“Failure helps you find areas of improvement. It makes you better. One of my favorite quotes is: ‘I turned my Ls into lessons and my flaws into weapons.’ I love that quote and I live by it. Funny enough, I actually wrote it myself.” —@shai

Besides making exceptional clothing, @kenzo certainly has a talent for putting on shows. At last night’s défilé, the French luxury house and Artistic Director @Nigo let Paris, and more specifically the Eiffel Tower—a monument at which locals and the fashion world sometimes role their eyes—be a part of the magic, making it a night to remember.
@Amiri, amiright? This season, @mikeamiri was all about the glitz and glamour, putting a flashy spin on ‘70s style with oversized lapels and earth tones—brown, burnt orange, mustard yellow, etc. But, similar to a Georges Seurat painting, the bold looks are all the more interesting when taking a closer look, with impeccable embroidery—often shaped as roses—standing out amongst other fine-tuned details one might miss at first glance.

@hommeplisse_isseymiyake has a cultish following among fashion lovers, and this morning’s show in Paris is a strong reminder why. Unique silhouettes, like something out of a Star Wars movie, seemed to glide through the room like kites taking off into the sky.

@amiparis, like a good friend, is always reliable. @alexandremattiussi9’s show last night in Paris leaned into their strength in relaxed tailoring, showcasing soft, muted tones (an undeniable trend this season) and a contemporary twist on French elegance.

Closing out Milan Men’s Fashion Week, @GiorgioArmani unveiled his latest Fall/Winter 2025/26 menswear collection.
His show, held at his iconic headquarters on Via Borgonuovo, marked the finale of four days of non-stop previews for the menswear season ahead. Amid the impeccably tailored coats and suits, the Giorgio Armani Neve collection stood out as the best part of the show—a winter ski dream that actually makes us excited for next season’s chill. Because who wouldn’t want to hit the slopes looking this good?

There is nothing more sought after these days than looking like a young bohemian, and as we enter 2025, let’s say this year could be the year of the eccentric!
For the men’s FW25 season, Miuccia Prada, Raf Simons, and the @Prada design team have done it again—showing us a mismatched perfection does not just take mastery, it gives us all a new way of looking at men’s fashion.
