The Paris Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 collections just wrapped last week, so what better time than now to do another edition of 'The Last Word' for The Manic Metallic Podcast?

In these episodes of 'The Last Word', host Liberty Imhoff gives her take on the shows and discusses her takeaways and the role that these shows are currently playing in the realm of fashion.

Not every show is covered, and this is not a play-by-play, but many shows are brought up.

This episode has the following:

• Two questions that people tend to ask when questioning the necessity of the Haute Couture shows, and her answer to those questions
• Her take on the Paris Haute Couture SS26 shows: who did well, who didn’t, and why these shows matter
• Her belief in the talent of the fashion industry’s designers
