Dear BoF Community,
The latest round of fashion weeks may not have offered the big bang of the designer debuts we saw in September and October, but this was a critical season for other reasons. If last time we had a first look at how a crop of newly installed designers aiming to revamp a long list of ailing brands, this time we got more of a sense of how their creative resets are bedding in — and landing with customers.
My first show this cycle was Jonathan Anderson’s second Dior Homme show on Jan. 21; my last was Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu show on March 10. In between, I saw a total of 59 shows; had 16 CEO chats; attended 15 dinners, 11 cocktails and three parties — and helped judge a fashion prize, visited a craft exhibition and had a top-secret fashion-tech demonstration.
All of this provided plenty of opportunity to take the pulse of a global fashion industry continuing to grapple with a historic downturn, not to mention the added uncertainty of another war metastasizing across the wider Middle East and Gulf region.
With some pattern recognition, this is what people were grappling with
— The Global Luxury Market in the Fog of War
— The Prospects for Saks Fifth Avenue
— Gucci and the Kering Conundrum
— Commercial Traction. What’s Working in Stores?
Read my full briefing on the fashion season that was.
