Standing out at Paris Fashion Week has never been harder, yet every house this season found its own way to try. The Spring/Summer 2026 shows in the French capital leaned into emotion, experimentation, and spectacle. Creative directors reinterpreted archives, played with presentation, and used theatrics to make their mark. The result was a week defined by individuality and risk, where each debut reflected a different vision of what modern fashion can be. Let’s take a closer look at this season’s Paris Fashion Week debuts. Dior by Jonathan Anderson – October 1st 2025 Siena: Jonathan Anderson brought his signature volume, architectural silhouettes and playfulness from Loewe’s menswear to Dior’s womenswear for…

Smash or Pass? S/S 2026 MFW Debuts
The Spring/Summer 2026 season felt like a collective reset for fashion. Across Paris and Milan, heritage houses placed their futures in new hands, with creative directors stepping into roles that carried both immense pressure and possibility. The results were varied. Some found strength in restraint, others in spectacle. Let’s take a closer look at this season’s Milan Fashion Week debuts. Gucci by Demna – September 23rd 2025 Stephanie: Demna’s debut collection “La Famiglia” feels like a highlight of Gucci’s best creative moments, an homage to its community, identity and to the previous designer that shaped what it is today.

The Beauty In Flaws
How often would you spend €1,500 on a coat that carries a stain, not by accident, but by design? That question came to me when I discovered HOUSE of ZAZI, a slow fashion label that honours heritage, culture, and the women who give it life. Renowned for its coats crafted from vintage textiles (some even over a hundred years old), ZAZI chooses to embrace each of its unique surface details, from tiny stains to uneven stitching. The brand believes these are not imperfections, but stories woven into the fabric and symbols of each textile’s journey. In a world obsessed with overconsumption and rapidly changing trends, the brand is creating something…

The Armani Legacy
When Giorgio Armani passed away on September 4th at the age of 91, Milan Fashion Week fell unusually quiet. Days later, his house unveiled Pantelleria, his final collection and a calm goodbye to a career defined by understated brilliance. Named after Armani’s beloved island retreat, the collection drew on the tranquil spirit of his getaway. Silhouettes in muted sand and sea tones mirrored Pantelleria’s landscapes and filled Milan’s Pinacoteca di Brera with a sense of serenity. It was more than a show, it was the end of an era – one that raised inevitable questions about who will carry his legacy forward. Roots & Philosophy After completing his military…

BS4F Career Guide: The Role and Future of the Fashion Editor
Fashion editors are hardly the most unheard of or enigmatic figures in fashion; names like Anna Wintour, Suzy Menkes or Carine Roitfeld surely ring a bell. Their roles have been glamorised countlessly on television and through literature. Although The Devil Wears Prada, supposedly a satire of Mrs. Wintour, gives fun beginner’s insight on this career, it isn’t a rigorously accurate depiction. So what exactly is a fashion editor and what comprises the scope of their responsibilities? Fashion editors are the people who oversee the process of imagining and producing content for fashion-specific outlets, traditionally magazines. Editors report to the editor-in-chief; the highest-placed and most powerful editor of a publication. Their…

Your go-to guide for a career in the fashion industry: Human Resources
We have all heard about the infamous HR departments, but do we actually know their role and importance within fashion companies? Let’s face it: Human Resources is one of those areas of business that is often outshined by the glamorous money-making machines of finance or technology. In fact, however, it is all of those Human Resources departments that are responsible for selecting, recruiting, and developing this promising talent, as well as maintaining relationships within the firm. This is no different for the fashion industry. In fact, it might be even more important for Fashion and Luxury over any other industry, simply because the growth within the sector is almost fully…

Your go-to guide for a career in the fashion industry: Fashion Buying
We often hear of fashion buying being named as one of the most prestigious and sought-after positions in the industry. But do we actually know what fashion buying is? Coated with the allure of mystery, fashion show invites and samples, fashion buying is not one uniform profession described as choice of what department stores will offer during a given season. It is in fact a very complex career choice, which requires not only interest in fashion, but also business acumen, analytical skills, and most importantly, creativity. Although the tasks of a fashion buyer also include monitoring stock and fashion forecasts, or researching the market, it is the understanding of art…

Your go-to guide for a career in luxury
Fashion out of all luxury sectors seems to be the most underestimated business by the general public. Both in terms of its complexity, as well as the importance of the processes occurring in the businesses for the market. The origins of this assumption are plenty. However, one and most probable one, is the fact that the world of fashion has seen a rapid evolution. A change that transformed it from a world of necessary addition and symbol of social status to a multibillion dollar business. This transformation that has been steadily occurring over the last hundred years, has also carried with itself the evolution of the job market and the…

A career in the fashion industry: Fashion Law
Many times when we think of fashion, we do not immediately associate legal studies with it. Fashion Law, however, has been emerging as a branch of its own over the last decade. Although still a novelty, Fashion Law deals with complex issues that do not only touch upon Intellectual Property Law. In fact, the main requirement is versatility, which implies a background in licensing, entrepreneurship, sustainability, distribution, labor regulation, employment, corporate, contract, international or even real estate law, just to name a few. A legal background, which includes a mandatory law degree, is however, not the only requirement. In fact, it is the interest in the industry that distinguishes a…
