The Luxury Fashion Rundown: Paris Fashion Week Shows, Chanel Mania, And Trends to Watch
Let's Get DressedShow Notes
Paris Fashion Week just wrapped and the fashion industry feels like it’s at a turning point.
I sit down with friend of the show and fashion editor-at-large at 032c, Brenda Weischer, to break down the biggest moments from the season - from Chanel’s viral shoes to Tom Ford’s standout show, and the collections that sparked the most conversation across the industry.
In this conversation, we get into: The shows that defined Paris Fashion Week this season Why Chanel might have quietly won fashion month The runway moments everyone is talking about right now The collections that felt exciting — and the ones that fell flat Why luxury fashion prices are reaching a breaking point How fashion houses balance creativity with pressure to sell The debate around what “sexy” means in fashion today How creators and commentators are reshaping fashion coverage What actually happens behind the scenes at fashion shows And how to take runway inspiration and translate it into your real wardrobe

Fresh off the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, I'm sitting on my closet floor (still in full glam!) to unpack everything that went down. From Kylie Jenner's $50 million Fantasy Bra and the return of the OG Angels to the incredible performances, surprise celebrity sightings, and the moments that made me emotional, we're getting into it all.
Is your wardrobe a want, a need, or an investment? Haley Sacks, aka Mrs. Dow Jones, makes the case that the clothes are never the investment. The investment is you in the clothes.
If you've ever wanted to channel your inner maximalist but didn't know where to start, this episode is for you.
I'm back with another September AMA episode, and this one is packed. We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner. We also get into how to keep your clothes shed-free if you live with a dog, the best coats and jackets to buy for fall (starting with the perfect ME+EM black jacket everyone needs), the designer canvas tote that isn't Dior, and what to wear on a date night.
Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard.
