Get ready for a fashion-filled journey as we dive into the most iconic moments of 2025! This year, the fashion industry witnessed an extraordinary upheaval. An incredible 16 designers took on the challenge of rebooting 15 iconic labels, creating one of the most significant shifts in fashion history. But that's not all; the world went crazy for Labubus, and Kendrick Lamar's Celine jeans sparked intense debates.
On this week's episode of The Run-Through, we're thrilled to have Virginia Smith, the global head of Vogue's Fashion Network, and Laia Garcia-Furtado, senior fashion news editor at Vogue Runway, as our guests. Together, they'll unravel the threads of this massive year in fashion.
Smith shares her fashion moment of the year: "Awar's closing of the Chanel show was truly remarkable. It embodied so much of what makes fashion great, and it's an experience I won't soon forget. As someone who's attended countless shows, this moment stood out as truly special."
Another collection that left a lasting impression was Dario Vitale's debut at Versace. Vitale quickly became a fan favorite, ranking third among our readers' favorite designers for the year, just behind Matthieu Blazy at Chanel and Jonathan Anderson at Dior. Garcia-Furtado gushed, "As soon as I saw Vitale's collection, I knew it was my style. I immediately went online and purchased a pair of Versus jeans from The RealReal."
