Reporting live from Vogue’s Paris offices just before the Chanel and Louis Vuitton shows, the hosts of The Run-Through—joined by special guest Claire Thomson-Jonville, head of editorial content at Vogue France—agreed on one thing: for the most part, fashion’s new creative directors are no longer just trying out their roles, but truly stepping into them. This was perhaps most evident at Givenchy, where Sarah Burton presented a fringe-covered gown on Mona Tougaard that left the audience in awe. Another standout was Michael Rider’s third collection for Celine at the Institut de France, which Sarah Mower described as “expensive-looking, but aspirationally relatable.”
Meanwhile, Pieter Mulier’s intimate farewell show for Alaïa created a deeply moving moment. His choice to seat the entire atelier team and honor them in a commemorative book felt particularly heartfelt. “These designers are showing us they’re working with intention, empathy, and kindness,” noted Chioma.
As Paris Fashion Week drew to a close, attention turned once again to Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel, where British Vogue’s March cover star—and friend of the podcast—Bhavitha Mandava has now been officially named a house ambassador. As Chloe put it in her closing words: “Happy Chanel Day to all who celebrate!”
