Stone turned up at the Mugler show last weekend dressed like the late Manfred Thierry Mugler, working with the house on the stunt and with the blessing of Mugler’s partner. Stone wore a look drawn from Mugler’s personal wardrobe, including one of his brooches. Per usual, it was impeccably achieved. And yet the appearance landed as somewhat misguided. Mugler is a house built partially on provocation, but Mugler, the man, died only a few years ago. Stone arriving with a black veil draped over his head to execute a “reveal” in front of a group of photographers cheapened the feat, and, despite the performance being billed as a homage, it rather felt like an attempt from the brand to hold on to the Mugler legacy by physically inviting him into the space and by too-closely referencing some of his greatest hits.

This time, Samuel opted for white, sporting a silk satin mini-dress with a boat neckline and a layered skirt. She paired it with black Louboutin heels. Source …

In a world of mega brands, the house of Schiaparelli is small but perfectly formed. There are only 10 points of sale worldwide where Schiaparelli clothes can be bought. The size of the business has risen from $6m in 2020 to around $100m today, but Schiaparelli is still small fry compared with other names on the Paris catwalks. However, the Schiaparelli name punches above its weight. An exhibition at London’s V&A museum this year made a strong case for its founder, Elsa Schiaparelli, who collaborated with Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau, as a creative force in the surrealism movement of the 1930s.
