From €3.3 billion in annual revenue to a final runway bathed in gold, the Belgian designer leaves behind a powerful legacy. But as luxury fashion confronts a changing market, his departure raises a bigger question: can Saint Laurent reinvent itself without losing the very identity he spent a decade refining? PARIS Some fashion departures feel inevitable. Others arrive just as a designer’s world seems to have reached its most recognisable form. Anthony Vaccarello’s exit from

Anthony Vaccarello transforms a discreet reference to Yves Saint Laurent’s personal world into a new everyday silhouette, photographed by Juergen Teller. There are certain objects whose elegance lies in their intimacy. A letter folded into an envelope, a handwritten note kept close, an accessory designed to accompany rather than announce itself. For Saint Laurent’s Women’s Winter 26 collection, Anthony Vaccarello turns this quiet vocabulary into a new expression of contempora

Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 is entering its final stretch, but the most interesting story is no longer about which collection produced the biggest image on social media. It is about what the past week is quietly revealing about the future of luxury fashion. With the official Paris calendar running from September 28 to October 6 and 68 runway shows and 34 presentations scheduled, this season is smaller than last year, but arguably more consequential. The industry is

With Re{form}, John Galliano returns to fashion through an unexpected alliance with Zara, transforming pieces from the retailer’s past into theatrical, genderless designs that blur the line between couture and mass fashion. There is something almost perfectly Galliano about the surprise. After leaving Maison Margiela in December 2024, John Galliano disappeared from the fashion calendar. Then came the announcement that he would collaborate with Zara. Not a couture house. Not a

Why accessible luxury, contemporary fashion and a new definition of value are reshaping the market in 2026 For years, luxury seemed to follow a remarkably reliable formula: increase prices, restrict distribution, intensify scarcity and move the customer steadily higher up the pyramid. In 2026, that formula is being tested. The issue is not simply whether consumers can afford luxury. It is whether they still believe that a higher price necessarily represents higher value. That

On September 22, Vogue World arrived in Milan for its fifth edition, transforming the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II into a spectacular celebration of Italian craftsmanship, fashion and innovation. Beyond the glamour and celebrity appearances, the event delivered a powerful message about what luxury can mean in the age of artificial intelligence.

Donatella Versace is entering a new chapter. Nearly three decades after taking the creative reins of the house founded by her brother Gianni, the Italian designer is returning to a creative leadership role with a new independent fashion and beauty venture developed in partnership with REVOLVE Group.

Simone Crestani Glassoctopus A transparent creature suspended between glass and time In Glassoctopus, Simone Crestani transforms transparent glass into a miniature underwater vision. Rising just 3.5 millimetres above a hand-guilloché gold dial coated in deep blue, the octopus appears to float within an imaginary nocturnal ocean. The sculpture required an entirely new technique. Tiny glass rods were melted and shaped piece by piece with tungsten tools, while every tentacle and

Laura Baverstock Tigerbroidery Gold embroidery captures the movement of a tiger A tiger in honey and tangerine hues prowls through a richly embroidered jungle in Tigerbroidery, Laura Baverstock’s interpretation of gold embroidery at miniature scale. The animal is created from 9-karat yellow and white gold embroidery wires, while specially developed ceramic-coated black wires form its stripes. The surrounding landscape is embroidered onto bespoke green silk, with grasses rende

Marianne Guély Papercroc Paper becomes sculpture in a monochromatic vision In Papercroc, Marianne Guély transforms white cotton paper into a miniature sculptural landscape. An all-white crocodile moves through apparently snow-covered vegetation, its three-dimensional form created from sheets of 250- and 300-gram paper through embossing, laser cutting and hand assembly. The composition measures only three millimetres in height. Specially developed brass matrices, heated to bet

Anya Midori Oraygami When origami learns to move like a manta ray For Oraygami, Anya Midori brings a school of miniature manta rays into an imagined underwater universe. Each creature measures between five and ten millimetres and is folded from hand-coloured Japanese paper before being mounted on fine brass stems. The deep-blue hand-guilloché dial and a moiré effect on the crystal reinforce the sensation of shifting light beneath the ocean. The project required a completely n

Julien Vermeulen Feathersnake Featherwork reduced to the rhythm of a heartbeat The serpent at the centre of Feathersnake is constructed from more than 200 tiny pieces derived from seven rare Lophophore feathers. Rising only three millimetres from the dial, its blue-green plumage creates the illusion of living scales, while goose feathers form the surrounding vegetation. The extreme scale required the development of a custom micro-scalpel and a modified sewing needle for apply

Anna Le Corno Woodenwings The natural grain of wood takes flight In Woodenwings, Anna Le Corno transforms twelve different wood species into a fierce falcon poised above the dial. Smoked eucalyptus and dark blue-dyed birch are among the materials used to create the bird, whose plumage is rendered through a combination of circular marquetry, sculpted layered marquetry and a feather-by-feather assembly technique developed specifically for the wing. At only three millimetres in
