Michael Rider’s debut at Celine, Glenn Martens’ first Margiela couture show and Jonathan Anderson’s reinvention of his own brand were among the signs in Paris that luxury is ready to open a new creative chapter, writes Imran Amed.

In a week of couture shows that often felt formulaic, Glenn Martens’ debut at Maison Margiela supplied bold new energy, writes Angelo Flaccavento.

His Artisanal debut at Maison Margiela was a gust of something — not so much fresh air as major food for thought, writes Tim Blanks.

He’s not quitting, he’s just moving on. But Wednesday’s show was a moment to celebrate one of fashion’s most indelible image makers, writes Tim Blanks.

Chanel at 110, Armani at 91, Me at Midnight: Tuesday in Paris was that kind of day, writes Tim Blanks.

Daniel Roseberry plans radical changes at the house, so he saw Monday’s couture show as a farewell to the old Schiap, making peace with the past to clear the decks for things to come.

The designer’s debut for the house contained nods to the tenures of Hedi Slimane, Phoebe Philo and Michael Kors, as well as Rider’s own work for Polo Ralph Lauren, reports Angelo Flaccavento.

Both sides of fashion’s value equation will be put to the test in the coming days as couture houses flex their creative muscles and consumer prices hang in the balance pending trade deals between the US and major fashion manufacturing hubs.
