London Fashion Week celebrates its 40th anniversary with 44 shows and 15 presentations, featuring designers like Simone Rocha, J.W. Anderson, and Marques Almeida. The event showcases whimsical and experimental designs, with Burberry's Daniel Lee closing the season. Notable appearances include Central Saint Martins alums Amber W. Smith and Susan Fang, as well as LVMH prize semi-finalist Paolo Carzana. Key highlights include Simone Rocha's triumphant return to London with her ready-to-wear show and the avant-garde designs of young talents.
Kylie Jenner made a stunning entrance at the Jean Paul Gaultier x Simone Rocha show during Paris Haute Couture Week, wearing a sheer dress and corset that combined signature elements from both brands, along with translucent platform heels from the new collection, showcasing an ethereal and elegant look.
Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas attended the 2023 Met Gala, with Billie wearing a sleeveless black Simone Rocha creation featuring a waist-cinching corset and coordinating opera gloves. The event's theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, which has sparked controversy due to Lagerfeld's offensive remarks in the past. The MET Gala is a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute and is known for its glitzy and over-the-top red carpet.
