sixteen designers rebooted 15 labels in September, causing one of the biggest shakeups in fashion history; Labubus took over the world; and Kendrick Lamar’s Celine flared jeans stirred up discourse.
For this Tuesday’s episode of The Run-Through, we invited Virginia Smith, global head of Vogue’s Fashion Network, and Laia Garcia-Furtado, senior fashion news editor at Vogue Runway, to break down all the biggest moments from a massive year in fashion.
“Awar closing the Chanel show was my fashion moment of the year because it encapsulated so many great things,” Smith said. “It was really something I have not witnessed very many times in my very long career of attending shows.”
Another beloved collection was Dario Vitale’s debut at Versace; in fact, Vitale was our readers’ third favorite designer of the year, after Blazy at Chanel and Jonathan Anderson at Dior. “Immediately I saw the show and thought, This is how I want to dress,” said Garcia-Furtado. “As soon as the show ended, I went on The RealReal and bought a pair of Versus jeans.”
Tune in for more top moments—plus what our editors are most looking forward to in 2026.
