Behind the glamour of couture week, away from the spotlight of the runway shows, lies the quiet brilliance of the artisans. These skilled craftsmen pour their expertise and passion into every stitch, bead, feather, and flower that adorns each runway creation. Few understand the importance and artistry of this better than Christelle Kocher. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in London, Kocher spent over a decade in the luxury fashion industry, working with renowned brands such as Bottega Veneta, Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Sonia Rykiel, Martine Sitbon, and Emporio Armani. In 2010, she took on the role of Artistic Director at Lemarié, and joined the Fashion Métiers d'art in 1996, where she worked closely with artisans to craft some of the most intricate couture textiles. This experience proved transformative, honing her understanding of both the technical and creative sides of luxury fashion.In this conversation, Kocher reflects on the beauty and importance of handmade traditions, staying inspired, sustainability and its impact on the industry and the future legacy of Lemarié.

Under Michael Kliger's stewardship, Mytheresa has emerged as perhaps the most profitable platform of its kind. Unlike its sprawling competitors, Mytheresa thrives on a philosophy of precision—offering a tightly curated selection shaped by an intimate and ongoing dialogue with its discerning customer base. Where most brand events aim for maximum visibility and the optics of adjacency to “the right people,” Mytheresa takes a different route. Their gatherings are a masterclass in exclusivity, designed with their fiercely loyal repeat customers in mind—a rarefied echo chamber that isn't trying to be everything to everyone, but everything to the few who matter most when it comes to their bottom line. "You need to define your audience and then be as good as you can to serve them and to stay close. Again, it's this dichotomy of they are looking for inspiration, but they're not willing to scroll through 500 depictions of products" - Michael Kliger Episode Highlights: The son of two entrepreneurs, Michael Kliger decided to study business and initially pursued consulting while being unsure of which sector or function he was ready to fully commit to. After spending 12 years in retail, but never in digital, he made the move from McKinsey to eBay to gain a deeper understanding of the marketplace that was rapidly becoming the present and future of commerce. Michael recognized early on that the customer experience is the cornerstone of a company's success, whether in digital or brick-and-mortar environments. Rather than tell them what they wanted, he first asked. While more complex designs and customer experiences emerge with the expansion of technology and its capabilities, Michael committed early on to having their content strategy guided by a deliberate simplicity. Understanding that their customer had significant buying power but a limited budget when it came to time, he quickly learned that their role was to inspire while curating a thoughtful, edited selection that met their customers' unique needs. Ultimately putting forward a smaller, yet more targeted, offering than their competitors. Like many others in the luxury sector, they have recognized and began catering to the growing demand for new categories, particularly in home and decor. Partnering with brands like Dries Van Noten and Valentino, part of their distinctive offering includes frequent capsule collections or exclusive product drops. Despite the platform's ongoing and impressive success, Kliger describes their strategies as being in a constant state of evolution, likening it to a snake shedding its skin. A firm believer in the importance of consuming data points—whether through personal anecdotes, customer feedback, or other sources—Michael highlights how new ideas often emerge when different pieces of information suddenly connect. Michael also discusses the acquisition of Net-a-Porter and its implications for the future of both companies' respective businesses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Willa Bennett, a trailblazing force in media, is the editor-in-chief of Highsnobiety, steering the publication to new heights of innovation and influence. A Forbes 30 Under 30 luminary, her journey began at Seventeen, pioneering its queer vertical before igniting social strategies at GQ, and championing diversity as Condé Nast's global co-chair. The American Society of Magazine Editors recognized her for social media excellence and video programming, and her leadership at Highsnobiety garnered recognition in the Digiday and Muse Awards. Highlighting the importance of authentic narratives in connecting with young audiences, what she sees as contemporary now is pushing the boundaries and shaping the future of media—even if that means tuning out the background noise and tapping into real community. Episode Highlights: Bennett grew up in LA, balancing two passions: masculine menswear magazines and hyper-feminine ballet practice. Talking about her early passion for vintage finds and retro styles, Bennett says experimenting with styling became another medium for her, “like writing.” She grew up reading publications like Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Nylon, and Dazed—publications she says understood young consumers and which she still keeps a few print copies. Bennett moved up through various roles in the industry at a time when social media marketing was in its more raw, early stage. Her role at Highsnobiety gives her creative freedom in that it moves with the youth culture and its fast-paced, creative, adaptive, and reactive workplace environment. Bennett is ahead of the curve, balancing personal perspective with editorial consideration and curation. Her team at Highsnobiety pushes a particular and intentional editorial vision, championing designers and talent that they want to carve out a space for. Some of Bennett's favorite cover stars have been Billie Eilish, Andre 3000, and Pamela Anderson, though she felt strongly about the Dries Van Noten cover. Bennett has spoken about forming real connections as a priority over solely professional relationships, despite how “transactional” the industry can be. Under Bennett's eye, Highsnobiety's niche is to move in tandem with the zeitgeist instead of against it, never telling readers what to do or who to wear. Bennett considers real-life events crucial to foundational community building, saying, “that to me is a way bigger metric of success than like any influencer with 16 million followers posting one slide that everyone's going to skip over anyway.” She's published poetry collections benefitting The Audre Lorde Project for queer youth. For Bennett, deleting social media is what's contemporary now, surprisingly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We are back with Philippe Pourhashemi to discuss this past menswear season. We talk about the shows at Pitti Uomo, Milan, and Paris, from the strange department-store-bound debut of Marine Serre at Pitti Uomo, and an unexpectedly joyful show of Pierre-Louis Mascia, about how bad the Milan shows were this season, the gimmicks at J.W. Anderson, the impotence at Prada, about the grotesque spectacles that Pharrell puts on at Louis Vuitton, and how Japanese designers like Undercover, Sacai, Kolor, and the newcomers like Masu and Taakk continue to make Paris look creative. We go in depth about Dries Van Noten's last bow, the show itself, and Van Noten's legacy. We discuss the spectacle of the Rick Owens show, asking when is spectacle good and when is it not enough? And much, much more. Support the Show.

Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Robin Givhan renowned for her insightful fashion commentary, seamlessly integrates fashion into broader cultural discussions. She started as a writer on the Detroit techno scene beat before making her way into fashion journalism. Emphasizing the importance of being a generalist, Givhan talks To Christopher Michael about her early experiences in fashion and how they continue to shape her trajectory and approach today. She speaks of political representation and fashion's crucial ties to identity, underscoring the need in today's landscape for a higher standard of reporting in fashion journalism. By exploring the intersection of politics and fashion and the balance between storytelling and crafting, Givhan reveals profound insight and a unique perspective as an influential voice in journalism. Episode Highlights: Talking about her childhood in Michigan, Givhan loved reading and writing and stumbled unintentionally into the fashion sector after writing about Detroit's techno scene. Covering menswear was "a very gentle entry point" into fashion and allowed her to focus on the details, quality, endurance, and longevity of garments. Describing her entry into womenswear as marked by gatekeepers—who were frankly mean—Givhan was stubbornly determined and interested in the fashion scene's character-driven nature rather than its more consumerist elements. Givhan is careful to distinguish between general interest reporting and the reviewing that is natural to "a fashion ecosystem." Givhan notes that she doesn't necessarily have a stake in what's happening, which makes her a good critic. There is a difference between social media influencers, who are engaging, and actual historians, who can give information to journalists, and critics, who can "connect the dots" for the public at large while being held to higher standards. The way people consume media is changing, though Givhan is optimistic that voracious readers will always exist. She sees significant progress in some political realms; the pendulum always swings, oscillates, and zigzags. Givhan outlines sociopolitical fashion as a tool for education, a kind of shorthand for identity, and a means of representation. Is fashion dependent on anchors or hooks from the culture at large? To Givhan, it's engaging enough to stand on its own, while fashion as an industry tends to rely on mainstream media for support. Givhan contrasts companies like Dries Van Noten and Versace, which remain inside the fashion realm, to labels that use celebrities to inspire growth. What's contemporary now is being comfortable in the gray spaces. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Before taking the reins as creative director of Carolina Herrera in 2018, Wes Gordon had been immersed in the world of high fashion by running his own label and going to school at Central Saint Martins. After graduating, he launched his eponymous label in 2009 and quickly garnered attention for his sophisticated and vibrant aesthetic, which blends modern sensibilities with timeless elegance. Since stepping into his role at Carolina Herrera, Wes Gordon has been credited with infusing the brand with a fresh, exuberant spirit while also honoring the opulent and refined legacy of the founder, Mrs. Herrera. His collections are celebrated for their dynamic use of color, meticulous craftsmanship and playful yet sophisticated aesthetic. Under his creative guidance, the brand has continued to captivate a global audience, expand to new markets and grow its e-commerce reach.

Daley, Gucci, Prada, and Zegna (best of season in Milan), why Rick Owens was the show of the season and Yohji Yamamoto was a letdown, the continued elegance of Dries Van Noten, and Rei Kawakubo's uncharacteristic feeling of lightness, Hermès' uncompromising quality, why the Japanese newcomers TAAKK and MASU (not covered by Vogue Runway, but covered by us) made Paris exciting, and which small brands we loved and why we are going to lean into supporting smaller brands this year.

Has been referred to as the "mommiest mom" in the past. Puts up with a lot of BS from her curmudgeonly husband (my dad). I've given her many kitchen items and books over the years. Favorite brands are things like Emma Bridgewater, Hanna Anderson, and Talbots. I recently moved to NYC, so I'm hoping to get her something that will make her feel less "abandoned" and more cared for.

We are back with our regular guest Philippe Pourhashemi to review the Spring / Summer 2024 women's season. We discuss in depth the debuts of Peter Do at Helmut Lang, Sabato de Sarno at Gucci, Peter Hawkings at Tom Ford, and Stefano Gallici at Ann Demeulemeester. We talk about the brilliant Undercover outing (spoiler alert: best of season!), Sacai, Rick Owens, Comme des Garçons, Dries Van Noten, Prada, and many other shows.Support the show
BoF's editor-at-large and founder and editor-in-chief look back at the key moments of fashion month, from Sabato de Sarno's debut at Gucci to Sarah Burton's farewell show for Alexander McQueen.Background: This season, fashion month saw several highly-anticipated debuts (Sabato de Sarno at Gucci, and Peter Hawkings at Tom Ford) as well as goodbyes (Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, Fabio Zambernardi at Prada and Miu Miu, and Gabriela Hearst at Chloé). But, beyond those headline-making moments, the highlights included the slyness and humour at Prada where models walked down a runway against a backdrop of dripping slime to an Alfred Hitchcock soundtrack, Dries Van Noten's and models at JW Anderson in plasticine-made hoodies..“The best shows make you think and make you feel a little uncomfortable or they evoke some kind of emotion — but they also make you want to shop,” says Imran Amed, BoF's founder and editor-in-chief. Following the conclusion of Paris Fashion Week, Amed sat down with BoF's editor-at-large Tim Blanks to discuss the highlights of the Spring/Summer 2024 season and the hallmarks of a great fashion show. Key Insights:Sabato de Sarno's much-anticipated debut at Gucci, which included a change of venue from the streets of Milan's Brera district to Gucci's headquarters forced by inclement weather. “If those girls had been walking on cobblestones just like people going somewhere, seeing those clothes in a real environment, it would have taken on a different kind of life,” says Blanks. Alexander McQueen said goodbye to Sarah Burton, who served as a steward for the brand for more than 10 years after the death of its namesake designer. ( “ She was so umbilically connected with [McQueen] that the brand ethos was sustained to a remarkable degree. I would hate to see McQueen now become one of those brands where no one really knows what to do with it and it's in play,” says Blanks. Rick Owens show featured plumes of coloured smoke and bursts of rose petals — and a collection full of thought-provoking statement pieces. “There is really no one like him in fashion, and I don't know if there has ever been anyone like him in fashion,” says Blanks. Blanks calls Undercover's Jun Takahashi one of the industry's most fascinating designers. This year, Takahashi showed a provocative collection that played with proportions and layering, with a finale that included “terrarium” skirts, filled with plants and live butterflies. “He makes clothes that … people might consider to be avant garde, but they're so beautiful and wearable as well,” says Blanks.Prada was the “show of the season.” A few years into Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons' collaboration as co-creative directors, the show's success was a convergence of elements beyond the collection itself — from the soundtrack (Alfred Hitchcok's “Vertigo”) to the set. “It reminded us of Prada in its full glory where there was that slyness and humour and perverse glamour,” says Blanks.

Belgian fashion designer Meryll Rogge joins Dominique Nzeyimana in the loft! In another podcast exclusive, Dominique sits down with Meryll Rogge: the award-winning Belgian fashion designer whose pieces have been worn by notables like Paloma Elsesser, Lil Nas X, Zazie Beetz, Rose Byrne, Gwyneth Paltrow, the Kardashian-Jenners and our own Elodie Ouedraogo. On this episode Meryll reminisces about her childhood in Deinze, overcoming feelings of isolation, the trials and joys of law and fashion school (oh hey, Stephanie D'heygere and Glenn Martens!) and landing her dream internship and job at Marc Jacobs in NYC that set her on the path to global fashion cult status. Just before the pandemic struck early 2020, Meryll debuted her Whit Stillman, David Armstrong and Nan Goldin-inspired collection, making instant waves at Paris Fashion Week. The label was immediately picked up by 19 luxury retailers, including Bergdorf Goodman, Beams, Net-a-Porter and SSENSE, with added glowing coverage by The New York Times. Discover how Meryll made her teenage-vision-board-turned-portfolio a reality, gain insights into the profound influence behind her sought-after namesake collections and find out what might be next.

Kunstpaus Chris Dercon kwam speciaal overgevlogen naar 'Touché' net voor hij de nieuwe directeur zou worden van de Volksbühne in Berlijn. Een aanstelling die voor de nodige commotie zorgde. Zijn interesse voor kunst dankt de Lierenaar aan zijn vroegere schoolleraar. Als hij even niet met kunst bezig is, verzamelt hij muziek van brassbands, geniet hij van de films van Jean-Luc Godard of van de stoffen van modeontwerper Dries Van Noten. Maar waar moet het naartoe met het museum van de toekomst?
As the temps rise, we're starting to think more and more about what to wear in *this weather* (and, while we're at it, the celebs we love so much we'd like to give thim a daytime talk show).

BoF's editor-in-chief and editor-at-large walk through the highlights and unforgettable moments of fashion weeks in Milan and Paris. Background: Fashion's Spring/Summer 2023 season was jam-packed with debuts, returns and chatter-inducing moments. Alessandro Michele was inspired by his mother and identical twin sister for his “Twinsburg” Gucci presentation which featured 68 pairs of identical twins. Rick Owens drew a dress from a 700 million year-old jellyfish. Dior and Yves Saint Laurent crafted elaborate grotto and fountain backdrops for their collections, while Dries Van Noten staged his Paris comeback in lockstep with Japanese designers including Junya Watanabe, Noir Kei Ninomiya and Jun Takahashi for Undercover — BoF editor-at-large Tim Blanks' favourite of the season. “To me that felt like one of the best commentaries on the pandemic that we've had from fashion — of everything that's passed, everything that's lost, everything that's been lost,” said Blanks. “And then at the same time, the celebration with the fact that he's still there.” Key Insights: In Milan, four major houses — Ferragamo, Missoni, Etro and Bally — debuted the first collections from new designers, with hopes to replicate the success big names like Tom Ford and Alessando Michele have been able to create for Gucci, said Tim Blanks. For Balenciaga, Demna staged a mud-drenched show with battered and bruised, hoodie-clad models that provoked an intense emotional reaction from the crowd, while Nicolas Ghesquière showed an energetic and future-looking collection for Louis Vuitton. This fashion month, many catered to both in-person and online audiences to varying degrees of success. Valentino, for one, notably struggled with an element of the show just for cameras, another for people outside and an uber-long runway that saw a number of models take their shoes off. Fashion traditionally provides a sense of escape, said Blanks, but it's increasingly harder to turn away from the real world. Economies are deteriorating, Russia's assault on the Ukraine continues and the artist formerly known as Kanye West put a shirt emblazoned with “White Lives Matter,” a phrase deployed by hate groups, on the runway.

{Épisode sorti initialement en septembre 2018}.Dans ce nouvel épisode, nous allons à la rencontre de Bastien Daguzan, Directeur général de Paco Rabanne. Dans cet episode, Bastien revient sur son parcours, depuis ses études supérieures en Droit et à l'IFM, jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Il nous parle de son expérience chez Kris Van Ashe, de sa rencontre avec Christophe Lemaire, de sa méthode qu'il applique à chaque fois qu'il accompagne une marque ; il évoque sa collaboration avec Jacquemus, et sa mission chez Paco Rabanne. J'ai adoré interviewer Bastien, j'espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir à l'écouter. SE RETROUVER DANS L'EPISODE 01:10 Bastien se présente rapidement et revient sur son parcours 03:00 Son passage chez Kris Van Assche 05:13 Sa rencontre avec Christophe Lemaire, ce qu'il a fait chez Lemaire 09:15 On commence par quoi, quand on prend les rennes d'une maison, comment ça se passe concrètement, le produit, le marketing, le pricing 14:30 Comment ça se traduit dans la communication, les outils qu'il utilise, comment ça se traduit avec les acheteurs 18:00 Comment ça se passe humainement quand il arrive dans une marque, ce mindset vient d'où, qu'est ce qu'il ferait différemment chez Lemaire, ses résultats chez Lemaire 23:40 Comment ça s'est passé au début de sa collaboration avec Fast Retailing (Uniqlo), sa rencontre avec Tadashi Yanai, le patron d'Uniqlo 28:00 Par qui il se fait accompagner sur des sujets techniques 29:30 Après Lemaire, pourquoi il a quitté Lemaire, son arrivée chez Paco Rabanne 32:50 Quels étaient les challenges de Paco Rabanne 34:20 Pourquoi relancer le prêt-à-porter, le chantier Paco Rabanne, le produit, comment retravailler le propos pour l'aligner avec le consommateur final, comment modifier la communication pour toucher la cliente finale 38:40 Comment on devient directeur général d'une marque, être merchandiser, communicant et savoir mener une équipe 40:20 En quoi l'écosystème de la mode a changé depuis 10 ans 45:00 Les réflexes qu'il faut avoir quand on s'attelle à la production 46:00 C'est quoi les points communs des gens qui arrivent à rester longtemps sur le haut de la vague 47:00 Comment il se nourrit, à quoi ressemblent ses journées, son moteur, conseils aux entrepreneurs 53:00 Qui il aimerait entendre dans ce podcast KEY LEARNINGS "J'ai commencé en faisant des cartons, et c'est comme ça qu'on apprend. C'est en offrant qu'on peut recevoir." "L'idée chez Lemaire était très simple, on avait un super propos de marque, un très bel ADN, il fallait juste ouvrir le propos et le rendre plus intuitif pour à la fois le client whole sale et pour le client final. Du coup c'est comme ça que l'on a traité toute cette partie-là, en étant ouvert, en disant « on a un trésor mais montrons-le ». Le propos c'était de faire un vêtement du quotidien, évolutif pour un homme et une femme et qui permettait aux gens d'appréhender la réalité en étant beau." "Lemaire c'est une marque épistolaire, donc j'ai écrit des courriers, où j'expliquais le propos de la marque, qui on était, pourquoi. » "Humainement le plus important c'est l'adhésion, tout ce qui compte c est que le projet soit suffisamment viable et compréhensible pour que l'ensemble des équipes puissent l'intégrer et le mener à leur échelle pour qu'il existe." "Il faut faire en sorte que des gens aient envie de travailler ensemble et dans une direction claire. ""Le ciment d'une boîte c'est donner envie." "Finalement, la marque c'est qu'on est une boîte de création, oui mais on est ouvert sur l'extérieur. C'est le point central de ma réflexion, quand j'anime une marque, c'est de faire en sorte qu'elle s'ouvre et qu'elle donne envie" "Ce qu'il faut, c'est de donner envie d'être dans la team/ la crew de la marque" "Finalement que l'on soit dans un groupe ou seul, on doit juste convaincre des gens, ce n'est que ça notre métier." "Le parfum sans mode ne peut pas vivre, il est essentiel pour le parfum d'avoir une impulsion de la mode et notamment de son directeur artistique." « Paco Rabanne c'est une marque éclectique, jeune, qui a envie d'être differente et qui s'adresse à une cliente qui a envie d'être différente et qui, elle aussi, peut être éclectique et avoir différentes personnalités. C'est pour ça que l'objet ici, c'était de concilier un ADN très fort de marque avec une réalité de vie qui est forcément pas en adéquation avec l'époque où Paco Rabanne a fait ses 12 robes importables. Le motto c'est « dare to be different. » "Avant, une marque de mode c'était une proposition créative, avec des boutiques et on inondait le marché, et si on avait de la maroquinerie pour aider c'était super. Aujourd'hui, la marque doit communiquer, avoir une empreinte forte, un message clair, être authentique et dans ses produits et dans sa com." "Aujourd'hui le train de croissance vient de la population de 18 à 40 ans. Elle n'a pas forcément le pouvoir d'achat d'une génération plus mature mais néanmoins, c'est elle qui tire la croissance si on lui donne des produits à acheter. " "Il y a un gros phénomène de zapping. Avant, une marque on pouvait la construire sur des années, il y avait une logique, un développement à la Dries Van Noten sur 25 ans, etc. Aujourd'hui ça devient extrêmement difficile." "C'est ça qu'il faut aujourd'hui c'est de donner envie d'être dans la crew de la marque, parce qu'elle dit vraiment quelque chose auquel on adhère." "Le claim de Jacquemus c'est partager un univers créatif et le faire d'une manière la plus ouverte possible, par des produits ultra bien pensés et avec une vraie logique de partage et de générosité, solaire, marseille, etc, etc. " "Pour rester relevant, pour développer suffisamment de résilience dans le secteur, il faut être d'une curiosité à toute épreuve, il faut sans arrêt avoir envie de découvrir, changer, modifier, et être une sorte de hub d'informations et d'avoir envie de placer la marque dans son écosystème en prenant en compte tout ce qui se passe autour de soi." "C'est dans l'échange et la construction qu'on arrive à créer de la valeur et du coup, un entrepreneur doit créer de la valeur même dans les problèmes. » "Le rêve ça ne s'achète pas, le rêve ça se construit et chacun peut avoir un rêve différent."
