You can imagine our excitement and complete bewilderment, subsequent to a slew of deeply unimpressive covers starring Solange Knowles, Lana Del Rey and Leanne de Haan over recent months, when covers of Harper’s Bazaar with Regina King, Anok Yai and Christy Turlington began to rock our world. It appears, however, things are back to square one with the unveiling of Bazaar‘s depressing and lifeless-looking double June/July 2024 cover. Samira Nasr welcomes Emma Corrin as cover star for the occasion, who captured by photographer Sam Rock, is dressed by the mag’s newly-installed style director Carlos Nazario in a Miu Miu vest top and briefs (Miu Miu being, of course, a brand to which Corrin is brand ambassador).

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“This? After Regina and Anok’s successful covers? No, thank you,” crmsn immediately disapproved.

“Honestly, I was rooting so hard for American Harper’s Bazaar. I see we’re back to square one here. Dumbfounded over Samira Nasr expecting people to part with their hard-earned money for such an abysmal cover. Where’s the allure? Where’s the charm?” asked vogue28.

MModa wasn’t buying it either, declaring: “This dud of a cover sums up the editor’s aesthetic.”

Also deeply unimpressed was NYLA22, voicing: “When I see covers like this, it makes me think that editors are making magazines for themselves. Harper’s Bazaar is a mass, mainstream fashion publication and I don’t really know who this is for!”

“Was really hoping that woke fashion mag covers were finally behind us. Guess not,” sighed Handbag Queen.

“Honestly with a different look, it could have been lovely. This dull beige Miu Miu set is not helping,” commented forum member GivenchyAddict.

Amelia Gray is undoubtedly having a moment within the world of modeling. The industry continues to lap up the daughter of Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna like there’s no tomorrow. Amelia’s most recent additions to her ever-growing portfolio include fronting POP Magazine, becoming the face of Balenciaga and walking Chanel’s most recent Cruise 2025 runway spectacular in Marseilles. Inés Lorenzo welcomes the American beauty as Vogue Spain’s cover girl for May 2024, marking Gray’s second Vogue cover appearance as a fully-fledged model. The Carine Roitfeld favorite ventured to Paris for the Spanish fashion bible’s cover shoot, lensed by photographer Brett Lloyd. In the sun-lit cover image, the current face of Givenchy strolls the streets of the French capital clutching a canine companion and wearing a head-to-toe look from Miu Miu’s Spring 2024 collection, as chosen for the occasion by stylist Helena Tejedor.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“What a terrible cover…” immediately called out Lola701.

“Is this for real?” forum member Royal-Galliano questioned.

RMDV soon asked: “Where is the LIFE?”

“All sorts of awful, and I don’t even mind the sight of Amelia Gray. Awful makeup, atrocious hair, horrid choice of Miu Miu and my biggest pet peeve is when the cover subject isn’t engaging with the reader. Not a fan of this, whatsoeverrrrrrr,” voiced an underwhelmed vogue28.

Also not buying it was zoom: “Incredibly strange image select!”

“Meh… not even the dog is cute IMO,” shared kokobombon.

Here at theFashionSpot, there’s a very select few fashion models who will have our hearts forever. Make no mistake Gemma Ward is one of those select few. Therefore, you can imagine our absolute delight to see the Australian model turn up unexpectedly as one of Vogue Poland’s April 2024 cover stars. Photographed by Virginie Khateeb and styled by Lorna McGee, Gemma poses on a floral armchair in an embellished look from Miu Miu’s Spring 2024 collection. On cover two (after the jump), German model Sylke Golding makes an appearance as Polish Vogue‘s second cover star via the lens of Valentin Hannequin and wears a coat from Alaïa’s Spring 2024 collection (also styled by McGee) for the occasion.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Gemma? Now that is a pleasant surprise! Love seeing her on the cover of Vogue again. She looks very lovely, the soft spring coloring and even the styling work for me here!” praised aracic.

“Gemma saves the month. I’m shocked how forgettable April has been with most of the Vogues,” said ivano.

“Always love seeing Gemma!” shared Ribs666.

Signifier raved: “Gemma forever. Yes to anything she is in!”

Also very much an admirer was Valentine27, writing: “GEMMA! Vogue Poland! I’m thrilled to see her. This is a match made in heaven. It’s incredible how Gemma hasn’t changed one bit. Like she looks even better now than she did years ago. She looks wonderful.”

Make no mistake that Miuccia Prada has her muses on speed dial, and regularly calls upon the same select few when it comes to casting Miu Miu’s advertising campaigns. Along with the likes of Emma Corrin, Gigi Hadid can most certainly rank herself a one of Mrs. Prada’s firm faves. The Italian fashion designer first endorsed Hadid as the face of Miu Miu’s Matelassé handbags last year, and it’s repeat performance for 2024. Also back is the legendary photographer that is Steven Meisel, who for the retro-inspired campaign, drew inspiration from the pioneering British interwar photographer Yevonde, who spearheaded the use of color photography in the 1930s. Against a backdrop of pastel ombré backdrops, Gigi totes Miu Miu’s Wander and Arcadie handbags (in addition to showing off her fresh-cut bob) in the stylized campaign images, harking back to a wondrous bygone era.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Love Madame Yevonde. The colors in this are super beautiful, its actually a nice take on Yevonde’s work!” praised Kite the moment the campaign struck.

“The beauty styling is transporting me back to Vogue Italia April 2008 with Natalia Vodianova, and I’m not complaining. The coloring and lighting here are both just soooo beautiful,” admired vogue28.

Lax89 confessed: “Instantly like it. I’m no big fan of Gigi Hadid but she looks good there and the hair works on her. Very retro in a good way.”

Alquimista commented: “The background is quite cheesy but Gigi looks very elegant.”

“I love the art direction but this looks quite old and stuffy for Miu Miu,” critiqued Serend1pity.

FiLReD shared the same sentiments, adding: “Miu Miu should be young and fresh. This is quite the contrary of freshness.”

The European editions of Harper’s Bazaar are killing it. Along with France and Italia, Harper’s Bazaar Spain has been on a winning streak. Covers with Sharon Stone and Jessica Chastain have ultimately impressed us to no end lately, and the magazine continues to show no signs of letting standards slip. Editor Inma Jimenez Mateos invites Sydney Sweeney as April 2024 cover star, who is splashed across a total of three covers for the occasion. Via the lens of photographer David Roemer and with Elizabeth Sulcer reporting for styling duties, the Australian actress and Kerastasé brand ambassador is dressed in a trio of new season looks from major Italian fashion labels Prada, Giorgio Armani and Miu Miu.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The first cover has a touch of Liz Tilberis’ Harper’s Bazaar. The second, the Kate Betts era. The third… wasn’t there another photo or cover somewhere that featured a model in a similar pose/styling/setting recently?” asked iriswills.

Xone replied: “The third cover looks like a copy from Vogue Italia with Anna Ewers. Weird.”

“Also noticed the blatant copy of Vogue Italia November 2023, which wasn’t exactly worthy of being replicated,” vogue28 chimed in. “Nevertheless, I’m into this and find that third cover to be much better than Italian Vogue. The art direction is fantastic on the first cover. Love the fonts and how it doesn’t overpower the cover yet makes a real statement.”

Mikel shared: “Love the first cover. Feels very 90s.”

“The first cover is cute. The other two are unnecessary,” voiced WAVES.

Twenty six days, four fashion capitals, one almighty season – and that’s a wrap on Paris Fashion Week!

At the start of the PFW festivities, the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode looked toward Maria Grazia Chiuri at Christian Dior to kick things into high gear, who zeroed in on the maison’s history, in particular the legacy of Marc Bohan (and the launch of the Miss Dior line in 1967). Also staging their showcase on day one was Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello, who stripped down his Saint Laurent woman to the bare essentials, dressing his femme fatales in sheer pencil skirts, blouses and statement killer heels. Models at Courrèges navigated the Carreau du Temple as a fabric floor rose and feel to the sounds of heavy breathing, working Nicolas Di Felice’s sexy collection of geometric cuts. Later on during day three, Dries Van Noten showed a collection that was both eclectic and wearable while trench coats and sculptural silhouettes reigned supreme at Olivier Rousteing‘s Balmain presentation.

Rick Owens’ Fall 2024 collection was inspired by his upbringing and love of opera – using recycled materials to create shaggy coats, spacesuits and his signature voluminous silhouettes. Chemena Kamali was soon making her highly-anticipated debut as Chloé creative director, strongly influenced by the 70s Karl Lagerfeld era of the brand for a collection boasting natural femininity, sensuality, power, liberation, and declaring the return of boho-chic. While the industry awaits a new Givenchy creative director to be named, the design studio took the reins once again this season. For Rabanne, Julien Dossena outlined an eclectic wardrobe of pony hair outerwear and faux-cheetah shearlings, layered over knitwear, handkerchief skirts and blouses. Over on Place Vendôme, Daniel Roseberry presented his prêt-à-porter collection for Schiaparelli, featuring embellished dresses, ties made of braided hair and all-star model lineup.

Jonathan Anderson, who has a distinctive talent for transforming to ordinary into the extraordinary opened up Friday’s slot, with his latest Loewe collection inspired by the work of American landscape artist Albert York. Guram Gvasalia unveiled a supersized collection of dramatic streetwear at Vetements while Victoria Beckham attempted to re-examine and transform the silhouette at the core of her brand. Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski at Hermès took a cue from the Parisian weather and started a literal rainfall inside, as models walked the slick runway in an array of chocolate, burgundy and sun-kissed sand colors. Anger management meet avant-garde at Comme des Garçons and it was soon time for us to bare witness to Seán McGirr‘s (highly-criticized) debut at Alexander McQueen. The Irish designer invited us inside a vast industrial space on the outskirts of Paris, who had drew upon McQueen’s early collections to bestow upon us body-engulfing knitwear and razor-sharp tailoring.

Demna set the Balenciaga runway inside a room completely surrounded by ginormous screens on all sides. The Georgian designer took dust bags, backpacks, nylon gym bags and reimagined them into tops, skirts and dresses and a finale dress completely constructed entirely out of repurposed lingerie. Mid-afternoon on day seven, Pierpaolo Piccioli decided to reduce his palette exclusively to black while Casey Cadwallader presented a Mugler collection full of drama, energy and unapologetic sexiness from models like Natasha Poly, Irina Shayk and Eva Herzigova.

Kicking off the final day of Paris Fashion Week, as per usual, was Chanel. Rich with Parisian chic influences and full of the fabled French fashion house’s signature codes like tweed and the iconic flap handbag, Virginie Viard‘s collection was a love letter to the seaside resort of Deauville. Miuccia Prada’s cast of women including Kristin Scott Thomas and Ángela Molina at Miu Miu sported Miuccia’s wardrobe staples for the modern-day girl about town. Closing out the PFW festivities in sensational style was Nicolas Ghesquière, with his dazzlingly futuristic 10th anniversary showcase for Louis Vuitton at the Cour Carrée du Louvre.

Needless to say, the Fall 2024 season of Paris Fashion Week lived up to the hype. Scroll further for all the hits and misses of PFW, all in accordance with theFashionSpot’s loyal army of unfiltered fashion critics:

HIT | Valentino

“It’s an exquisite, elegant and luxurious collection. I think that’s what Maison Valentino has always been about so for me this presentation was definitely an achievement. There’s nothing new but we can see an interesting play with shapes, lengths and fabrics. all the lace looked sumptuous! Also, I absolutely love all-black outfits and looks so this was personally, a treat.” [WAVES]

“J’adore! Beeeeaaautiful garments, great casting and everything looked expensive!” [Ihhbl]

“Those black patent 80’s pump! Heavenly! I didn’t expect much from him but it was such a nice surprise. A very beautiful collection! It was insanely glamorous, diverse and grown up. That’s what I’m looking for!
I really love the wardrobe approach and there are some exquisite pieces. Bravo PPP!” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Valentino Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Alexander McQueen

“What a very bland, generic collection. Nothing stands out, it’s all so painfully forgettable. Even at their worst, Sarah and Lee had exquisite tailoring to back them up. This doesn’t look exquisite. And of course, not much McQueen to be seen here. Any attempts at interpreting McQueen silhouettes fail to impress me. I really wanted to like this, but McGirr’s first attempt was a massive non-event. The show isn’t over yet and I can’t for the life of me remember a single good look I’ve seen in the past ten minutes.” [aracic]

“I was not prepared for how psychotic this made me feel. I’m gonna be sick.” [sussieinmcswanny]

“Diluted Alexander McQueen for Gen Z’s. I feel nothing. God help us all.” [FelipeV]

See all the looks from the Alexander McQueen Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Chloé

“Looooove it! It has the Chloé energy from the early 2000! Very well made, the three last dresses are sooo beautiful. Easy, uncomplicated, unpretentious, cool, and the colors are nice – we needed that! Bravo Chemena! Chloé is BACK!” [Creative]

“Amazing debut ! Chloé is back. Last time it was interesting was when Natasha took the helm. Minus the bags, I enjoyed everything! Well Done!” [GivenchyAddict]

“So gentle and romantic. After Hearst’s overly serious tenure, I’m so grateful for the return of flou and soft colors. Very strong debut and a potential redemption arc for Chloé!” [LadyJunon]

See all the looks from the Chloé Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Hermès

“A beautiful well-built collection. These are all coherent looks a woman can just wear off the runway. Hermès value is its plug-and-play sophistication. The Hermès customer wants to put no work into looking like they shop in Paris and only buy the best.” [Nimsay]

“It’s all just so consistently flawless, sleek, streamlined, immaculate, wearable, expensive-looking and extremely well made that I can never bring myself to dislike a Hermès collection – and this season is certainly no different. Gorgeous color palette, fabrics and textures.” [vogue28]

“It’s all about conservative quality with this house for me. The fabrics look truly exquisite and the construction is immaculate.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Hermès Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Balenciaga

“The oversized trend sort of annoys me more than Y2K. Those big shoulders really need to go. When the show started I thought it was solid but then it got progressively worse… what a nightmare! If Demna has to stay, then he has to do formal/evening wear only.” [thiago]

“I can’t with this brand. It’s beyond old-fashioned and passé. The worst. I have the biggest prejudices against it.” [Creative]

“Please, stop it with the clown shoes!” [Machinegumm]

See all the looks from the Balenciaga Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Mugler

“More clothes for tramps and streetwalkers.” [gallianostan]

“Every collection by Casey Cadwallader has “Yas queen skinny legend Versace boots the house down slay queen hungry mama and oop daddy work Charli xcx snatch my wig” written all over it. It’s as if TikTok designed it.” [avonlea002]

“If ‘Lowest Common Denominator’ was a brand.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Mugler Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Comme des Garçons

“Very nice. So her, yet finally feels slightly different. Sexier than usual.” [dontbeadrag]

“Strangely romantic.” [Machinegumm]

I always end up buying at least 3 dresses. This season i want and need all of them.” [90sFan]

See all the looks from the Comme des Garçons Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Schiaparelli

“Daniel Roseberry made the collection feel luxurious and effortless at the same time. I like it.” [couturefan]

“It’s quite a great collection! I’m actually surprised by how much I love this! He has finally injected some lightness and his clothes finally allows movement!” [Lola701]

“I’m impressed! So chic and effortless. I feel like his prêt-à-porter feels much more aligned to this idea of Parisian elegance. Also love how the hats bring a sense of lightness and fun.” [thiago]

See all the looks from the Schiaparelli Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Ann Demeulemeester

“Feels more like fan art of an Ann Demeulemeester collection than an actual Ann Demeulemeester collection.” [Machinegumm]

“Ludovic’s debut collection was much better. This feels directionless and tired, show wasn’t necessary.” [avonlea002]

“Oh boy. A no from me. It’s giving nothing.” [90sFan]

See all the looks from the Ann Demeulemeester Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Isabel Marant

“I swear I’ve been watching the same show for the past 5+ years. If I was a woman I’d be buying new Chloé…” [plentyofhorns]

“She clearly needs a reinvention, the clothes is not exciting, the brand image is getting stale. Maybe a different stylist/ art director to help to spice thing up.” [THD96]

“If you feel like buying the same clothes over and over and over and over again, Isabel Marant is a great place to start!” [jeanclaude]

See all the looks from the Isabel Marant Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Christian Dior

“How far Dior has fallen. Totally forgettable collection, not a single memorable look and a mediocre cast. It all blends into one big blur.” [signifier]

“Maria Grazia Chiuri REFUSES to have good taste.” [Salvatore]

“This collection is such a nasty surprise after the really nice Pre-Fall one! Of course the pieces are well-made, but everything feels empty and cold, despite the warm palette. Some of the silhouettes are just too simple or too literal. And don’t get me started on the MISS DIOR lettering, which, of course, had to be repeated on too many looks…” [perhydrol]

See all the looks from the Christian Dior Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Givenchy

“This brand is in such a bad state right now it’s actually sad to witness.” [gallianostan]

“Above all, this just lacks taste.” [Kennnnn]

“I wanna rip those bow tie knot things off! Drab collection.” [TerraVera]

HIT | Loewe

“Fashion, glorious fashion!” [Ruito]

“A pretty damn good show from Jonathan Anderson, less gimmicks and flaws than the last 5 collections.” [yslforever]

“The color palette and the prints are delicious! The tailoring impeccable and it all brings joy to winter!” [Ihhbl]

See all the looks from the Loewe Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

“Truly stunning. Seriously can’t stop looking at this collection. This is how you do real punk, kids, unlike any Hedi Slimane or Marc Jacobs take on it. I feel it like a contemporary, more sculptural Vivienne Westwood.” [philophile]

“Yohji is still THE master cutter. And the plaid looks are just so beautiful!” [notfatgoddess]

“And that is how you leave the rest of Paris in the dust!” [gallianostan]

See all the looks from the Yohji Yamamoto Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Vetements

“You can really sense the desperation in this one.” [youthinasia]

“This is just atrocious and a complete eyesore, who is even buying this sh!t anymore? Swimming in fabric and having no neck is not a look.” [disco54]

“So tired, so passe. Everything looks so dated at this point.” [tourbillions]

See all the looks from the Vetements Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Saint Laurent

“This is so beautiful I want to SCREAM!” [prylvi]

“The show is stunning! Great presentation and the venue is truly impressive (my architect friends and I are blown away).” [thiago]

“SUBLIME. I want to be a Saint Laurent woman NOW!” [matheus_s]

HIT | Junya Watanabe

“Impressive and so structural, so many great ideas!” [dontbeadrag]

“Stunning! It looks like a technical nightmare, very couture! I love it!” [Lola701]

” Absolute favorite Fall 2024 collection so far. From ANY city. This is how architectural beauty looks like. Best thing I’ve seen in years. This sh*t is iconic. This is like the equivalent of wearing a Zaha Hadid building.” [philophile]

See all the looks from the Junya Watanabe Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood

“Watching this I thought it was the worst I’ve seen these past few weeks.” [tourbillions]

“No words.” [matheus_s]

See all the looks from the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Victoria Beckham

“Completely faceless. She’s a poor woman’s Philo.” [GoldenPetals]

“Annoying design gimmicks added to otherwise bland separates. No one needs a blazer the color of putrid egg nog with a dislodged lapel and an upturned hem. It doesn’t make sense.” [Kennnnn]

“All of her collections are just so… there. The wallflower of shows.” [Machinegumm]

See all the looks from the Victoria Beckham Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Nina Ricci

“Irrelevant and amateur.” [GivenchyHomme]

“I’m sorry but mixture of Chanel knock-off and Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent with a sprinkle of Vauthier is not going to help to bring Nina Ricci back into the fashion conversation. The fabrics choice just screams Project Runway to me.” [THD96]

“What a mess.” [WAVES]

See all the looks from the Nina Ricci Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Carven

“Elegant and chic but with a twist.” [WAVES]

“The attitude of the collection feels very relaxed. Great individual pieces combined with sublime styling from Suzanne Koller. It’s just a chef kiss. I like the direction Louis Trotter is going for Carven.” [THD96]

“A lot of the shapes reference 1950s couture, done in a contemporary way.” [Kennnnn]

See all the looks from the Carven Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Issey Miyake

“Wonderful! This look is the epitome of elegance. I see Fashion with a capital F!” [thiago]

“It’s quite fabulous! Everything works! Even teal which isn’t the most forgiving color is working here. Those prints are fabulous too.” [Lola701]

“A masterclass of volume, draping, layering, texture, and color. Bravo! The final four looks are stunning. The flow is a unique sense of pure chic.” [TerraVera]

See all the looks from the Issey Miyake Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Rick Owens

“Meh, it feels like another collection designed for social media stunts.” [thiago]

“How depressing it must have been for people to get up early on a Thursday morning to go to this show. I only wish they were lucky enough to have gone to Chloé later that day.” [Kennnnn]

“Boring. Some of the knit dresses are fine, but it’s all so boring. Dare I say, reserved. It’s like he’s tempered or meditative, so this is all we’re gonna get. Cold, stale crumbs.” [TerraVera]

“SO, SOOO BEAUTIFUL.” [bc collector]

HIT | Rabanne

“Julien Dossena, you are the best! So stunning. Hands down my favorite show in Paris.” [Kanzai]

“I love how consistent he is. Another great collection, rich in textures and colors. I’d love to touch everything!” [thiago]

“Fabulous collection! I love how he is pushing the needle in terms of taste but it still feels familiar. It’s just enough. Marie-Amelie Sauvé must have fun styling it because she delivered! Great shoes and fantastic bags!” [Lola701]

See all the looks from the Rabanne Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Balmain

“My favorite show Olivier Rousteing has done in a while. I loved the fruit prints and aesthetic for the most part (not really as jewelry), it felt more warm and motherly to me rather than matronly and out of touch. Quite an endearing collection.” [Nader]

“Good cast! I love when designers use actual women as models instead of 15-year-olds.” [plentyofhorns]

“I don’t mind this at all. he does best when he’s honest and right here he is unabashedly frank and playing to his strengths.” [TerraVera]

See all the looks from the Balmain Fall 2024 collection.

HIT | Dries Van Noten

“A beautiful collection giving a feeling of purity. Nothing was excessive. No one works colors like Dries does.” [IloveDiorHomme]

“He is so unique it’s remarkable. His playfulness with pastels on the first part of the collection is impressive, as it is always his work with colors, then moving forward to earthier, darker tones and to finalize pops of bright pink and lilac! Stunning!” [WAVES]

“He. Always. Delivers.” [AnaD]

See all the looks from the Dries Van Noten Fall 2024 collection.

MISS | Off-White

“Overstimulating and ugly.” [AnaD]

“I don’t feel like this is connecting with anyone. A waste of resources. Ib Kamara is probably a talented stylist but not a designer. It’s totally disconnected from the hip-hop culture and looks like a styling exercise.” [Lola701]

“This is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.” [90sFan]

HIT | Courrèges

“Ooh, I quite enjoyed this. It’s very sleek and sexy and confident, which hasn’t really been a part of this season’s conversation anywhere.” [Mr-Dale]

“Despite the unusual pocket placement, the collection is still very strong. The sleek designs, strong cuts, and perfect styling by Marie Chaix really enhance the collection. The outerwear are the strongest and my favorite looks.” [THD96]

“The soundtrack slapped and the casting slayed as always.” [LadyJunon]

MISS | Chanel

“The hats and boots only made it worse.” [Mrs.T]

“Virginie Viard’s Chanel is so limited. This is giving more Loewe pre-Jonathan Anderson than Chanel. The clothes are not beautiful nor flattering.” [tourbillions]

“Vile. One of Viard’s worst collections indeed (not that the rest were good by any mean). I’m shocked bosses at Chanel are OK with her shows. This brand has gone from the top of the top to the most absolute irrelevance. I am sorry for Virginie, because she’s lovely, but she has no talent to be a creative director.” [Creative]

HIT | Louis Vuitton

“The set is everything.” [matheus_s]

“This is fabulous! I can always count on Nicolas to do the job and deliver. Maybe not the best collection of the season but these clothes have fashion energy and I can always appreciate that because it’s lacking so much in with other fashion houses.” [ghostwriter10549]

“It was such a great show! Full of references! The furry gloves he did at Balenciaga, the references to his own Vuitton collections! 10 years ago on the morning, we were excited for that new challenge for him and now 10 years later, at night we were celebrating his achievement. Fashion with a capital F! He is still the best ever for me! Stunning show, outstanding.” [Lola701]

HIT | Miu Miu

“Raf, you stay away from Miu Miu. This collection is simply amazing.” [Gazillion]

“I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Need to get these kitten heels I’m obsessed.” [prylvi]

“Funny how this feels more Prada than Prada. Great collection, great styling, one of my favorites this season.” [donyan]

HIT | Lutz Huelle

“His best collection in years. The moody setting really does wonders to the presentation of his work.” [LadyJunon]

“So beautiful, one of the best collections in Paris.” [Kanzai]

“I love Lutz, I’m always rooting for him and it’s so great that now he has the support of AZFactory/Richemont! This collection feels more elevated and it’s really great. His strongest definitely!” [Lola701]

The post Watch: Part Two of the Highlights of Paris Fashion Week Fall 2024 appeared first on theFashionSpot.

There’s something in the air at Vogue Mexico HQ and we 100% approve. Under the tutelage of editor Karla Martínez de Sala, the magazine continues to go from strength to strength and commands the attention of us here at theFashionSpot every month – without fail. The unveiling of the March 2024 installment bestows upon us a fashion and model extravaganza via the lens of photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. Across not one but six striking covers, models Christy Turlington, Raquel Zimmermann, Angelina Kendall, Mahany Pery, Conie Vallese and Sara Caballero channel some serious retro glamour, styled by Valentina Collado in new season looks from Bottega Veneta, Max Mara, Gucci, Miu Miu, Rick Owens and Saint Laurent.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Love the 80s vibe of Angelina’s cover,” enthused mikel.

“Phwaaar, look at Vogue Mexico! Angelina Kendall’s cover is nothing short of spectacular. Absolutely flawless, love the strong sense of retro glamour from the beauty styling and how I’m transported back to the covers of Vogue Paris during the 80s. Mahany Pery’s cover is just as flawless. I am OBSESSED with this!” raved vogue28.

Not everyone, however, was so besotted with Mexican Vogue‘s latest. “Yikes, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Christy Turlington look worse! What on earth happened here?” asked aracic.

Avonlea002 felt the same way, echoing: “Poor Christy, I have never seen her look this bad!”

“Inez & Vinoodh’s work here is diabolical! Christy looks terrible. Raquel and Mahany both look off, and only Angelina Kendall looks good. The Photoshop is atrocious!” exclaimed WAVES.

Blueorchid wasn’t feeling it either, expressing: “The lighting is so so so so bad. What were they thinking? Obviously they’re trying to re-capture 80s glam on the covers, but they’re lacking the softness of that lighting and photography. There was a glow to those 80s glamour portrait Vogue covers. These are just harsh and ugly.”

Everyone loves a flashback, right? Here at theFashionSpot, ahead of us descending upon each fashion capital, we’ve been flashing it back a whole decade to the Fall 2014 season of New York, London, Milan and now Paris Fashion Week.

Just like in the other cities, the fashion landscape was a whole lot different within the French capital. Raf Simons was the creative force behind Christian Dior, Hedi Slimane was heading up Saint Laurent, Riccardo Tisci was still proving every inch his worth at Givenchy and Alexander Wang presented his third mainline collection for Balenciaga while the much-loved Phoebe Philo was still winning us over at Celine.

John Galliano’s eponymous label was a fixture on the PFW schedule (designed by Bill Gaytten), as was Haider Ackermann whose collection showcased the strength of the Colombian-born French designer’s innate design talent and impeccable skill. Anthony Vaccarello’s very own namesake creations were on full display too. The Fall 2014 season also bestowed upon us the late Karl Lagerfeld’s unforgettable supermarket spectacle at Chanel and Sarah Burton’s Alexander McQueen collection felt like a magical and mythological fairytale was coming to life before our very eyes.
