Step behind the scenes at London Fashion Week as I share my firsthand experience interning for designer Marques Almeida - from steaming runway looks anxiously, to dressing models moments before showtime - and stumbling into one of Mimi's friends! Crazy! Discover the chaos, creativity, and pure adrenaline that bring a fashion show to life - from a completely unique perspective.

Paris Fashion Week may be over, but the drama lives on. From Loewe’s fearless debut under new creative direction to Balenciaga’s poetic identity crisis and Chanel’s cosmic finale, this post covers the final, and most theatrical, days of the Spring/Summer 2026 season. Expect standout moments, honest reviews, and a few blunt opinions (looking at you, Gaultier).

Fashion week is insane this season! Rabanne dazzles with quirky, colourful, maximalist fun; Rick Owens terrifies and mesmerises with dystopian alien-chic chaos; and Schiaparelli glows with couture-inspired gold, sculptural silhouettes, and theatrical opulence. Seriously, every show today is a masterpiece - my wardrobe wishlist is overflowing!

The queen of Parisian boho returned with crochet, Capri pants, and charm-drenched jackets that made neutral dressing feel fresh again. A blend of effortless tailoring, glimmering sequins and that classic laid-back cool proved Marant still knows exactly how the French really dress. Chic, cohesive, and totally wearable.

Miguel Castro Freitas makes a bold debut at Mugler, delivering theatrical silhouettes, piercing-led designs, and a masterclass in modern sensuality. Balancing Mugler’s dramatic legacy with fresh innovation, his SS26 collection is daring, disruptive, and unapologetically empowering. Expect feathers, fringe, flawless tailoring, and a whole lot of drama.

The first day of October at PFW! It was a feast for the senses: Acne Studios brought clever deconstruction and layered tailoring, Tom Ford dazzled with cinematic sensuality, and Balmain served beachy, shell-covered fantasy. From standout textures and crochet to jaw-dropping, wearable art, this season is all about drama, innovation, and storytelling through fashion.

What do you get when you combine Dior’s legacy with Jonathan Anderson’s surrealist edge? A 74-look spectacle of bows, feathers, deconstruction, and the world’s most emotionally charged blue dress. In his first major womenswear outing for Dior, Anderson doesn’t just nod to history, he turns it on its head. From a pre-show misdirect to a prism-shaped runway, I unpack every core look and moment including the try-corn hats! Buckle up. This isn’t your usual Dior.

Stella McCartney’s SS26 show wasn’t just fashion, it was poetry and power all rolled into one. Opening with Helen Mirren reciting “Come Together” and closing with Alex Consani floating in feather-free lilac, this was a collection that meant something. It fused ethics with elegance, pom-poms with peplums, and activism with artistry. From boxy suits to marshmallow dresses, Stella proved you can be powerful and planet-conscious all at once. Fashion with a purpose!

The first full day of Paris Fashion Week brought bold visions and standout moments from Lanvin, Courrèges, and Dries Van Noten. From Lanvin’s elegant revival in signature blue to Dries’ explosion of colour and Courrèges’ space-age cool, each house delivered something distinct, thoughtful, thrilling, and entirely their own. Let’s begin (chronologically, of course) with Lanvin…

Louis Vuitton took over the Louvre for SS26 with a show that married high-concept silhouettes, wearable surrealism, and a few styling curveballs (neon socks, anyone?). From sculptural opening looks to an unexpected fringe finale, I break down the highs, the huhs, and the headpieces in this opulent Paris Fashion Week spectacle. Spoiler: the venue may have outshone the clothes.
