Saturday night at LACMA was the first real red carpet of awards season, and Gucci owned it. As presenting sponsor, the house dressed a long list of guests in Demna's Spring 2027 characters — sculpted collars, open backs, sequins by the yard — and the carpet read like a preview of the season to come.

The look that broke through the wall of Gucci was the one that was not Gucci at all. Kylie Jenner's fawn-print Ashi Studio couture gown — backless, beaded, finished with a tassel down the spine — was the most talked-about dress of the night, and she knew it, posting it to Instagram with the words xmas came early.

The quieter story was vintage. Anya Taylor-Joy wore archival Pierre Cardin, all silver embroidery and surrealist organza ruffles, and Olivia Munn chose vintage Mugler. On a night built for new-season statements, the archive pieces were the ones that lingered.

Kering confirmed the worst-kept secret in Paris on Nov 6: Martine Rose is the new creative director of Balenciaga, starting Nov 16. She succeeds Pierpaolo Piccioli, who left on Nov 5 after fewer than 18 months at the house. Rose becomes the first woman to lead Balenciaga in its 109-year history, and only the second Black woman to helm a major European luxury house — after Grace Wales Bonner at Hermès menswear.

The appointment is a homecoming of sorts. Rose built her own label in London from 2007, dissecting British subcultures — football terraces, rave, reggae — through tailoring and sportswear, and she consulted on Balenciaga menswear under Demna before her own line took off. Her first runway is expected at Paris Fashion Week in March 2027.

Rose arrives in Paris on a hot streak. Her Supreme collaboration — a Mike Tyson 'Heavyweight Champion' print across track jackets, hoodies and tees — dropped Oct 15 and is already trading at a premium. She is also the first creative-director hire under Kering CEO Luca de Meo, and the bet is clear: a house that lost its way gets a designer who knows exactly who she is.

NikeSKIMS follows its Rift with a faithful take on the 1977 Waffle Racer: thin nylon upper, suede and leather overlays, waffle outsole, discreet NikeSKIMS branding. Drops today on Nike and SKIMS sites (women's sizing); Retro Sport '70s apparel follows Nov 17. Keeps the archive retro-runner wave (Jacquemus Moon Shoe) moving.

The coat of the season is not a coat at all — it is a robe. Conner Ives's fur-trimmed silk duster, embroidered with florals and cranes and cut from vintage tapestries, has gone from a Fall 2025 runway curiosity to the most photographed outerwear in Hollywood in the space of a few weeks.

The receipts are hard to argue with. Kendall Jenner wore the butter-yellow opening look to dinner and again in her 31st-birthday post, which passed 2.2 million likes. Hailey Bieber posted the cherry-blossom version, Zoe Kravitz took the icy blue to an SNL after-party, and Jennifer Lawrence has now worn two versions in a week, including a chartreuse Colleen Allen take that sold out.

The high street has already answered. Faux-fur-trimmed belted coats are everywhere, from Zara to Kith's lambskin Taria, and the silhouette works because it is a cheat code: as warm as a puffer, twice as elegant, and it turns an errand run into an entrance.

Nearly a decade after the original partnership ended, Rick Owens and adidas are back — and the first drop is the Springblade, the mid-2010s cushioning system built from individual polymer blades, rebuilt through Owens' lens. The collection was previewed at his SS27 'Stone' show at the Palais de Tokyo in June, and it lands Nov 17.

Three pairs make up the drop: two Springblade Runners in Light Brown and Core Black at $590 each, and a tall Springblade Boot with a gathered textile gaiter at $850. Mesh uppers, leather overlays, oversized Three Stripes — and that unmistakable blade sole, now exaggerated and exposed.

The reunion runs deeper than footwear — the June show also featured Climacool inflatable tracksuits with built-in fans — but the Springblade is the piece you can actually buy next week. CONFIRMED app sign-ups open Nov 11; expect the runners to move fast and the boot to be the grail.

Kith and New Balance released three NYC-monument colorways of the Ronnie Fieg-co-designed 2011, with 2002-sourced ABZORB tooling, pigskin suede and quilted panels; Garden is exclusive to New Balance at Kith West Hollywood. Kith's earlier United Arrows & Sons x NB 990v3 is still sold out in all 22 sizes.

Some collaborations are marketing; this one is a friendship. Stella McCartney and Yoshitomo Nara return for a third capsule on November 11, and the work is the most handmade yet — a rock'n'roll forest of organic cotton, responsible wool and vegan leather, printed and embroidered with Nara's big-headed girls.

The grail pieces are the four made-to-order atelier styles: framed hand-crocheted Nara faces, knitted scarves and jumpers, including the Cutie in the Puddle sweater that takes more than 60 hours to make. The most wearable surprise is the adidas SPW64, a triple-collab take on the Tokyo 64 track shoe in bright blue and orange.

The timing is no accident. Nara's first solo New York show in nearly a decade just opened at David Zwirner, and his largest painting ever goes to auction on November 19. For now, the ten-to-fifteen-million-dollar canvas can wait — the sweater is the way in.

Wednesday Nov 12 stacks four releases into a single day. Supreme's seven-piece Elliott Smith tribute leads the morning, HOKA and Marni's Clifton 11 lands in three colourways, HAVEN reworks the Chuck 70 in cashmere suede, and Carhartt WIP brings the Air Max Goadome Low with a six-piece apparel capsule. It is the busiest drop day of the month.

The through-line is texture over hype. Marni's raised 3D silicone waves and plaid sockliner, HAVEN's smooth-versus-hairy suede with a lateral side zip, Carhartt's Dearborn canvas and Windrunner chevrons, Supreme's archival Elliott Smith photography by Autumn de Wilde. Nothing here shouts; everything is meant to be handled.

The week is really a five-day run. Story mfg. and ASICS drop the GEL-TRANSCEND FJ online Nov 11 at $180, the day after the New York chapter at Blue in Green — and Tekken and Nike's Air Max 1 'Low Poly' teases the holiday season behind it. Budget accordingly: the Goadome is $190, the Clifton 11 is $275, the ASICS is $180.

Second Marni x HOKA collab reworks the Clifton 11 with plaid sockliner, metal lace dubraes, reflective bits and spare laces; $275. Marni stores/site Nov 12 (registered-user early access live now), HOKA and global retail Nov 13. Fashion-runner crossover keeps going.
