Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2019

The spring/summer 2019 season has culminated in a debate, fuelled by Hedi Slimane’s collection for Celine, about the female gaze in fashion: what do women actually want to wear, what empowers them, and who is in the best position to propose it. Simultaneously, strong waves of gender non-conformism have washed over the Paris shows, in a sense countering that debate with an all-empowering kumbaya of unanimity between sexes. In his Louis Vuitton show staged in futuristic walkways through the Louvre’s courtyard, Nicolas Ghesquière touched on both themes. “I was asking myself a question at the beginning of the season,” he explained. “For so long, people have defined my work saying I was empowering women. It’s an intuition I’ve always had, so why should I not take on that criteria to design this collection, only? This is not a narrative collection, this is about my obsession with empowering women: dressing them. I think I’ve been doing that for many, many years.”

Victoria’s Secret is bringing sexy back to New York.

The lingerie line will air its annual “Fashion Show Holiday Special” on Dec. 2 at 10 p.m. on ABC, the brand announced Thursday after earlier revealing it will be staged in the Big Apple after two years overseas.

Expect performances from musical guests such as The Chainsmokers, Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini, Rita Ora, Shawn Mendes, Bebe Rexha and The Struts.

The one-hour special that boasts a bevy of beautiful models showing off the label’s latest looks merges fashion, fantasy and entertainment.

Last year’s spectacular took place in Shanghai, China, while Paris hosted in 2016.

“The show is a year-long production, and 2018 promises to be our most ambitious yet,” Victoria’s Secret executive producer Ed Razek said in a statement. “We have more musical guests, more fashion and more stories than ever; and, of course, 60 of the world’s top models.”

Kendall Jenner and sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid will take part, as well as Victoria’s Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Josephine Skriver, Lais Ribeiro, Martha Hunt, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell and Taylor Hill.

The special debuted in 1995 and has mostly been based out of Manhattan, with sporadic stints in Los Angeles, Miami, London and Cannes, France.
