Moschino FW24: A Gothic Marie Antoinette Fantasy

From the opening looks—structured tailoring with exposed basting stitches and needles intact—Appiolaza set the tone for a collection obsessed with process. A nod to Moschino’s iconic 1992 Mannequin dress, these garments blurred the lines between atelier and runway, honoring the art of making clothes while delivering spectacle. The theme continued with dressmaker-dummy tunics, floral dresses suspended from the midriff, and collaged garments assembled from disparate textiles. It was a mix of old-world luxury and DIY rebellion, proving that eccentricity and authenticity can coexist.

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2025: Lorenzo Serafini’s Dreamy Debut

Stepping into the legacy of an icon is no small feat, but Lorenzo Serafini embraced the challenge with grace, presenting a debut collection that honored Alberta Ferretti’s romantic DNA while infusing it with his own contemporary sensibilities. Held at the historic Palazzo Donizetti, a venue deeply intertwined with Ferretti’s past, the show was an evocative display of heritage and modernity coalescing into something truly breathtaking.

Serafini, who confessed to feeling "more than anything!" nervous when we spoke to him in his showroom after the show, delivered a collection that was anything but uncertain. He stayed true to the house’s classic codes—flowing, sheer fabrics in ethereal silhouettes—while incorporating fresh, modern elements, like intricate beading reminiscent of Prada’s signature embellishments. The result was a harmonious dialogue between past and future, proving that Serafini not only understands Ferretti’s legacy but is also ready to write its next chapter.

From the first look, it was clear that this was a collection built on movement and emotion. Sheer chiffon cascaded effortlessly, while soft tailoring wrapped around the body with sensual ease. Delicate beading, layered cashmere, and billowy forms defined the lineup, evoking a sense of effortless sophistication. It was an ode to romance—one that felt airy, enchanting, and whimsical, yet undeniably modern.

Seated around elegant bistro tables, sipping coffee and nibbling on delicate bites, the atmosphere was as effortlessly chic as the collection itself. It was a setting that perfectly complemented Beccaria’s vision—where romance meets modern-day sophistication, and every detail feels considered yet effortless.

Stitched in the Stars: My Journey Through Dior Haute Couture

Imagine standing amidst a flurry of expert hands, each holding delicate fabric, pins, or sketches, meticulously crafting your wedding gown around you—it's a Cinderella moment, except the fairy godmothers are the esteemed artisans of Dior Haute Couture. From that first measurement to the final stitch, the couture process at Dior is not merely fashion; it’s wearable art woven into the very fabric of history.

Four years ago, I started The Styled by Collective after a decade selling enterprise security software. Fashion had always been my passion, a source of creativity and intuitive expression. Yet, I never dreamed my little passion project would lead to attending couture shows, let alone collaborating with one of the world's most iconic fashion houses. It felt poignantly symbolic that as my professional dreams came true, I found my soulmate, Deven—someone who breathes life into my dreams, making them brighter and more real.

Join me as I share my personal Haute Couture journey, intertwined with the enchanting heritage of Dior.

Khaite Fall 2025 – Cinematic, Sumptuous, and Unapologetically Chic

Catherine Holstein has mastered the art of making women feel powerful, sensual, and effortlessly cool—without ever trying too hard. For Fall 2025, she leaned into the question: What if David Lynch remade a Merchant Ivory film? A collision of edge and romance, rawness and refinement.

The Park Avenue Armory set the stage for a collection that felt opulent yet grounded, with a golden circular runway (a nod to The Wizard of Oz, Lynch’s favorite film). The looks were a study in contrasts: undone corsetry paired with slouchy dark-rinse denim, oversized leather jackets softened by fur-trimmed collars, and voluminous outerwear that could carry you from the school run to a black-tie affair with ease.
