Everything he did at Chanel was a favorite.
The show started two hours later, to double-check everybody had time to wander around.
It was beyond magical to see thousands of mini flashlights lighting up the catwalk.
The days where fashion was all about beauty and not about product and engagements.
Marc Jacobs fall 2020
It was amazing because it turned out exactly how I pictured it in my head.
It was the first time I felt such intense emotions in my career, making it an unforgettable experience.
That mix of creativity, teamwork, and pure excitement will stay with me forever.
Chanel fall 2018
It was the first runway show I ever saw, and I was just 14 years old.
My admiration for him was already immense, and that show solidified it forever.
The vibrant energy, bold designs, and sheer elegance of that collection left a lasting impact on me.
Y/Project menswear fall 2019
It inspired my own creative journey, reminding me of the power and emotion fashion can evoke.
It was such a spontaneous moment when they all stopped on the runway!!!
Christy, Naomi, and Linda.
Christian Dior Couture spring 2007
The collection was so ethereal and dreamy.
Prada spring 2008
A close-up of the shoes.
I also wish I sawComme des Garcons fall 2005the broken bride collection.
Look 1 from Sabato de Sarno’s debut collection at Gucci, spring 2024
I have always adored the clothes in that show.
I could even say changed me.
It is hard to sum up his remarkable impact.
Atelier Versace fall 1997
He set trends, broke conventions, and reinvented fashion, and himself, countless times.
And he always gave women the perfect combination of sensuality and strength.
Yves Saint Laurent couture spring 2002
Claude Lalanne.
Christy, Naomi, and Linda. Anna Sui spring 1994
Yves Saint Laurent couture spring 2002
Safari.
I have really enjoyed collaborating with my husband and I feel like he makes me do better.
Completely new proportions and cuts, while also feeling nostalgic.
Prada spring 2008
A little Japanese, a little Italian, and, of course, Vaudeville.
Its just what makes me love shows and feel totally intoxicated with fashion.
It makes all of this desperate striving feel worth it when I see a show like that.
A close-up of the shoes.
The other isAlexander McQueen Spring 2001, which was just quite frankly, totally arresting.
While the concept was complex and uncomfortable, the show was exquisite.
The beauty at the end.
Jean Paul Gaultier couture by Simone Rocha spring 2024
You couldnt do a show like that today.
It was so profoundly brave.
This is how you get to really know a designer.
Alexander McQueen, spring 2001
They dont tell you.
When the show ended, everyone was able to shop the market for free, and everyone did!
It really leveled-up the Collina shows, in my opinion.
Comme des Garçons, fall 2005
It really just opened my eyes to new possibilities in fashion.
Miuccia Prada stands in front of the mural by the artist James Jean.
Im still haunted by it.
Look 1 from Alaïa’s fall 2024 collection
Things felt so hopeful and exciting then.
The models made their way through the restaurant interacting with guests seated at the restaurant booths.
BT:For me,our fall 2017 showis the most memorable.
Helmut Lang fall 1994
That collection had two of our most iconic pieces, the Tiffany Bag dress and the American flag dress.
Plaid suiting melts, lapels and shoulder seams extend off the body, necklines unravel.
This collection feels like a reflection on the effects of dysmorphia.
Raf Simons spring 1999
This show was a call for empathy and peace.
A distorted understanding of self can lead to disaster.
What could be more disastrous than war?
John Galliano fall 1994
BT:Not a real designer, but I love the naked show at the end of the moviePret-a-Porter!
We dont do a runway show anymore and that kind of still stands as the last one.
The collection was inspired by the British television showVictoria.
Alaïa spring 2002
It was such an empowering show and Grace had such a mesmerizing presence.
I still think about it to this day!
I was an intern, and watching Vivienne and Andreas create a whole world was mesmerizing.
Tory Burch spring 2024
My own favorite show would have to be spring summer 2015.
It ended with Madonna in a slip dress pushing an antique pram, genius!!
So beautiful and ethereal.
Le Smoking. Yves Saint Laurent couture spring 2002
The runway was in the shape of a spiral with photos being taken once they got to the center.
We didnt think anyone would come because of the weather.
Mike and I were outside in the snow for the whole show trying to keep the models warm.
Claude Lalanne. Yves Saint Laurent couture spring 2002
ME:Outside of our own… something fromThreeASFOUR.
I felt so lucky to help in any capacity.

ME:I dont have an all-time favorite.

What is the most memorable runway show youve ever been involved with?
Marine Serre spring 2020
That season, the creative process was particularly liberating.
Our initial fittings began without any predetermined outcome.
It felt like a celebration in many ways, like defiance in the face of adversity.
Alexander McQueen fall 2009
The energy was electrifying.
That one holds a special place for us.
At that time, we didnt have the instant access to collections in the way that we do now.
Khaite spring 2024
His fusion of mid-century couture with his own deconstructed vision completely blew my mind.
To this day, I believe this collection stands up with the great collections of our time.
LH:Spring 2001 Helmut Lang.
John Galliano fall 1994
To me, this was the center of the universe at the time.
This was the first real show I ever saw in person.
It also ended up being one of Helmuts most iconic moments during this phase of his career.
Alexander McQueen spring 2001
Ill never forget it.
We had some amazing candelabras made by the artistSylvie Macmillan, and beds in our signature pink.
The show was followed by a party, it was a good celebration.
Collina Strada, spring 2020
I started my career in New York City (at Calvin Klein in 1996).
Eventually, after a decade, I referenced how I experienced being young in New York with this collection.

Miuccia Prada stands in front of the mural by the artist James Jean. Spring 2008
Marc worked with Takashi Murakami on the rainbow-hued monogram pattern that we used on bags for the show.
And more than three years after, I still sometimes cant believe that I lived that moment.

Louis Vuitton resort 2018
What is your all-time favorite show by another designer?Its nearly impossible to choose one only.
Ive been mind-blown, influenced, deeply touched by so many collections from the 1960s to today…
But if I really must choose one, it would beHussein Chalayan spring 1998.
Helmut Lang fall 2000
It had a sporty American ease that spoke to me then and still speaks to me now.
It looks just as relevant today.
Two looks from Halstons spring 1975 collection photographed at his iconic mansion.
Vaquera fall 2016
My friends hung lights on the ceiling, and Tom Pecheux and Lauren Philippon did the show for free.
Agencies helped me with models, and my mom baked cookies for the backstage.
The music came from a boombox on the floor, and there was no seating for the audience.
Vaquera fall 2017
It was an incredible, pinch-me moment.
The overwhelming feeling from that show was one of community, family, and love.
I find his work stunning and thought-provoking, continually pushing boundaries.
Undercover spring 2004
My all-time favorite show might be hisBalenciaga fall 2001collection.
It also embodied such an uncompromising vision, a quality I respect even more in retrospect.
The scene was reminiscent of my mothers childhood and memories of youth.
Zero + Maria Cornejo spring 2020
The first womenswear look seen on the Bode fall 2023 runway.
Its a city thats always been so special to me.
The first look from Victoria Beckhams spring 2023 collection.

The whole process was one of the most emotional passages of my life.
Making clothes for people, making clothes to make people happy.
This gives me joy.
The designer and Amy Wesson at the Vivienne Westwood Red Label spring 2000 show
I felt I was suspended in time and space!
Never have expressions merged in such a dramatic and beautiful way.
It did get into my blood and it will stay with me forever.
