Roger Vivier Collaborates With Maison Lesage for Pièce Unique
Roger Vivier's archives already offer ample inspiration for the brand's creative director Gherardo Felloni, but this season was a double-whammy for his Pièce Unique collection of one-off designs. In collaboration with long-standing house partner Maison Lesage, with which he worked to develop the eight bags and two gilets in the collection this season, he was able to tap the storied embroidery specialist's back catalog for inspiration, as well as its archive of materials and components, making each precious design all the more unique. 'All of these stones don't exist anymore on the market,' Felloni enthused during a presentation. 'For Pièce Unique, they opened the archive and said you can use any quantities that we have.'

A multitude of complex techniques came into play thanks to Lesage's expertise and both companies' archives, with each piece inspired by a specific design from the past and crafted by hand in Italy and France, with Lesage's artisans embroidering directly onto the bags themselves. The tiny, folded and pleated silk organza blossoms stitched onto a background of lilac silk were in reference to a hat in the Lesage archive. Hand-beaded, gold-threaded iterations on green velvet for La Vertueuse came from a vintage cape. On La Passionnée, blossoms were draped and sculpted by hand from silk mousseline or hand-embroidered with tiny beads. L'Ephemere, inspired by a dress in the Lesage archives and developed as both bag and gilet, featured pale colors evoking the fading of time and a combination of silk, muslin and wire embroideries and twists, hand-painted and overlaid with delicate strands of feathers. On La Tendre, hundreds of coral-colored glass beads from the '60s shivered. The buckles and handles for each piece were also crafted by hand and set with semiprecious stones including onyx, citrine and amethyst.

Hailee Steinfeld Embraces Bold Cutouts and Dramatic Bows in Sheer Dress for Tamara Ralph Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris
Hailee Steinfeld sat in the front row for Tamara Ralph's fall 2025 couture collection show during Paris Couture Week on Monday. The 'Sinners' actress turned to one of the designer's previous collections for her fashion week look. Steinfeld wore a dress courtesy of Tamara Ralph's fall 2024 couture collection, which debuted in Paris in June 2024. The dress featured allover sheer fabric embellished with shimmering silver jewels and embroidery throughout, as well as a thigh-high slit at the front along with two bold cutouts — one at the waist and another above the bustline. Black bows adorned the dress at the waistline, bustline and neckline.

She further accessorized with a black clutch. Steinfeld favored a minimalist approach when it came to her jewelry pieces. As for her glam, the actress' hair was slicked back into a tight chignon, and her makeup featured such elements as bold brows and a matte lip. Tamara Ralph's fall 2024 couture collection put an emphasis on romance throughout. There were references to vintage Paris couture designs as well as some Art Deco flair weaved throughout the fall 2024 couture collection. 'Hers was an idealized vision of Paris full of vintage references — the opening pencil dress in houndstooth check was paired with a demure pillbox hat and veil, nodding to the black-and-white imagery of the Nouvelle Vague,' Alex Wynne wrote in WWD's review of the collection. 'Fishtail skirts and peplum jackets had a role to play, as did sweeping necklines and draping to enhance the silhouette.' Wynne noted, however, that the 'all-out romance' of Ralph's collection 'was largely reserved for the final looks, draped pieces in duchesse satin in sugary pink and vivid red, for instance. One had a long train embroidered with a scattering of life-like rose blossoms. Another, in red, had two blossoms aligned with the bust of its sweetheart neckline. The bride carried a bouquet of the handmade pavé-coated metal flowers Ralph is increasingly incorporating into her designs.'

Cardi B Embraces Sculptural Shoulders and Fringe Pearls for Schiaparelli Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris
Cardi B joined celebrity and high-profile attendees for Schiaparelli's fall 2025 couture show during Paris Couture Week on Monday. The Grammy Award-winning rapper opted for sculptural attire, wholly evocative of the couture stylings of the Italian luxury fashion house. The 'Money' rapper's look featured a slimming black dress with a rounded plunging neckline, courtesy of Schiaparelli's spring 2024 couture collection. Atop the bodice of the ensemble, Cardi B's look featured exaggerated shoulders with an elongated construction and a framed silhouette with strings of pearls in a fringe style all over the sculpted piece.

When it came to Cardi's glam, the rapper went old school. Her hair was styled in a blunt bob with a sinuous side part reminiscent of the aesthetic popularized during the 'roaring' 1920s. Her makeup included standout elements like bold brows, dramatically lined eyes and a glossy lip. Cardi posed for photos with a live raven on the steps of the Petit Palais ahead of the show. WWD caught up with the rapper at the show, inquiring about her feelings when posing with the raven. 'I'm not scared of the bird,' the rapper told WWD's Joelle Diderich. 'That's my friend! I control him; we're best friends,' Cardi said. The rapper has a long-standing relationship with Schiaparelli and previously attended the haute couture show in 2023. For the 2023 edition of the haute couture collection show, Cardi wore a similarly extravagant ensemble. Channeling creative director Daniel Roseberry's animal-inspired 2023 collection, Cardi wore a cape covered in wool tendrils, which gave the illusion of black feathers. Upon removing the cape, the rapper revealed a sleek, strapless black dress with gold trim at the neckline and lace-up gold corsetry elements at the back.

Schiaparelli Fall 2025 Couture: Back to the Future
Daniel Roseberry is no stranger to a gear shift. At a time of seismic evolution in the luxury sector, the Schiaparelli designer sent out his most futuristic collection to date — the prelude, he said, to a reset of his creative process amid a flurry of designer changes that promises to reconfigure the competitive landscape next season. It started — as most Schiaparelli couture shows do — with a viral moment. Cardi B, dressed in a black bustier dress with a dramatic raised neckline dripping curtains of fringe, stood in front of the gilded gates of the Petit Palais holding a live black raven. 'I'm not scared of the bird,' she told WWD. 'I control him. We're best friends.'

Was the Gothic bird a harbinger of doom, or simply a reflection of ambient angst? As it happened, Roseberry's fall collection harked back to another chaotic moment in time: the inter-war period when founder Elsa Schiaparelli revolutionized the language of fashion with her Surrealist designs, often created in collaboration with artist friends like Jean Cocteau and Salvador Dalí. Roseberry pulled black-and-white photographs from the archives and transcribed them into an edgy collection where color was stripped away in favor of metallic surface effects. 'There's something about that era that felt mournful and also turbocharged at the same time,' he said backstage after the show, which he titled 'Back to the Future.' Silver sequins glistened on a black jacket with ramrod-straight shoulders and slim leg-of-mutton sleeves, and exploded across a transparent black tulle reproduction of the 'Apollo of Versailles' cape designed in 1938 for U.S. actress and interior designer Elsie de Wolfe — one of the highlights of the brand's museum retrospective in Paris in 2022. While hourglass constructions stuck to the designer's body-conscious playbook, for every bulging hip pad there was a slinky bias-cut gown sliced away to reveal acres of flesh — none more so than a black satin fishtail gown scooped low in the back to reveal a rhinestone-encrusted thong, evoking Tom Ford's famous Gucci G-string. Roseberry leaned into fetish glamour with a black saddle dominatrix bustier, and molded breasts with erect nipples. They appeared on a pearl gray satin body plate with black harness trim and protruded from the back of a red satin corset-laced gown, accessorized with a mechanically pulsating rhinestone necklace shaped like a human heart. With her sleek bun, glossy black lips and silver spike heels, Anasofia Negrutsa, dressed in a silver biker jacket with matador epaulets, appeared like a cross between sci-fi classics 'Blade Runner' and 'Metropolis.' Roseberry said the collection was inspired by a world, and an industry, on the precipice — both then and now. 'I wanted it to feel like a bit of a farewell. We're gonna be restructuring everything after this,' he said. 'I think if you want to change the result, you have to change the process, and I just want to keep pushing forward.' Having dominated the post-pandemic couture scene with his sculptural creations and mastery of red carpet moments, Roseberry is wise to position himself for next season's great reset, when Jonathan Anderson at Dior, Matthieu Blazy at Chanel and Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga will all make their couture debuts. Call it surreal fashion for surreal times. Launch Gallery: Schiaparelli Fall 2025 Couture Best of WWD Windowsen RTW Spring 2022 Louis Shengtao Chen RTW Spring 2022 Vegan Fashion Week Returns to L.A.

Zuhair Murad Resort 2026: Seize the Day (Wear)
For his latest resort collection, Zuhair Murad looked into the light with an expanded daywear range. It was a notable shift for the brand, as Murad put a new focus on introducing more casual and wearable pieces alongside his established eveningwear. More from WWD Hailee Steinfeld Embraces Bold Cutouts and Dramatic Bows in Sheer Dress for Tamara Ralph Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris Hailee Steinfeld Gives Classic Hollywood an Edge in Dior Pumps at Tamara Ralph's Fall 2025 Couture Show Cardi B Embraces Sculptural Shoulders and Fringe Pearls for Schiaparelli Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris The collection, titled 'Scents From Elsewhere,' was inspired by a fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics, particularly the visual richness of Indian palaces, with maharaja-inspired motifs. More than anything, however, the collection expanded Murad's offering with a clear focus on providing more options, including crisp cottons, lace separates, and breezy silk chiffon pieces for his client. He went with simpler cuts, shorter hemlines, and fewer embellishments. Sequined and velvet shorts were replaced with light cotton versions, and silk shantung minidresses offered a subtle sheen without relying on heavy beading. Embroidery appeared more sparingly, such as at the V-neck and cuffs. He also introduced more slim silhouettes, such as pencil skirts and cropped mini trench jackets in white with studded details that added energy without excess. The Lebanese designer said it was in direct response to customer and retailer requests. The simpler designs also allowed for new styling opportunities and underscored a broader push to take the brand into accessories. Following a limited range of evening bags and belts, this season Murad introduced large chunky bracelets, brooches, and new embellished and monogrammed handbag styles designed to work with the cleaner silhouettes. The accessories will be positioned as a potential key growth category. Still, Murad is a red carpet favorite and there was plenty for his celebrity clientele. Here he also responded to demand, noting that stars are still looking for glam but requesting simpler shapes and less bling. He answered with sari-inspired gowns featuring asymmetric draping and jewel-toned embroidery, toned down overall from his established style but still making an impact. Following the recent openings of boutiques in Beirut, Dubai and Qatar, Murad is eyeing opening a daywear-focused store in Paris, aiming for early 2026.
