I look at fashion today and see an industry overflowing with creativity, ideas, innovation, and visionaries constantly breaking boundaries to redefine style. But every revolution has its roots. Every bold silhouette, every new idea, is an expansion of something that came before. So, I wanted to create this page, a space to trace those stylish steps, to be able to look back and connect the dots between the past and the present. Because in fashion, nothing ever really disappears, it just reimagines itself for a new era.
1976 was the year Calvin Klein brought jeans to the runway. In my opinion, that moment marked more than just denim on a catwalk, it was the beginning of realness in luxury fashion. When I think of relevance, I think of Calvin Klein, timeless simplicity that still feels modern. If you look at the image to your left, you’ll see that very first moment. Imagine being in the room, watching something so ordinary become iconic. What were they thinking? Did they realize it was history? For me, jeans are essential, so this was a moment I had to include.
In 1971, the idea of a bride in anything other than a gown felt almost unthinkable. Fast forward to 2025, and we’ve seen brides express themselves in endless ways, but I want you to imagine that era, when the vision was always a dress, a veil, a fairytale. Then came Bianca Jagger. For her wedding, Yves Saint Laurent, the Algerian-born designer who redefined Parisian style, created something elegantly audacious: an ivory suit. She wore it with confidence, turning tradition on its head and proving that sensuality could also live in rebellion.
Versace Spring/Summer 1994. One of Gianni’s many unforgettable works of art debuted a dress unlike anything seen before, sleek, black, and held together by daring gold safety pins, worn by supermodel Helena Christensen on the runway. But then came Elizabeth Hurley, who stepped onto the red carpet at a movie premiere wearing that same dress, instantly transforming it from a stylish experiment into a pop-culture phenomenon. The safety-pin dress is stamped in fashion history forever.
Before Bella Hadid stunned the world in Coperni’s SS23 spray dress, Alexander McQueen had already brought technology and theatrics to the runway in his own unforgettable way. In 1999, Shalom Harlow became the living canvas for one of fashion’s most iconic moments: a white strapless tulle dress with robotic arms spraying it with black and neon-yellow paint. The result was chaotic yet breathtaking, couture meeting performance art. Yes, that runway look was messy, but also futuristic, and wildly innovative, proving that decades before social media, fashion could shock, inspire, and completely wow.
Two words: Christian Lacroix. Fall Couture 1988, on the runway he unveiled pieces that weren’t just clothes, but vivid dreams of color and shape. Among them: the legendary cross‑top, structured like armor yet sparkling with glamour. That same look landed on the cover of the November 1988 issue of Vogue, where model Michaela Bercu posed in the couture jacket and jeans, photographed by Peter Lindbergh. High fashion met everyday denim, where such fierceness got a playful twist.
