Last night, Vogue celebrated its 130th anniversary in, well, the most Vogue way possible: a grand runway show and immersive fashion experience. The extravaganza not only gathered the world’s buzziest supermodels, it also united the biggest fashion houses, from Fendi to Coach.
If you missed any of the action (which you can relive here), we’ve tapped Vogue’s Global Head of Fashion Network, Virginia Smith, to share her favorite moments from the unforgettable evening. Get into all the glamorous, star-studded details below.
Evening Meets Street
Seeing the models walk down the cobblestone streets in metallic eveningwear paired with flat boots made Smith ponder if boots are the new going-out shoe. There was a little bit of everything: R13, Dr. Martens, Miu Miu, Prada, and Alexander McQueen.
Serena’s Custom Balenciaga Dress
In less than a week, Balenciaga created this custom metallic gown for Serena.
The Designer Stalls
Willow Lindley, Vogue’s accessories and collaborations director, worked very hard with designers to curate these awesome designer carts. Each brand found an authentic way to express its ethos, from Michael Kors passing out pastrami sandwiches from Katz’s to Banana Republic serving Banana Pudding from Magnolia Bakery to Fendi giving away baguettes (no, not those—actual loaves of bread).
Global Discoveries
While the show took place in New York City, there were several global brands spotlighted. Add Pillings from Japan, Better from Ukraine, and Yeuqi Qi from China to your fashion vocabulary.
Connect the Dots
We wanted our dog walkers to match our dogs. And they gloriously coordinated in Off-White, Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, Batsheva, and Burberry polka-dot looks.
Vogue World Cornerstore
This indoor space was filled with snacks from female entrepreneurs supported by the Tory Burch Foundation. Plus, great sweatshirts and tees from the Vogue collection.
Dancers Galore
The palpable energy of the Ooh La La dancers from Howard University, who make a convincing case for fringe.
The Congratulatory DM from Shalom
When the legendary Shalom Harlow slides into your inbox, you never forget it.
