Louis Vuitton AW22 collection in photos

Nicolas Ghesquière presents a collection that highlights nostalgia and the youth for AW22. From striped rugby shirts and oversized shoulders on jackets and blazers to men’s ties and wide-leg trousers, each look modelled down the runway displayed a borrowed-from-the-boys aesthetic. “The impermanence and beautiful volatility of adolescence. Testing. Trying. Playing. Knowing. Yearning. Desiring... Wanting it all. Without restrictions. Having the world at your feet,” he says of the collection. Click through to see the entire collection!

Creative Director Jonathan Anderson balances the natural vs extraordinary for AW22. With the aim of creating fashion that entices a reaction, textural fabrics such as leather felt, latex, tweed, knit, silk resin and 3D-printed fibres were used in this surrealist-inspired collection. Swipe through to see all the intricate details—from the mould of luscious lips to the balloon inserts in dresses—throughout the entire collection.

While guests sat safely behind a protective glass screen, models walked down the circular runway in a snowstorm wearing pared-down looks with bold silhouettes, hybrid stretch dresses and exaggerated accessories. With this show, Creative Director Demna Gvasalia’s goal was to evoke and represent the hardship and desperation he had gone through as a young refugee in a war-torn country.

Elie Saab AW22 collection in photos

Elie Saab returned to the Paris runways at Palais de Tokyo with an AW22 collection entitled ‘Fearless Grace’, which was as extravagant as it was bold and brave. For his first live ready-to-wear runway since the 2020 Beirut explosion that affected his city, home and atelier, the designer presented an amalgamation of ravishing fabrics and confident lines brought together by a sense of opulence and minimalism inspired by the early aughts.

Valentino AW22 collection in photos

Did anyone say black pink? No, not the K-pop girl group––we’re talking about the colour palette of Pierpaolo Piccioli’s latest collection for Valentino AW22, which was unveiled in a bubblegum-swathed showroom at the Le Carreau du Temple in Paris. This season, the creative director collaborated with Pantone Colour Institute to create a custom pink shade––that we can only describe as a pure dopamine hit––for the ‘Valentino Pink PP’ collection, designed to encourage a moment of reflection. “Pink is rampant everywhere, in a total estrangement that includes the set and that is reiterated by the occasional total black and total white intermissions. Pink as a manifestation of the unconscious and a liberation from the need for realism,” the house said in show notes. See every look in the collection now.

Tod’s AW22 collection in photos

Italian heritage meets continuous evolution: for its AW22 collection, Tod’s looked to the beauty and style in Italian landscapes. Under the creative direction of Walter Chiapponi, these icons of ‘Italian Beauty’ have been reimagined as modern and versatile wardrobe staples that are gender-fluid in concept, yet shapely in silhouette. Voluminous knitwear is soft and sensual to touch, with a bohemian medley of fabric and leather. The warm and neutral hues extend to accessories, where the Di Bag and T Timeless bags are transformed with a modern take on traditional craftsmanship. Below the knees, the laced W.G. ankle boot has likewise been updated with suede elements and sporty, masculine-inspired proportions. Click to see every look!

Sportmax AW22 collection in photos

Dial S for self-empowering, sensuality. Unveiled in a hot pink, club-like corridor, Sportmax's AW22 collection was a manifesto of empowment through a sartorial deconstruction of deeply-engrained fetishist ideals of the femme fatale (albeit through the male gaze). From Lilith to Hitchcockian muse Kim Novak and pin-up star Jessica Rabbits, iconic archetypes on the big screen and throughout pop culture were reconfigured for the birth of new sex symbols. Hourglass jackets, exaggerated shoulders and androgynous minimalism come together through tailored construction and an exploration of the body to form contemporary interpretations of form-fitting looks, awashed in a twilight palette of black, midnight blue, coffee, nude, alongside pops of fuschia and red.
