It could be five years before we take the escalators up to the top of the Pompidou Centre again. The museum is closing for a massive renovation and Schiaparelli’s show last night was among the last events before work begins. It was here a year-and-a-half ago that Daniel Roseberry saw a Brancusi exhibit that was...
Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have returned to ready-to-wear with a unique proposition: “It’s an exercise in how to take couture ideas and use them to make a wearable proposition for a woman,” the former said. “So you have something that’s recognizable, but also something that’s hopefully new or surprising or different, but still wearable.”...
At his men’s show in June, Rick Owens’s models took a full dip in the Palais de Tokyo’s fountain.

Right now in Paris, there’s an installation featuring photographs of her work plastered onto pillars in the forecourt of Dover Street Market’s Marais outpost, and her vivid, dreamy landscapes, sun-bleached skulls and yonic petal paintings have inspired everyone from Gareth Pugh to...
Little wonder that during this show Casablanca’s CEO Fred Lukoff was wreathed in smiles and chair-jacking like he’d been transported to the Sound Factory Bar circa 1993. The brand he operates pulled off a great coup today, partnering with “Little” Louie Vega to premier “Lift Me Up,” a new track that designer Charaf Tajer reported...
Haider Ackermann has found his place. There’s only one Tom Ford, but Ackermann shares the brand founder’s flair for the cinematic, and he directs his models like they were actors on a movie set. “I told them I want them to seduce. They’re aware they’re seducing, but they act as if they’re not aware of...
