Louis Vuitton

Au revoir, fashion month! Louis Vuitton was back to the closing spot on the schedule this season for a celebration of creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s 10-year anniversary at the helm of the brand. It was a nostalgic show, with cheeky callouts to many of his previous collections, plus lots of new ideas to bring fashion ever forward. Read my full review here.—Kevin LeBlanc, fashion associate

Miu Miu

Are skinny jeans...back? That was one of the questions posed by Miuccia Prada in her latest showing for Miu Miu. This season, in lieu of creating viral trends (hello, micro miniskirt), the consummate creative honed in on the essence of the brand with maximalist looks made to stand out.

Chanel

Everything in Chanel’s fall/winter 2024 collection was wearable, and when you consider newsboy caps and wide-brimmed hats being integrated into your day-to-day wardrobe, that’s saying quiet a lot. The presentation kicked off with an Inez and Vinoodh-directed short film starring house ambassadors Penélope Cruz and Brad Pitt, set against a soundtrack entirely by Air, and featured Gigi Hadid, Quannah Chasinghorse, and model-on-the-rise Angelina Kendall on the runway, with Blackpink’s Jennie and Naomi Campbell holding court in the front row. Masculine-inspired shearling coats commingled with easy cardigan sets and denim to make welcome additions to any closet. Read our full review here.—Claire Stern, digital director

Coperni

All eyes might’ve been on Coperni’s latest viral moment (in case you missed it, its new swipe bag is made of 99 percent air and 1 percent glass), but the collection itself was an exploration that felt out of this world. It was space-age meets modern-day, akin to a UFO landing on earth, with metallic jackets, foil dresses, and rocket-ship button-embellishments. Not immune to the trends of this planet, legs were all the rage, with ultra-shiny, almost iridescent tights worn under what can only be described as workwear bodysuits: a trench coat, a leather bomber, and an astronaut’s suit made skimpy. Other pieces in the collection might not have been as obviously trendy, but they were just as interesting. Faux fur coats dipped in blue and green paint, slinky draped jersey dresses, sheer white paneled suits and gowns, and exquisitely patchworked deadstock leather suits gave the assortment a depth outside of the obvious theme, while still maintaining the show’s other-ness. These pieces definitely aren’t all air and no substance, but rather remain wearable and cool for the right customer.—Madison Rexroat, fashion & accessories assistant

Sacai

Is it a jacket? Is it a dress? Who cares! Chitose Abe has been splicing and dicing the daily wardrobe for years at Sacai, and this collection fused more pieces together than you can count on one hand. A flight jacket front reveals a suit jacket back, with quilted sleeves on the side. It’s as if the woman got dressed in the dark, threw on what her hands felt, and ended up in three different fabrics. With knee-highs elongating the silhouette, you almost don’t need pants. And with the hybrid coat jacket-dresses, you only need to find one piece in your wardrobe when getting dressed. That’s the Sacai way, after all.—Kevin LeBlanc, fashion associate

Marine Serre

To address the elephant in the room, no, that wasn’t in fact Kate Moss—just a mind-bending lookalike. But, yes, that was the real Winnie Harlow you saw on the catwalk for Marine Serre’s newest collection. Prepare for a resurgence of the designer’s crescent moon print as it’s back in a variety of new interpretations, including on bags, a leather jacket, and even a baby carrier. Apart from that motif, Serre had fun playing with patchwork and prints. Python alternated with laces, and one hooded dress was constructed out of stitched together sweatsuits. Some looks had a nostalgic, Elle Woods-esque vibe to them, like fur-trimmed tops and a mini tube dress with a bubble skirt. The few non-patterned looks had just as much of an impact, such as a navy midi skirt suit. The details—like funky charm jewelry and one model pushing a grocery cart—really livened up the show, as did the reusable grocery bags as show invites.—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

Zimmermann

“I love supporting my friends!” Olivia Palermo tells ELLE.com with a big smile on her face ahead of Zimmermann’s fall/winter 2024 at the Pavillon Cambon Capucines, where models walked the carpeted runway flanked by marble columns. She was referring, of course, to Australian designer Nicky Zimmermann, one half of the creative brains behind the eponymous label. This season, she culled inspiration from fashion illustrations—specifically vintage drawings from the 1920s, with wallpaper prints, fringed draping, and lace-chiffon dresses. Pops of leopard could be seen throughout on leggings, scarves, and tops, along with the brand’s signature wide-leg denim and tailored outerwear pieces. Some intriguing fabrics, like a fluffy tube dress with embellished straps, were thrown into the mix to keep things feeling current.—Claire Stern, digital director
