After several seasons dominated by quiet luxury and minimalism, the catwalks have shifted towards something more expressive, more personal. Victoria Dartigues, director of womenswear and leather goods purchasing at Galeries Lafayette, spent the month travelling between London, Milan and Paris to see the collections first-hand. Her team also covered New York, with one buyer attending in her place. Over the course of a month, the schedule is intense: on average four shows and at least four appointments per day.
