Fashion month, what feels like the longest month of the year, has reached its end. On today’s episode, Chioma and Chloe are joined by friends of the pod, Vogue Runway Director Nicole Phelps and Vogue Fashion News Director Mark Holgate, to unpack the best moments of the past few weeks. Paris Fashion Week just wrapped, and the Vogue team was itching to get into it. (Yes, there was apparently a bed bug infestation plaguing the City of Light, but nevertheless, the shows went on.)
Fresh off the tarmac, Nicole was our resident expert on all things Paris. Maison Margiela, with its scrap clothing pieced into beautiful silhouettes, was a season highlight for her, as was the larger-than-life Undercover collection, which made headlines with its terrarium dresses (with live plants and insects in the garments). Don’t worry—no butterflies were harmed. Mark was a fan of the pairing of a sparkly cocktail dress with a T-shirt at Miu Miu, and of the ephemeral Prada collection, with all its flowing chiffon. And another friend of the podcast, Usher, was in the front row at Marni. He was performing in Paris and having a great time—but when isn’t he?
