New York Fashion Week
A lesson in cool.
On your marks, it’s New York Fashion Week. Straight in with explosive creativity and celebrity-packed front rows, NYFW begins the fashion month proceedings with its typical air of relaxed playfulness and penchant for youthful style. Look out for shows by renowned designers; Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang, The Row and Ralph Lauren.
London Fashion Week
For unexpected edge.
Up second, London Fashion Week sits on the map as the industry’s rebel child. Experimental and unpredictable, designers build their shows on British creativity with controversial political and social commentary against theatrical backdrops around the city. Heralding the future, show highlights include Burberry, Victoria Beckham, Molly Goddard, J.W. Anderson, Margaret Howell and Christopher Kane.
Over the week, the streets of London become a playground for young creatives – both professional and everyday – to soak in the buzz of events and unleash personal expression in the form of curated outfits. Historically, the famous Neoclassical building of Somerset House opened its doors to house the week but in recent years, the city’s plethora of quirky and landmark venues are utilised by various brands to give bigger and more dramatic style performances. Venues have included; 180 Strand, Tate Modern, The National Portrait Gallery and Troubadour Theatre. Outside the shows, flocks of paparazzi pull the shutter to capture the stylish industry names in all their finery – this season, The Insider will be among them to bring you the very best street style of LFW.
Milan Fashion Week
Powerful refinement.
Third stop, Milan! Luxury, glamour and attention to craftsmanship mark this city as the fashion and design capital of Italy. Expect collections that exude sexiness, creative flair, elegance and provocative undertones from key designers such as Prada, Bottega Veneta, Fendi, Versace and Gucci.
In a less centralised way than New York and London, MFW sees a breadth of venues for a range of iconic shows. Some designers opt for historic landmarks such as the courtyard of the Castello Sforzesco, the Arco della Pace or the Piazza Duomo are while others repeat presentations in familiar spaces such as Versace’s own House of Versace venue.
Paris Fashion Week
The home of chic.
The finale of fashion month takes place in Paris. The home of Haute Couture, these final shows naturally command attention in an array of chic designs that push the boundaries of refinement for the new season. The week that is often prioritised above all is lead by a host of true and recognised icons of fashion including Balenciaga, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Chloe and Dior.
The Insider team will be on the ground at Paris, capturing the sleekest street style and reporting on the most notable of shows at venues such as Carrousel du Louvre, Espace Eiffel and the Grand Palais. This is the week to watch.
