Last week he debuted his Eternal collection at his new Willo Perron-designed, "starkly sensual" Arts District showroom. Not one for a fashion show, he held private appointments in his meticulously arranged office, where one couldn’t help but notice the Post-it notes perfectly aligned on his desk, near a heavily tabbed "Louis Vuitton" book. The million-dollar question: Is he contemplating a move to Paris? Continue reading

At the drinks party ahead of the show on Friday at Methodist Central Hall Westminster, some of them had a quiet chat with designer Riccardo Tisci backstage. Continue reading
MIU MIU 2022
One of the most defining runway looks of spring 2022 was Miu Miu’s midriff-baring miniskirt and super-crop top in a postage stamp-sized style.
The Aughts throwback became a viral hit, generating its own Instagram account, and becoming as recognizable to the public as the stars who wore it. Adding a touch of neo-preppy chic to girlishness, this fall’s look takes on a school-uniform flavor, with leather-clad misfits thrown in to keep things interesting.
Swedish artists Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg created beach chairs made of canvas for the show. What was on the runway also had a sense of transgression, with scandalously short skirts, shirts and the briefest of HotPants for those who do crunches, not lunches.
ETRO GLOBAL EXPENSION
Since July, Etro, controlled by the giant private equity firm L Catterton, has named Iacopo Martini as its chief financial officer.

They will report to Etro’s chief executive officer Fabrizio Cardinali, who, according to reports, took on the role of spearheading its global brand expansion in November 2021.
Martini graduated from Rome’s Luiss Guido Carli university and began his career at Procter & Gamble in 1995. He was the consumer goods giant’s CFO for its Italian subsidiary until he was promoted. Most recently, he was CFO of the beauty company Kiko Milano.
CHANEL A TWEED FOR A TWEET
Chanel celebrates tweed throughout the event, from the fabric covering the walls, the floor, and the seats, to Virginie Viard’s tweed jacket in the battle of the tweed jackets.
A woman wearing a pink tweed jacket paired her leggings fastened with bows and rhinestone-covered shoes with a soft white dog in the peoples.
Viard’s color palette is influenced by images of the River Tweed in Scotland shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
She used the full gamut of shades, from psychedelic pinks, purples and greens, to earthy tones fit for country walks at Balmoral Castle.
There’s an English spirit running through the collection, from ‘Spencer’ who drew on images of Coco Chanel wearing the duke’s oversize tweed jackets. Continue reading
