Lauren is joined by Interview editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg to discuss the best of the season’s shows, starting with Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein in New York all the way up to Prada in Milan and Balenciaga, Miu Miu, and Saint Laurent in Paris. They discuss corporate cosplay and vintage replicas on the runways, why the state of the world is making people want to wear suits again, and then… they are interrupted by the announcement that Demna is the new creative director of Gucci, just hours after Dario Vitale was announced at Versace.
