For it’s 11th fashion week, the Arab Fashion Council has gone digital, from June 24 to 26. LIVE from Dubai, over the course of three days, 10 shows, 11 designers from Asia, Italy and the Middle East, and, the Beyond the Shows panel discussions, which will air live on the Arab Fashion Week website, this is all being done in partnership with Tiktok Arabia.

Who doesn't love Italy and Puglia at that? DIOR is taking us there for it's 2021 Cruise Show, held on July 22nd for its  audience-free show held behind closed doors. Designed by Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri, the collection will highlight the excellence of this invaluable savoir-faire.

Maison Valentino has presented their new Valentino Garavani Limited Edition Accessories Collection, designed by Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli.

Pierpaolo Piccioli surprised us all at Valentino’s womenswear AW20 show in Paris. Unlike Hedi Slimane, Pierpaolo isn’t predictable, and missing from this collection are his typical volumes and bright colors. This collection is all about tailoring and fluidity- incorporating masculinity into the femininity.

Clare Waight Keller’s AW20 ready-to-wear collection for Givenchy is all about the strong woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. Themed ‘Arthouse Beauty’ with references to the French silver screen and the elusive arthouse heroine, it focuses on abstract musings of the female body in performance art.

Ever the person that can deeply relate to others, womenswear Creative Director, Maria Grazia Chiuri mapped out an atlas of emotions through the prism of her teenage diary for the FW20-21 ready-to-wear collection.

As AW20 Paris Fashion Week is in full swing, Friday night’s coveted spot of shows went to Celine. Creative director, Hedi Slimane took us back to the 70s with oh-so very French and British looks, with hints of American style as well.
