Exceptional Moments at European Fashion Weeks: New Creations and Challenges for New Designers!

As the exciting month of fashion draws to a close—with just over a week to go until Paris Fashion Week—Nicole Phelps invited Vogue’s Fashion Features Director Mark Holgate and Vogue France’s new Editorial Content Director Clare Thompson-Gonville to discuss the most memorable moments of the European fashion shows so far.

And where do we begin? In London, a true knight sat front row at Daniel Lee’s Burberry show, while Dolce & Gabbana stepped out of its comfort zone in Milan, presenting a massive street show that included a lineup full of low-waisted utility trousers. In Paris, three established fashion houses saw their debuts by new designers. Today, Sarah Burton presents her vision for Givenchy, while Julian Klausner of Dries Van Noten and Haider Ackermann of Tom Ford face an additional challenge: the established designers are sitting front row, watching every detail closely.
