From September 11 to 16, New York buzzed with its familiar rhythm: taxis rushing past street photographers, editors sprinting between downtown warehouses and uptown rooftops, and a front row where legacy met the next wave. Expectations ran high, especially with Michael Kors opening the week, anchoring the calendar with his timeless American vision. But this season's New York Fashion Week wasn't just about nostalgia or star power but about storytelling. What were the narratives that designers, celebrities, and even street style rebels carved into the cityscape?

Regarding fashion innovators, few names resonate as powerfully as Raf Simons. Emerging from the quiet streets of Belgium, he redefined what it means to be a designer by blending raw youth culture with refined high fashion. From punk and skateboarding to sleek minimalism and conceptual art, Raf’s work has always been a fearless exploration of identity and rebellion. Over the decades, he has reshaped some of the most iconic fashion houses in the world, leaving a mark that goes far beyond clothes. This blog takes you through the journey of Raf Simons: a visionary who challenged norms and forever changed the way we see style

When Vogue's September issue landed in 2012, it was a literal doorstop. 916 pages with Lady Gaga on the cover, the heft of glossy paper echoing the weight of cultural power. Thirteen years later, the September story looks entirely different. Emma Stone fronts the 2025 package, but the magazine is no longer bound to page count. Instead, it is built around a couture-inspired capsule by Nicolas Ghesquière, photographed by Jamie Hawkesworth, and extended into films, podcasts, and behind-the-scenes reels. The September issue still exists, but its power is no longer measured by how high it stacks on the coffee table.

The summer sun beats down on a packed Wimbledon and US Open crowd. Crisp whites glimmer on the court as players serve with precise elegance, while fashion editors discreetly note the audience’s outfits. Straw hats, pleated skirts, and pastel dresses float among the spectators, mingling tradition with modern flair. But beyond the matches, a question lingers: how did tennis, a sport steeped in etiquette and history, transform into a significant force in seasonal fashion? From Serena Williams’ bold statement ensembles with Puma to Rafael Nadal’s sleek Nike collaborations, the sport has become a stage for athletic performance and sartorial influence. Tennis courts are now as much about looks as they are about points, inspiring collections that crossover into everyday wardrobes.

After a brief pause, the industry reminded us why we watch, read, and follow every move. From awards honoring iconic women to groundbreaking collaborations, there is a pulse that keeps the world of style exciting and unpredictable.
