Vogue’s Forces of Fashion, a highly anticipated event that brings together the biggest names in fashion, is back for its 8th year. This year, the event will take place on October 16th in New York City, as well as in Mexico City, Mumbai, Rome, London, Munich, and Madrid – marking the first time Munich and Madrid will host the event. The theme for this year is “Vogue and the Fashion Show,” a fitting topic given Vogue’s global reach and the ever-evolving nature of the fashion industry.
The event will feature talks from a diverse range of fashion icons, including designers, models, makeup artists, and hair stylists, all sharing their unique perspectives on the world of fashion shows. Guests will have the chance to hear firsthand from those who create the magic on the runway, delve into the creative process behind fashion shows, and even have the opportunity to write their own reviews and receive feedback from experts.
This year’s lineup is packed with some of the biggest names in fashion. Simon Porte Jacquemus, known for his playful and captivating runway shows, will be sharing his insights into the evolution of his brand and the power of the runway. Victoria Beckham, a fashion icon in her own right, will be discussing her journey in the fashion industry with none other than Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue. Other notable speakers include Raul Lopez, designer of Luar, known for his innovative designs, and Honey Dijon, a DJ, designer, and fashion icon who brings her own unique perspective to the runway. Makeup maestro Pat McGrath will also be on hand to share her creative vision and showcase the latest trends in beauty.
The event will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, a prestigious award that supports emerging fashion talent. This year’s finalists, including Sebastien Ami by Sebastien and Marianne Amisial, Kate Barton, Grace Ling, Connor McKnight, L’Enchanteur by Dynasty and Soull Ogun, Presley Oldham, Phipps by Spencer Phipps, 5000 by Taylor Thompson, Jane Wade, and Wiederhoeft by Jackson Wiederhoeft, will be on hand to showcase their work and compete for the coveted prize.
