Pierre Cardin Couture Fall 2016

When Pierre Cardin emerged from the Château du Marquis de Sade and entered its courtyard, the models, photographers and assembled press corps burst into applause and he lifted his hands like he had scored the winning goal at the Euro 2016.

In that moment, he was king of the castle, perched high above rolling fields of grapes, lavender and olive trees.

In one of his rare shows on home soil, Cardin was to use the ruined, 11th-century edifice — which he restored and uses as home base for an annual cu

Fashion face-off: Paris vs London

The City of Light has an extensive haute couture heritage that focuses on producing timeless, high-quality basics with a simple, effortless street style – think biker jacket and cigarette trousers with a classic red lip. It’s a particular brand of Gallic insouciance that’s often imitated but seldom matched, and barely a month goes by without an article about how French girls do it better.

That’s not to say that London doesn’t pack a style punch all of its own, however. Back on home ground, things

Bella Hadid on wearing that naked red dress and working with Gigi

When Bella Hadid stepped out on the Cannes red carpet wearing a dress that seemed to only be held together by magic tape and fairy dust, everyone (or at least everyone in the Vogue office) was talking about it.

In a new interview with Glamour UK, the 19-year-old has spoken about her choice of dress and why she may not wear something so risky any time soon.

“I might wear a variation of it, but that's definitely the riskiest thing I'll wear in a while," she told Glamour UK. "I'll tone the next few d

Mia Kappelgaard : On Creating Stories

Tell me about the whole way you fell into design? How did this journey start and when did you actually fall in love with it?The funny thing is, looking back now, I think that maybe it was meant to be. I grew up in a working class family. Design, and subjects relating to that matter, was not really what I thought I could do. But my dad actually worked as a sales agent for a small dress factory in Denmark. I remember being a kid and running around these giant cutting tables and just the pure, unad

The secrets of the five-minute wardrobe

Seventeen minutes out of 24 hours - is that such a terrible amount of time to spend getting dressed? That's the amount of time a recent study found women spend deciding what to wear each day. If most of that is frittered on indecisive dithering or fruitless searching for long-since buried items, if you only have an hour to get yourself and various other dependents out of the house, if you're ruffled or stressed by the process, or dissatisfied with the end results, then yes. It is.

The consequences of disposable fashion

The consequences of disposable fashion: The year I quit shopping to help the environment

Last January, I met with a friend who volunteered regularly at a clothing donation center. Kari learned the cheap clothing that many people donate – the Forever 21 skirt that cost less than your breakfast, the H&M blouses that never fit quite right, the Zara pants that pilled after one wash – all comes at a devastating cost to the environment. And while you’re clearing out your closet for donation bragging to

Kanye debuted the song, in which he jokes about sleeping with Taylor and calls her a b**ch, during an album launch and fashion show event in New York earlier this year (16), prompting Swift's representative to blast his choice of lyrics.

Kanye shot back and revealed Taylor was aware of the song and had given him the OK to reference her, but the pop star's reps insisted that was not the case.

Then, in a GQ interview last week (ends17Jun16), Kanye's wife Kim Kard

Street wear was trumping more formal looks during menswear previews for next spring and summer on the third day of Milan Fashion Week on Monday.

Many of the collections offered statement basics on which to build a wardrobe, including military, mariner and athletic that can be mixed and matched to create a personalized look. Few were the well-defined suits. And where there was office and evening wear, the fit was relaxed, befitting the season.
