Ahead of Paris fashion week, Balenciaga creative director Demna has let it be known the house will not seek to create buzz via controversy for its upcoming show, instead focusing on product, heritage and craftsmanship.
After a series of high profile faux pas, from a campaign that featured children, props that included a Supreme Court ruling concerning child pornography, and a relationship with troubled collaborator Ye, also known as Kanye West, who’s anti-semitic remarks attracted a slew of criticism and termination of contracts, Balenciaga, while not exactly pariah status, was certainly outcast after it offered muted apologies before issuing a proper mea culpa.
But like most things in fashion, it took a season for some reflection, some accountability and to deliver a new strategy that had both creative director Demna and CEO Cédric Charbit take public responsibility for the brand’s missteps. Kering is yet to release its Q4 financial report, the period when sales were at the height of the Balenciaga scandal, and the results are likely to show some impact on the brand's hyper growth trajectory.

The dog days of summer are here, and while that means lapping up our time in the sun (with good hats and sun protection obvs), lazy days wearing linen sets and doubling up on the crochet, it also means we are headed to the most exciting time of year for getting dressed: fall. Autumn's crisp temperatures give way to ample opportunities for accessorizing (hello boots and scarves), rich colors and textures, and oh the difference a good jacket or coat could make for an already amazing outfit.
With that comes a chance to play with the trends we saw head down the runway in February. And the 2023 fall fashion trends are nothing to scoff at. Here, 7 of our favorite trends straight from the runways to shop now for Fall 2023.


Sportswear giant Adidas has announced the second release of its leftover Yeezy inventory which is set to drop throughout August across the world.
The announcement comes days after it was reported that the first batch released as part of its previous sale in May had garnered the company 565 million dollars in orders for the unsold products.
Like the one prior, this second drop will also feature products designed and manufactured in 2022, ahead of when the German retailer terminated its contract with Yeezy founder Kanye West.
