It’s Day 1 of our back-to-back Paris Fashion Week coverage and you’re in for a treat.
Nicole Phelps and Vogue’s fashion news director, Mark Holgate, kick things off with their first impressions of the shows, starting with Anthony Vaccarello’s cinematic Saint Laurent collection and Julian Klausner’s emotion-driven debut at Dries Van Noten. Plus, they share on-the-go thoughts straight from the car en route to Dior and Balmain.
Later in the episode, Chioma Nnadi reconnects with her longtime mentor and former boss, Sally Singer (now president of Art + Commerce at WME). They revisit an iconic article Sally wrote 25 years ago on fashion’s then New Guard, featuring designers like Hedi Slimane, Junya Watanabe, and Nicolas Ghesquière; and draw striking parallels to today’s fashion month. The two also discuss which designer debuts they’re most excited about and what this moment signals for the future of fashion.
