Alessandro Michele Makes His Valentino Runway Debut!

Va-va-Valentino! Alessandro Michele held his first fashion show as Valentino’s creative director on Sunday, bringing his signature eclectic glamour back to the runway. Held at Paris Fashion Week, the co-ed show was filled with nods to ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s dressing. However, Valentino’s own house codes were also seen throughout—including pops of Valentino red across shoes, dresses, and tights, ladylike bows, and “V” logos interpreted as embroidery and swirling monograms. The highly awaited reveal followed Michele’s appointment at Valentino this March, with his 171-look Cruise 2025 collection launching in an online lookbook in July. What did you think?

Off-White Changes Hands From LVMH To Bluestar Alliance

Extra, extra! Off-White‘s ownership has changed hands from LVMH to Bluestar Alliance, according to Business of Fashion. The luxury streetwear brand founded by the late Virgil Abloh, which first launched in 2013, was sold to Bluestar for an unspecified sum. Previously, LVMH acquired a 60% stake in Off-White LLC in 2021—the same year as Abloh’s passing. The brand later appointed Ib Kamara as its new creative director in 2022, and recently made its American runway debut at New York Fashion Week in September. How the label will change under Bluestar’s ownership remains to be seen—though it certainly adds an edge to the company’s portfolio of brands, which includes Bebe, Scotch & Soda, and Tahari.
