From runway to retail
If one thing gets me through the week, it’s knowing that the shows on the international fashion calendar are that little bit closer. By Nina Tucker.
Paris Fashion Week in early March provided all the newness and moments to love, keeping me refreshed and inspired before the Met Gala delivers another dose in May. From beautiful chaos of colour on the runway to bold, ambiguous “fashion for fashion’s sake” street style according to Vogue, a clear synergy emerged from runway to retail. Collections presented a renewed spirit and sense of excitement and originality – a feeling that reflects the shift towards creative dressing we’re seeing more often at home.
On the fabric front, faux fur and leather become the brace against cold weather, while delicate sheer materials steal attention underneath. Silhouettes move with the body, and comfort comes first.
Style icons Kate Moss and Katie Holmes – known to create fashion frenzies and sell out a garment after just one sighting – sported the season-defining butter yellow shade amidst Paris Fashion Week.
Katie wore a lemon Zimmermann jacket and pants to the brand’s Fall 2025 presentation, colour-blocking the set with a chocolate brown bodysuit. Kate playfully sandwiched a billowy butter blouse between black pants and sunglasses to build an effortlessly chic errand ensemble. Sarah Burton heralded yellow in her Givenchy debut, while collections from Haider Ackermann’s Tom Ford and Stella McCartney showcased yellow evening gowns.
The melt-in-your-mouth hue was just one of many splashed across shows, presentations, and the streets, with bright reds and greens mingling between favourite autumnal hues such as plum, charcoal, and baby blue.
As these elements continue to trickle into local stores, one thing is sure: Canterbury’s colder weather invites moody dressing days ahead, but we’re not hibernating our bright, colourful pieces yet.
