Summary
It’s Day 1 of our back-to-back Paris Fashion Week coverage and you’re in for a treat.
Nicole Phelps and Vogue’s Fashion News Director, Mark Holgate, kick things off with their first impressions of the earliest shows, starting with Anthony Vaccarello’s cinematic Saint Laurent collection and Julian Klausner’s emotion-driven debut at Dries Van Noten. Plus, they share on-the-go reactions straight from the car en route to Dior and Balmain.
Later in the episode, Chioma Nnadi reconnects with her longtime mentor and former boss, Sally Singer (now President of Art + Commerce at WME). They revisit an iconic article Sally wrote 25 years ago on fashion’s then New Guard—featuring designers like Hedi Slimane, Junya Watanabe, and Nicolas Ghesquière; and draw striking parallels to today’s major fashion month. The two also discuss which designer debuts they’re most excited about and what this moment signals for the future of fashion.
The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.
