In an effort to build meaningful relationships between international stakeholders in press and media and the designer brands who show during NYFW, the CFDA NYFW Fund was established in 2022 to raise awareness of the importance of NYFW's cultural, artistic and economic impact. Now in its seventh season, the CFDA NYFW Fund has supported nearly 50 international editors to date with financial and in-kind support made possible through brand contributions and strategic partnerships. 'The collections this September represent the resilience and dynamism of the city through a global lens,' said Joseph Maglieri, CFDA's director of fashion week initiatives. 'With great returns to the calendar, visiting brands from around the world and a new guard of rising talent finding their rhythm and stride, New York Fashion Week continues to be a gateway for discovery, creativity and storytelling representing the spirit and independence of American fashion.' Since acquiring the Fashion Calendar in October 2014, the CFDA has served as the sole organizer of the Official NYFW Schedule.

Paris' Hôtel Balzac offers old-world French glamour, newly renovated suites, a Japanese-inspired spa – and a Champs-Élysées location with access to the city's best neighbourhoods
As a long-time and frequent visitor to Paris, I've become a creature of habit. The first arrondissement, near the Palais Royal and Louvre Museum, is where I always stay. The area is ideal for exploring nearby neighbourhoods, such as the Marais and the Left Bank across the river. It also makes for a perfect base during busy fashion week So the idea of staying near the Champs-Élysées – the touristy and often maligned shopping boulevard that runs from Place de la Concorde all the way to the Arc de Triomphe – had never crossed my mind. The façade of Hôtel Balzac, which is located on a side street off the Champs-Élysées. Photo: Matthieu Salvaing Advertisement On my recent visit to the City of Lights for the autumn/winter 2025 haute couture shows, however, I decided to base myself there for a couple of days before the rest of the fashion crowd touched down. My choice of accommodation was Hôtel Balzac, located just off the busy Champs-Élysées. The hotel, which reopened last year after a lengthy renovation and redesign by French design firm Festen Architecture, is housed in a historic building where 19th-century writer Honoré de Balzac lived, and is located on Rue Balzac, also named after the scribe. At Hôtel Balzac, Spa Ikoi will transport you to Japan. Photo: Handout The refurbishment added a Japanese-inspired subterranean sanctuary, Spa Ikoi, which offers treatments ranging from shiatsu massage to signature facials such as Kobido and Hoshin. Tatami mats and shoji-style sliding doors make you feel like you're escaping Paris for the far eastern nation. A member of Relais & Châteaux, the property is discreet and quiet. Tucked away from the happening Champs-Élysées, it makes for a great spot to unwind after a long day checking out the area's boutiques and attractions. A bedroom at Hôtel Balzac that marries comfort and elegance. Photo: Handout Hôtel Balzac's 58 rooms and suites – some of them offering views of the Eiffel Tower – are elegant and well-appointed, their decor inspired by 1930s French design. Unlike hotels that often lose their souls after renovations by relying on unnecessary technology and bells and whistles that often add nothing, Hôtel Balzac has retained its old-world charm while still catering to the needs of modern-day luxury travellers.

Amid the start of her rising career, Kai opened up to Interview Magazine about wanting to have modeled from a young age. "I've been practicing my walks in the kitchen for years; my mom can show you all the videos I forced her to film," she revealed.

"I'm going to put it to you like this: What if you were a professional actor, and your child decided they wanted to do something in this world?" Schreiber told TMZ in March. "Do they have a choice of what you did?" The actor said it "doesn't matter" what he does and that Kai should be able to do what she wants to do. "That's her life. She does what she wants with her life, and I'm super proud of her," he continued. "I thought she did an amazing job in the show." Read the original article on People

Jonathan Anderson's Dior Debut Yielded More Than a Billion Views
TRAFFIC PATTERNS: The curiosity about Jonathan Anderson's Dior debut was real. According to the fashion house, more than a million people followed the livestream of the fashion show, staged in a giant structure in front of the Hôtel des Invalides, home to Napoleon's tomb. More from WWD Donatella Versace Taps 11 Friends of the Brand for Her Final Campaign as Chief Creative Officer Jonathan Anderson to Speak on How to Lead 'Beyond Authority' EXCLUSIVE: Craft Is King, Says Jonathan Anderson, Who's Putting the Focus on Makers at the New JW Anderson Brand In total, Dior achieved more than a billion views on social media, thanks to a communication campaign across 21 platforms in the run-up and aftermath of the June 27 display during men's fashion week in Paris. 'The livestream of the show alone attracted over 200 million views, as did the two teaser videos featuring world football champion Kylian Mbappé,' according to Dior, sharing preliminary data with WWD. The full-court press around the show commenced with Andy Warhol's Polaroid of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Dior revealed the campaign first via an Instagram Story Close Friends activation, leaking the images to select editors and talents – whom Dior added to the Close Friends feature on Instagram. Before the show, whose opening look was a take on the Bar jacket paired with voluminously pleated cargo shorts, Dior broadcast a film depicting 'The White Lotus' actor Sam Nivola in Versailles and guests – including Robert Pattinson – getting ready in their hotel rooms before arriving at the venue. As additional content, Dior released a podcast with Karen Binns and an audiobook based on the founding couturier's autobiography 'Christian Dior et Moi,' read in French by Louis Garrel, who also attended the show. This was the soundtrack as guests filed into the show venue, modeled after Berlin's Gemäldegalerie museum. Other celebrities in attendance included Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Roger Federer, Sabrina Carpenter, Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey.

Jonathan Anderson's Dior Debut Draws Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson, TXT and Rihanna
JUST THE TICKET: Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior was the hottest ticket in town — and that's saying something when temps are hitting the hundred-degree mark. There was rare AC in the venue; never mind that it was installed to protect the artworks on display in the museum-like set. But either way, it benefited the audience. Some stars have perfected the art of arriving 'fashionably' late (see Beyoncé Knowles-Carter at Louis Vuitton), Rihanna and A$AP Rocky among them. Their entrance caused a commotion when the doors reopened for the couple and sent guests into a frenzy. More from WWD Sabrina Carpenter Goes Classic in Pleated Skirt and Satin Peep-toe Louboutin Pumps Dior Homme's Spring 2026 Show Summer 2025 Fashion: City Escape Lauren Sánchez Has an Audrey Hepburn Style Moment on Her Wedding Day Robert Pattinson admitted he had a preview of the collection the day before the show. 'I've known Jonathan for years, so I'm really happy for him,' he said. Even though he's been to many shows, Pattinson, a Dior brand ambassador for 14 years, expressed his excitement for the energy surrounding fashion week. 'I love the entire process,' he added. Pattinson also shared that he'll begin shooting the next 'Batman' film next year. 'The costume is iconic,' he said, though he noted it wouldn't be making an appearance at fashion week. Instead, he praised Anderson's new collection. Many looks were anchored with Regency-style collars, cravats and capes, alongside modern knitwear and jeans. 'It's all super wearable, which is great and exciting,' Pattinson declared. Mike Feist was deep in discussion with Joe Alwyn and Alison Oliver. Turning the tables during a chat with WWD, Feist grabbed the mic and played reporter, asking Oliver what she thought of the show. 'I'm delighted and very warm, but I have no intention of taking this jacket off,' she said, referring to her Dior look adorned with military-style buttons. Feist, who previously told WWD in Cannes that he's 'not a fashion guy,' kept his look casual and was there to support Anderson. 'I'm a big fan of him. We're good friends,' he said. Currently taking a break from film to focus on writing a screenplay, Feist said that he's preparing to return to the stage in a new play. 'I'm feeling very Sgt. Pepper,' said Drew Starkey, referencing his military-inspired jacket. The British actor is another longtime friend of Anderson's. 'He's one of the hardest-working people I've ever met — and one of my favorite people. This is well deserved,' he said. Starkey recently wrapped 'Onslaught' with Rebecca Hall and Dan Stevens but remained completely tight-lipped about the project. Instead, he revealed that he flew in for the show during a quick break from filming the next season of 'Outer Banks' in South Carolina, where production will continue for seven months. He also had a front-row reunion with his 'Queer' costar Daniel Craig. Craig joked that he didn't have anything intelligent to say about fashion but was seen chatting with Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu and Taehyun — four out of five members of Tomorrow x Together who attended the show (Heuningkai was absent). Craig asked about their recent tour, music-making and writing process before posing for photos with both the group and Pattinson. With Anderson's Dior debut being the hottest ticket in town, many fellow designers came out in support. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, recently named as Anderson's successors at Loewe, were enthusiastic about being there. 'We're big fans of him,' Hernandez said. 'We have a lot of love for him.' The duo said they're settling in well. 'We're having so much fun. I don't know how else to describe it. Everything feels possible — it's a dream.' However, they admitted they're still adjusting to Paris. 'We're really just between the office and home, not going out much. We're focused on the job. September will be the big one,' Hernandez added of their upcoming debut at the other LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned house. Donatella Versace, seated front row, was there for Anderson's big moment. 'For me, I'm so emotional because I worked with Jonathan when he was very young. We did the Versus show together,' she recalled of the 2013 collection. 'So, you know, I consider him like my little baby now.' The show also brought out fashion's best in class. Former Dior Homme artistic director Kris Van Assche, Courrèges' Nicolas Di Felice, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Rabanne's Julien Dossena, Jacquemus designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, newly-apponted Balenciaga creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, Stefano Pilati, and Louis Vuitton Men's artistic director Pharrell Williams were just a few of the many notable creatives in the crowd.
