It’s been an unprecedented year in fashion. 16 designers rebooted 15 labels in September causing one of the biggest shakeups in fashion history, Labubus took over the world, and Kendrick Lamar’s Celine flared jeans stirred up the discourse.

Today on the show, we invited Virginia Smith, Vogue’s Global Head of Fashion Network, and Laia Garcia-Furtado, Senior Fashion News Editor at Vogue Runway, to break down all the biggest moments from a massive year in fashion.

“Awar closing the Chanel show was my fashion moment of the year because it encapsulated so many great things,” Smith said. “It was really something I have not witnessed very many times in my very long career of attending shows.”

Another major collection was Dario Vitale’s debut at Versace. Vitale was our reader’s 3rd favorite designer of the year, after Blazy at Chanel and Jonathan Anderson at Dior.

“Immediately I saw the show and thought, “this is how I want to dress.” said Garcia-Furtado. “As soon as the show ended, I went on The RealReal and bought a pair of Versus jeans within minutes.”

Plus, tune in to hear what our editors are looking forward to in 2026.
