Vanessa Friedman and our critics review collections from designers' shows.

  1. Fashion review

    From Plagues to Floods to Black Tuesday, Fashion Goes On

    The shows ended with a clash of the centuries at Louis Vuitton, heroics at Alexander McQueen and — hot pants at Chanel?

  2. Fashion Review

    Kanye West Returns to Paris Fashion Week

    With Yeezy Season 8, a choir of car horns, a special guest appearance by North and, oh yeah — clothes. Also Kanye-isms.

  3. Fashion Review

    It’s the End of the World as We Know It

    The apocalypse comes to Paris Fashion Week with floods at Balenciaga, a snowstorm at Thom Browne and darkness at Valentino. But you’ll look fine.

  4. Fashion Review

    Velvet Ropes, Inclusion and Kanye West in Paris

    Who gets to be part of the gang? Who gets pushed out? Celine, Comme des Garçons and Balmain offer different answers.

    Rick Owens, Talking Doom

    Plus a special guest appearance by Joan of Arc at Paco Rabanne and the Hadid women at Off-White.

  6. Fashion Review

    Fear and Face Masks on the Front Row

    Dries Van Noten and Maison Margiela went on, wonderfully. So did Chloé. But this fashion week is getting weird.

  7. Fashion review

    Harvey Weinstein Casts a Shadow on Dior and Saint Laurent

    And raises the question of what feminism means in a fashion context. (Marine Serre was just great.)

  8. Fashion Review

    The Techlash Comes to Milan. So Does the Coronavirus Fear.

    It’s been an unsettling end to the Italian season, but at Marni and Bottega Veneta, antidotes were in the offing.

  9. Fashion Review

    Let Them Wear Cake

    And fringe! Forget the power shoulder. Welcome to the age of the power frill and even the power pannier. At Prada and Moschino, the clichés of femininity are being weaponized.

  10. What Would a Fashion Music Festival Look Like?

    Moncler has orchestrated a happening at Milan Fashion Week. It’s quite a scene.
