At Shoptalk 2023, companies unveiled innovative tools that place AI at the forefront of commerce, reflecting a significant shift in retail dynamics.

Clare Vivier and Heather Taylor have perfected the art of hosting by dividing responsibilities, with Vivier focusing on wine and Taylor on flowers and dessert. Their friendship of 20 years has led to a seamless collaboration that enhances the dinner party experience.

Schiaparelli's timeless designs spun glamor out of the avant-garde, showcasing a unique blend of high fashion and artistic expression that continues to inspire.

The new store preserves the building's historic character-keeping original brick walls exposed-while layering in contemporary materials such as metallic finishes, reflective surfaces, and semi‑gloss flooring.

Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway kicked off their global press tour for 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' in Mexico City at Museu Frida Kahlo, debuting new looks for the evening.

Future serves. He volleys. He shouts '15/Love' from the baseline. Now you know. This knowledge comes courtesy of Louis Vuitton's latest campaign, dubbed, appropriately, 'In My Bag.'

The Paddington was first introduced in 2005 by Chloé's then-creative director, Phoebe Philo, and famous fans of the label's free-spirited aesthetic were immediately on board.

Not just any algorithm, mind you, but the most devilish metric devised to date. Because it finally translates the old publicity strategy of fame once governed by unquantifiable guesswork into money. No, it isn't (black) magic, just computerized math: by analyzing and comparing quantitative and qualitative data, the program in question calculates and assigns an economic value to these star appearances based on their public performance.

Everybody thought I would make oversized bomber jackets with monograms, said the mononymous king-of-the-hoodie designer after the show. That's what ChatGPT said, apparently. But that's not why I came to Gucci. Instead, he said, his Gucci will be energy, passion, fun and sex.

Teyana Taylor showcased the maximalist layering technique of piling unexpected pieces atop one another, as seen on the runways of Thom Browne and Loewe. Completely decked out in Hermès, the Straw actor wore a collared oat jacket with long, billowy sleeves, left completely open for a skin-baring twist. It was styled with a printed scarf that looped around the collar, evoking a makeshift vest.

London has always been a city of discovery. London doesn't just host fashion, it incubates it. Co-Director Biljana Poposka Roberts calls this season "fashion without borders," and that's exactly what it felt like: a cultural collision in the chicest possible way.

Stylist and writer Orla Dempsey tried on some ties for a week, following a big fashion trend for 2026 and following in the footsteps of some famous faces

In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.

Travelling for art can be incredibly virtuous and culturally rewarding, like collecting souvenirs for your eyes (and from the post card rail in the gift shop). Remembering to research what is on before I book flights is a lesson I learnt all too well after I missed the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibition in 2016 by one day. As a fashion obsessed 20 something, I did not take this well and have since improved my itinerary planning and exhibition calendar checking.

The end of the show did not mark the end of the trip. Back at the Le Grand Bellevue the group divided between fireside hot chocolates and the hotel's spa. The hotel's Le Grand Spa is over 3,000 square metres and has eight different types of saunas, several ice showers, foot baths and an outdoor bubble pool (named thus as it's bigger than your standard jacuzzi).

Even a casual mention of online lottery tucked into lifestyle chatter feels normal because influencers blend interests so effortlessly across posts, creating a steady flow of conversation that pulls you in. Fashion content has a now-or-never feel. Fashion choices are seen as they happen, rather than in a presentation. Fashion influencers are turning mundane environments into instant fashion displays. This authenticity inspires a whole new generation of fashion with a fresh look.

It's not a multi-thousand pound handbag from Hermes that best captures the new era of It bags, but a 149 tote from John Lewis. Launched this season, it's deeper (45cm) and taller (33cm) than your average handbag, and comes loaded with good intentions. It's able to hold your packed lunch, flask and book, as well at a push as your gym kit.

I think that people have realized that if I had a pair of distressed jeans, they can't wear them more than once or twice - three times tops - in a year because it's gonna look repetitive,
