The countdown begins ! The third edition of Vogue World, the giant fashion show organized by Vogue, will take place in France next summer. Here’s everything you need to know about the event.

What is Vogue World?

In 2022 and in order to give a boost to the fashion industry after the Covid crisis, Condé Nast and Vogue are embarking on the Vogue World adventure. The project ? Organize a unifying event in the form of a giant fashion show. On September 12, 2022, Vogue inaugurated Vogue World: New York on Thirteenth Avenue with a show which opened with the appearance of Serena Williams. What followed was a parade of more than 110 models and other residents of the Big Apple, including a dancing parade, a crowd of marathon runners and a performance by Lil Nas X.

Building on this success, Vogue wanted to repeat the experience last year with a 2023 edition in England. On September 14, Vogue came to London’s Meatpacking District with a theatrical production encompassing the best of British culture and fashion. From Stormzy to Ian McKellen, including Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Naomi Campbell and even Victoria Beckham, Vogue World: London brought together star models, English artists and fashion designers for an exceptional evening at the Theater Royal Drury Lane.

When and where will Vogue World Paris take place?

The next stage of Vogue World will take place on Sunday June 23 on Place Vendôme in the Ier district in the heart of Paris.

“If Vogue World: New York was a street fair and Vogue Words: London, a glamorous evening at the theater, Paris will be a kind of opening ceremony, one that celebrates 100 years of fashion and sport, as well as this extraordinary city” , confided Anna Wintour, Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast, and Global Editorial Director of Vogue, today in front of the press inside the Ritz Paris.

Ronaldinho ignites Paris Fashion Week with a surprise show at Kidsuper


At 43, Ronaldinho made his comeback this Saturday afternoon. However, it was not on the turf of a stadium that the Brazilian football star was noticed, but during a fashion show, that of the American Colm Dillane which was held in the post- noon in Paris on the sidelines of Paris Fashion Week dedicated to the fall-winter 2024-2025 men’s collections. Via his label Kidsuper founded in 2018, the New York cool kids designer wanted to pay tribute to Brazil’s world champion (in 2002) by inviting him to walk in his very last fall-winter fashion show.

A few seconds before the show ended and to the surprise of the guests, the living legend of international football appeared in a huge beige faux fur coat, enhanced with a set of printed blue denim, slightly tinted glasses on the nose. Ronaldinho, smiling and animated by a pumped-up audience, even gave different looks as a greeting. “Come on, get up, I managed to bring Ronaldinho back for a Kidsuper fashion show,” added Colm Dillane at the end of the show, visibly happy and proud to have brought his idol. Ronaldinho’s presence was the high point of a transportive show, which mixed various performances: violinists playing live the soundtrack of the parade or classical dancers performing grand prix jumps on the podium.

“The idea of ​​a young person who believes that anything is possible was and is the basis of KidSuper,” Colm Dillane said of Kidsuper. A statement that seemed to take on a particular flavor today. The name Kidsuper, a nod to schoolboys who don’t care about anything except what they are passionate about, also took on a special meaning thanks to the presence of Ronaldinho. At Kidsuper, the joy and good humor are palpable and communicative: “I really believe that being passionate about what you do has a ripple effect on people. Kidsuper is the absence of limits, it is giving free rein to one’s creativity by drawing inspiration from the intrepid spirit of youth. We are still true to our roots: my art, football and the energy of New York City,” Colm Dillane told me.

An eclectic collection including pieces in collaboration with the NBA or Canada Goose

In his new winter wardrobe, the American explored the concept of string theory. “A theory which assumes that the world is made of tiny vibrating strings in the form of atoms, electrons and quarks,” said a memo to the show, “written by (Colm Dillane’s) father.” Even on the podium, the artistic director surfs on the famous (but never proven) string theory like this final look in which the black knitted jacket unraveled live as the model advanced, preceded by long threads blacks stretched. On the decor side, the ceiling of the old post office of the 9the arrondissement, where the parade was held, was strewn with long white knitting threads.

Generally speaking, the rest of the Kidsuper locker room was nonetheless without any notable surprises. Colors and attention to prints remain the main signature of the American, who, it seems, has taken a liking to leather bags carried by hand and available in all formats since his time as co-director of Louis Vuitton in January 2023, during this same men’s fashion week. The few new additions to the collection included pieces in collaboration with Canada Goose – down jackets – or the NBA basketball team, the Brooklyn Nets – leather bombers. “We are going to inaugurate our headquarters in Brooklyn, a big step forward for us. It will be a mix between a Kidsuper store, cafe, art gallery, recording studio and much more. We poured our hearts into this project last year, and seeing it come to life is going to be extraordinary,” concluded the artistic director.

Men’s ballet flats will soon be everywhere according to the latest Dior Men fashion show


At Dior Men, Kim Jones proved how much of a fashion jack of all trades he is. During his fall-winter 2024-2025 fashion show which was held early in the afternoon in the courtyard of the École Militaire, the British designer at the head of Dior Men unveiled a wardrobe with multiple faces, inspired in particular by ballet and dance in general. Kim Jones, a man with a voracious and eclectic culture, paid tribute to his uncle Colin Jones, a ballet dancer in the 1950s.

To music from Sergei Prokofiev’s ballet, Romeo and Juliet (1935), the Dior Men fashion show thus unveiled a contained collection, high couture – the models were literally raised above the public during the final tableau – and worked from the signature uniform of the dancer of ballet. From the leotard to the dancing shoe, Kim Jones diverts the wardrobe of the little opera rats, while focusing on the pieces which have, until now, been the heydays of Dior’s men’s wardrobe.

The ballerina, a new fashion essential?

The bags, for example, are visible throughout the collection: the small functional sizes in blue crocodile-effect leather, or even the textured white backpacks set with hand-drawn patterns. But, and this is more surprising from Kim Jones for Dior Men, the real UFOs of the show are the ballerinas present almost everywhere throughout the collection, worn most often with shorts and large pulled-up socks.

Available in almost all sizes, the Dior men’s ballerina by Kim Jones is available in leather, suede, and in beige or black. The more than obvious inspiration? The dance shoe. After the ballerinas signed The Row, Celine or Alaïa, the emblematic shoe of Y2K fashion, which was for a long time one of the neglected ones of fashion, is undoubtedly back in 2024. Regardless of the gender this time, style-savvy men will now walk flat like their female counterparts. Not sure, however, that the street is ready to adopt the masculine ballerina.

Jeanne Friot establishes herself as the worthy heir of Vivienne Westwood at Paris Fashion Week


At Paris Fashion Week, certain shows sometimes have particular symbolism. This was the case this Wednesday evening for Jeanne Friot’s show. The Parisian designer had taken over the Grand Rex club, in the basement of the emblematic Parisian cinema, to present her fall-winter 2024-2025 collection entitled “Coming out”.

After several presentations via the incubator for emerging designers SPHERE – attached to the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode –, Jeanne Friot inaugurated her very first fashion show outside the Palais de Tokyo in a setting that reflects her image: punk and underground. The few guests who came to support the 29-year-old Parisian attended an invigorating show, even transported, and punctuated by surprises such as the presence on the podium of the host Daphné Burki in a rigid corset dress riddled with belts, or of the DJ Sara Zinger is responsible for putting the music to the show.

“I do fashion to talk about the deconstructions that I am experiencing as a lesbian woman,” Jeanne Friot told me during our first meeting last February. And we can say that, within the framework of this fourth collection, this was particularly seen and heard – the final music of the show was notably “All The Things She Said”, the lesbian anthem from the group tATu Celle qui s ‘in line with Vivienne Westwood has once again paid tribute to the legendary British designer thanks to a strong and committed collection, inspired by her own personal love story: “The song ‘Loveher’ by Romy made me want to talk about my love story with my wife and to tell a lesbian story through a collection,” she explained to me again.

“I wanted to rework the lesbian imaginaries of butch and fem through a collection.”

Jeanne Friot

This new fall wardrobe, totally gerderfluid, gave pride of place to shades of purple, the color of the lesbian flag and the chromatic red thread of the collection. After the scarlet red of her previous winter collection “Red Warriors”, Jeanne Friot this time opted for a more versatile wardrobe, less spectacular and very controlled despite its apparent carelessness. Hand-painted jacket and wide trouser sets, large brown faux fur coats or colorful trouser skirts… The collection is deliberately eclectic, drawing on all styles, which end up blending together in the most natural way.

“I wanted to show that when you fall in love with someone the locker rooms split to create a third locker room. This collection is two different wardrobes coming together,” explained Jeanne Friot. We of course found in this collection the Jeanne Friot touch like the tartan or the pants set with feathers. “I also wanted to rework the lesbian imaginaries of the butch and the fem. I wondered if these stereotypes were still valid today and how we could bring them up to date. And above all how they could shine through clothes,” summarized Jeanne Friot.
