Since Vivienne Westwood’s death last December, the tributes to her memory haven’t stopped. The most notable was her AW23 collection show in Paris Fashion Week which paid homage to her life’s work – including her favourite materials, styles and inspirations, curated by her husband, Kronthaler. The show finished with one final tribute from her granddaughter, Cora Corre, who closed in a bridal corsetted lace playsuit.

Mui Mui makes unkept lousy hair days, hardly dressed and frayed edges look cool and fashionable. Each model is dressed in classic conservative clothing like cardigans and tights but looks purposefully dishevelled. Lady Chatterly’s Lover and model, Emma Corrin, closed the show in a neat jumper, wearing bejewelled knickers and sheer stockings.

Mugler Angel is iconic for being the first-ever gourmand fragrance; 30 years later, the iconic candied signature has been reimagined in Angel Elixir with floral, vanilla and spicey amber. The face of the new Angel Elixir is model and Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer; dressed in Mugler’s iconic figure-enhancing body suits and silhouette, Schafer takes on a new kind of femininity for Angel Elixir.
