The final Giorgio Armani fashion show in Milan, held at the Pinacoteca di Brera, served as a tribute to the late designer, featuring models from his past shows and attended by celebrities like Cate Blanchett, Glenn Close, and Richard Gere. The collection, inspired by Northern Italy and Pantelleria, showcased classic and glittering designs, ending with a dress featuring Armani's face, and was followed by an exhibition honoring his legacy. The event marked the close of Milan Fashion Week and was attended by notable figures including Anna Wintour and film stars.
Sarah Burton debuts her final collection as Creative Director of Alexander McQueen during Paris Fashion Week, showcasing her unique style and leaving a lasting impression. Naomi Campbell, a longtime collaborator with McQueen, walked the runway in a Burton-made gown, adding to the emotional atmosphere. Burton announced her departure from the fashion house earlier this month, with no official reason given. Her career has been filled with highlights, including designing Kate Middleton's wedding dress in 2011.
The family of fashion designer Katie Gallagher, who was found dead in her Manhattan apartment last year, has launched a fundraiser to complete her final collection. Gallagher's death was ruled a homicide by the medical examiner's office, and her family hopes to use the funds raised to celebrate her life and work later this year in New York City. They also aspire to start a foundation in her name to support future projects and initiatives that will preserve her legacy and help other artists achieve their goals. The fundraiser has raised over $30,000 with a $50,000 goal.
