Martine Rose is a designer who has reimagined British luxury with warmth, irreverence and shows rich in real-life characters. She joins Chioma once again on The Run-Through to talk about her latest collection, her show that took place in London this past June, and how she taps into real life communities that inspire her.

PLUS, Chioma brings in British Vogue’s Acting News and Feature’s editor to chat about traveling to Basel, Switzerland for the Euros Final, the mini skirt and shoe trends seen on the streets of London, and their dream dog cover star for the Dogue cover open casting. 

It’s funny. No matter how long we have been on this earth, whether 20 years or 40 years or more, getting dressed when it’s brutally hot and/or humid outside is daunting every time summer rolls around. On this week’s edition of The Run-Through, Nicole Phelps is joined by Vogue Runway’s Laia Garcia-Furtado, who writes the weekly style advice column “Addressed,” and Vogue fashion writer Hannah Jackson to discuss summer fashion. They cover both practical topics (what kind of hand-held fan is the best?) and more controversial ones (shirtless men and flip-flops in the city), and also touch upon the season’s hottest trends, from Gen Z girlies in their short-jorts and cowboy boots, to swimsuits as streetwear, to the multi-purpose power of a silk scarf. Hey, if fashion It-boy Timotheé Chalamet and if Dries Van Noten’s Julian Klausner are both endorsing the look, we are too. Another developing trend? Dressing like a haunted doll—what’s that all about? 

Being a triple threat—writing, directing, and acting—seems to come naturally to the inimitable Eva Victor. With their celebrated feature directorial debut, Sorry, Baby (now in theaters), Eva brings deadpan humor and refreshingly original storytelling to a story about trauma—swiftly establishing them as one of the most exciting emerging talents out there.

On this episode of The Run-Through with Vogue, Eva joins Chloe to talk about the inspirations behind the film (from close friendships to the Vegitalian sandwich at Court Street Grocers); the challenges of directing for the first time; their deep love for cats; and working with expert stylist Danielle Goldberg on their red carpet looks.

But first, Chloe and Chioma dive into Charli XCX’s (not-so-Brat) wedding look, Rihanna’s masterful maternity styling and custom designer looks for her kids, and everything we know so far about the highly anticipated The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The words “icon” and “legend” are thrown around a lot these days, but Norma Kamali has truly had a fabulous career. Her use of unusual materials like sweatpant fabric, stretchy cotton Lycra, and even sleeping bags revolutionized womenswear. And that’s just the beginning.

On this week’s episode of The Run-Through, Kamali shares her wide-ranging thoughts on everything from the stylishness of the ’70s, the flattening effect of social media on personal expression and creativity, why she wants her staff to use AI at work, and the reason she opted not to celebrate her 80th birthday.

The fashion equivalent of the Super Bowl—or maybe the recent FIFA Club World Cup final?—may just have been the auction of Jane Birkin’s original Hermès Birkin bag last Thursday. On the pod this week to discuss all things Birkin, the origins of French girl style, and how looking effortless often takes real effort is writer and friend of the pod Marisa Meltzer, whose new book, It Girl: The Life and Legacy of Jane Birkin, is out in October.

But first, earlier in the episode, Sam Sussman, Vogue’s global director of social, drops in to share what it was like to attend the Birkin bag auction in person—and explain (unrelatedly) why she couldn’t stop watching this season of Love Island. (Hint: we love Amaya Papaya!)

Sarah Burton is one of the fashion industry’s most beloved figures and one of the few women creative directors at the helm of a legacy maison. When she was named to the top job at Givenchy, almost a year to the day after she had announced she was stepping down from her post at Alexander McQueen, where she had spent two decades, the excitement was palpable. Her debut collection for the French label, in March of this year, was a resounding success—the proof? Anne Hathaway wears it exclusively in her August Vogue cover story.

Burton joined Nicole Phelps from her home in London to talk about her new gig, the impact of social media on fashion, and what she loves most about her job.

Plus, Chioma and Chloe talk about Doechii’s new British Vogue cover, perverted prep at Michael Rider’s Celine debut, and Wimbledon couples style.

It’s hard to believe that after a career as iconic as Anne Hathaway’s—whether as the ambitious intern in The Devil Wears Prada, the beloved royal in The Princess Diaries, or the tormented Fantine in Les Misérables—her most challenging role, by her own admission, is still to come. The August cover star of Vogue, Hathaway opens up to writer Maya Singer about transforming into a global pop sensation in the upcoming film Mother Mary. On this episode of The Run-Through, Chloe and Vogue’s Deputy Editor Taylor Antrim chat with Maya about what it was like spending time with Anne (they bonded over their favorite Criterion Collection films), what this transformative moment in her career means, and her adorable friendship with actor Bradley Cooper. 

It’s hard to overstate Demna’s influence on fashion. From chunky “ugly” sneakers to oversized silhouettes dominating street style, Demna’s vision at Balenciaga has arguably reshaped the industry forever.

In the lead-up to his final couture show for Balenciaga—happening next week in Paris—Nicole Phelps invites Vogue Runway’s senior fashion news editor Laia Garcia-Furtado and fashion journalist and critic Sarah Mower to reflect on the legacy of Demna’s tenure. They trace his rise as a relatively unknown designer at Vetements to a global force who redefined luxury at Balenciaga. The conversation also explores what might lie ahead as Demna steps into his new role as creative director at Gucci.

Plus, Chioma and Chloe break down the biggest headlines of the week—from Anna Wintour’s announcement that she’s stepping down as editor-in-chief to Jonathan Anderson’s buzzworthy debut for Dior Homme in Paris.

Mariska Hargitay doesn’t just play a detective on Law and Order: SVU, she also investigates her own life in the new HBO Max documentary My Mom, Jayne. In the deeply personal deep dive, Mariska cracks open decades-old boxes (with a crowbar, no less) to uncover the untold story of her late mother, 1950s Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield. On this episode of The Run-Through, hosts Chloe and Margaux Anbouba—Vogue’s senior beauty and wellness editor—sit down with Mariska in the pod studio to talk about grief, the emotional excavation process, and what she discovered about her own identity along the way.

Today, Nicole Phelps and Vogue’s Digital Style Director Leah Faye Cooper are joined by Washington Post’s senior critic at large Robin Givhan to talk about her new book “Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh.” They discuss how Virgil changed the conversation around fashion, the future of Off-White, and what it’s like to be a fashion critic in a changing industry.
