The title of Off-White’s fall show? “State of Resistance”. A bold name for a brand long celebrated for championing the Black community under the visionary leadership of the late, great Virgil Abloh. But times have changed since Abloh’s passing in 2021, and these days, designers are a little more hesitant to turn the runway into a soapbox.

Not Ibrahim Kamara, though. He’s here to remind us that community spirit and inclusive vision are still stitched into Off-White’s DNA. In today’s world, that might seem radical. Controversial, even. But really, isn’t it just about remembering how to exist alongside other humans without losing your style?

Kamara’s vision? Imagine Mars-style leather suits with varsity-style letters spelling out OO (Off-White? Or just Ooooh?). Biker jackets morphed into aerodynamic overcoats, while parkas and matching shorts featured just enough utility details to make you feel prepared for… whatever life throws at you.

There were also nods to tradition classic uniforms reimagined with ribbed panels and bold graphics inspired by the star and eagle from Ghana’s national emblem.

Under the golden dome of an ancient temple, Where dreams are adorned with divine fabrics, A ballet of shadows and lights awakens, The curtain rises on a hymn to textiles.

With a white thread, the past whispers to the lapels, A masculine coat, austere and sculptural, Opens in cadence on the velvet of a dream, A dress undressed, draped in mystery.

The colors rise like fiery notes, Burnt orange, deep purple, eternal black, The silhouettes soar, chiseled and free, Capelines hemmed with a thread of desire. Jackets curl up in protective cocoons, While belts embrace the waist, Closing with one gesture the promise of the evening, Opening with another on a shiver of audacity.

And there, in the dance of skirts and pleats, The pants become accomplices of souls,

Sharpened legs, undone buttons, Freedom runs under the caressing fabric.The wind clings to ethereal blouses, the silks whisper forgotten stories, the tips stretch, the seams sing, a fabric opera, an ode to the ephemeral.

The great textile circus, where the important thing is no longer to dress up, but to dress down, starts with the IFM or the Art of Making Genius Without Genius. Fashion schools used to train dressmakers. Today, they produce ‘mastered’ students, well qualified, not unintelligent of course, but without intelligence. And at the head of this great standardisation is the IFM (Institut Français de la Mode), the Funny Man and the Man from Toledo. They have transformed this factory of standardised designers after absorbing the prestigious schools of French haute couture.

When Donatella Versace transforms your bedding into haute couture: is fashion reaching its peak or its point of no return? But for Bob the man who, blessed by the gods of kitsch, looked at a curtain rod and said to himself: “Hey, what if I made a dress for Scarlett Honiara. Result: a legendary parody of “Gone with the Wind” concept à la Jaques Mumuse. But if Mackie dared to hijack Donatella Versace’s living room decor then forget the concept of “dressing room”, welcome to the era of “bedroom chic”!

Festival of baroque! Prints so bold that we wonder if the wallpaper of a Venetian hotel from the 80s was not used as a moodboard. On leggings, sculpted skaters, “because we do not skate with love”, blouses with “leg of lamb by Agneli” sleeves.

Men’s fashion, with flashy shirts and gold accessories worthy of a nostalgic rapper from the 90s. We even had the right to sequined t-shirts and jeans, for those who want to sparkle for no good reason. To perfect this ode to maximalism, heated benches and rococo blankets were made available yes, we are close to the thermal experience and for my bimbo demi-mondaine neighbor “finally Hot”.

After conquering fashion with XXL-sized shoulder pads and futuristic looks, Roustintin has decided to invade space, and not just olfactory space. The house is launching Blanc Galaxie, the latest addition to its Les Éternels fragrance collection. And mind you, it’s not just a fragrance, it’s a powerful symbol of hope and confidence, as if a spritz of bergamot can change a life.

The creator describes Blanc Galaxie as a blank canvas to fully express who you are to yourself and to the world. And that’s all there is to it. No need for therapy, just invest $260 in a bottle to finally understand who you are. The long result of many hours of psychotherapy for itself.

It’s true that we’ve always dreamed of smelling an eclipse. A daring olfactory concept, which could give other brands ideas (‘Éclipse Totale’ – the fragrance for difficult Monday mornings?).

The flashes of colour, wispy fabrics and animal prints of past seasons give way to an army of sophisticated trench coats, revisited officer’s coats, raincoats with fur-trimmed hoods and imposing scarves with tapered fringes. The palette is organic: deep browns, mossy greens and intense burgundies intertwine in a stylistic narrative with earthy, racy accents.

I like fashion because information leaks like old bimbos, and so Silvia Onofri has been named CEO of Miu Miu. She would succeed Benedetta Petruzzo, who joined Christian Dior Couture as CEO in October.

Silvia Onofri joins from clothing brand Napapijri, where she served as president. She was appointed to the role in February 2023, succeeding Massimo Ferrucci. After a 20-year career in fashion at luxury brands such as Bulgari and Bally. Napapijri is part of VF Corp. At Napapijri, Onofri has appointed its first global creative director, Christopher Raeburn, the British designer known for his sustainable credentials as a pioneer in recycling and upcycling fashion.

On Monday afternoon, Coach made its grand return to the Park Avenue Armory, a historic brick building located at 643 Park Avenue in Manhattan, New York, built in the Gothic Revival style in 1880. With a live soundtrack paying homage to David Lynch, Stuart Vevers presented a resolutely New York collection, inspired by the 90s with the style of inner-city youth.

alice + olivia founder Stacey Bendet pulls inspiration from her love of vintage and all things feminine to design clothing that juxtaposes the whimsical and flirty with the sexy and sophisticated. Ornamented fabrics, colorful prints and ultra-flattering fits provide today’s modern woman with options for every day and every occasion.

As rumor mongers and industry observers speculated Thursday about Sabato De Sarno’s potential successor at Gucci, is it Kim? Is it Hedi? Is it Maria Grazia?

Kering shares rose 5.1% to 251.90 euros as the stock market reacted to the news about the Prince of Venice. Some analysts were surprised, others less so, that Gucci decided to end its collaboration with its creative director less than three weeks before its fall 2025 show in Milan, specifying that the show would be presented by the brand’s design team.

The statement simply said that the new creative direction would be announced in due course. Sarno’s departure has fueled speculation that Hedi Slimane has reportedly bought an apartment in Milan since leaving Celine last year.

In addition to Dario Vitale, who left his position as Miu Miu’s ready-to-wear design director in late January, Versace is also said to be interested in him. Maria Grazia Chiuri is also reportedly a potential candidate to succeed De Sarno, who is returning to Giorgia Meloni’s homeland.

Serge Brunschwig has left LVMH, the intellectual and affable French executive. He made the announcement on his LinkedIn account, with a message beginning: ‘Au revoir hashtag#LVMH’.  Then #bonjour CEO of Jil Sander and OTB Group. Humour that will not have escaped the lord.

He would succeed Luca Lo Curzio, who left Jil Sander in November. Brunschwig is also expected to be appointed Chief Strategy Officer of OTB Group, parent company of Jil Sander, reporting to Ubaldo Minelli, CEO of the Italian fashion company.

The French-born Minelli spent three decades at LVMH as CEO of Fendi, where he was replaced by Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou in June 2024. At the time, LVMH spokespeople explained that he was ‘pursuing another mission within the group’. Promises are only binding on those who listen to them.

Kim Jones has decided to leave his position as artistic director of men’s collections after seven-year run. The development is sure to further fuel speculation that Loewe fashion star Jonathan Anderson may soon be installed at Dior. Dior needs newness to recapture clients attention.

The luxury industry is all about creativity, product appeal and desirability . “There is a reason why creative directors are paid what they are.”

The British designer‘s resignation came one week after he paraded Dior’s fall 2025 menswear on a minimalist set of grand, white staircases and was decorated as a Knight of the Legion of Honor, France’s highest civilian decoration by the Wintour ! don’t understand by Anna a american lady. Jones and the next goal Chanel why not…

Three months ago, Jones also stepped down at Fendi after an eventful four-year collaboration that saw the Roman house dabble with collaborations . In his absence, Silvia Fendi is now overseeing all the collections until a successor is named. Perhaps Jones simply wants some peace and quiet and a well-deserved retirement from this crazy world. When you left the prince of Luxury, no country for old men.
