IT'S MERMAID SUMMER
If you've ever played mermaids at the pool or at the beach with friends, then strap on babes, this episode is for you. For Mathieu Blazy's first Chanel Cruise collection, he decided to take us to Biarritz, essentially the birthplace of the fashion house as we know it today. Inspired by what you find in the ocean - which includes mermaids, duh - Blazy gave us a beautiful collection filled with sequin, swim caps, and barely there sandals. Listen to the episode to hear what I have to say about the collection. Follow the pod on IG @fashiioncosmos and TikTok @fash1oncosmos

THE CHANEL CRAZE
Guys...what in the heel is going on at Chanel? Lines outside of Chanel boutiques? Sold out shoes and bags? The Hunger Games inside of the stores? People are going CRAZY over Chanel's latest collection, or Mathieu Blazy's collection, that is. Blazy has achieved what every designer dreams of: consumes buying for them, not necessarily for the brand. Long gone are the days of just buying a 'Chanel bag,' and in are the days of buying a "Blazy-for-Chanel shoe.' Listen to the episode to hear about my thoughts on Chanel's FW 2026 collection and the latest 'Chanel Craze' that has hit the fashion industry.ALSO!

THE COUTURE BIGGIES
HI HI HIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness it feels like AGES since we've spoken - apologies for that actually, my loves. However, I am BACK and BETTER than ever! Welcome to season three!!!! You didn't think I would miss couture did you? I mean, come on, you don't know me at all then. On this season three opener, I talk about the big couture houses of the season: Schiaparelli, Chanel, and Dior. Was it just me that felt this couture season was...quiet? Chanel and Dior had their Couture Creative Director debuts with Blazy and Anderson at the helm, and Schiaparelli, well, is Schiaparelli. No couture coverage is valid without it. Listen in, and I hope you enjoy! Also follow the podcast on Instagram @fashiioncosmos.

THE FUR REVOLUTION HAPPENING ON THE RUNWAYS OF MILAN
Buongiornoooo and buonaseraaaa to my cosmoholics that are bellissimos!!! We're back in Milan, and although I've been feeling uninspired by the indsutry lately, *cough cough NYC and London Fashion Weeks cough cough* Milan has really spruced me up and given me the motivation I need. I will say, however, that I couldn't help but notice that many of the Milanese runways had large amounts of fur on them... does this mean fur is officially back and socially accepted??? Well, Milan seems to think so. As always, I went over time covering these brands and therefore I will be covering the rest of Milan in the next episode. Until then, my lovelies. Arrivederci!! xoxoFollow the IG: @fashiionccosmos

From Schiaparelli to Armani to JPG, couture was, and will always be, a true testament to exceptional craftsmanship and bold creativity.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR MERRY-GO-ROUND
Hello there sexy cosmoholics :) Welcome back to another fabulous episode of Fashion Cosmos. This episode explores the nuances of the fashion industry's captains, if you will, of the ships navigating the seas of the fashion indsutry. LOL, I didn't mean for that to sound so poetic but you get the gist. If you've been keeping up (or even if you haven't) with fashion news, you've probably heard about all the mix-match and chaos happening in this industry when it comes to its creative directors. BLAZY AT CHANEL? GALLIANO LEFT MARGIELA? etc etc. So, I've decided to be your own personal guide to the sharp and scary waters of the fashion seas at the moment. So sit back, relax, and take notes, because this is going to be one hell of a ride, cosmoholics. ALSO, follow the podcast on Instagram @fashiionccosmos.

Ho ho ho cosmoholics!!! Santa has brought us something really special this time - a Chanel critique down by yours truly! Chanel's latest Métiers d'Art show was held on Tuesday night and of course I had to hop in and give my thoughts and opinions that you all love so much. Held in the city of Hangzhou, China, the show was definitely a sight to see. On the same night, however, the British Fashion Awards took place and it has created a sort of shituation - I mean, situation - across social media regarding Model of the Year. Listen to the latest episode and SEASON ONE FINALE to hear more about what I have to say about everything. Love you all so so much and have the most amazing holidays and New Year celebrations!!! See you in 2025 my beautiful cosmoholics!! xx

EP.27: DRESSING THE STARS? OR THE STARS DRESSING US?
Whether you're a Virgo, Pisces, or a Scorpio, you're definitely going to enjoy this week's episode. I've decided to blend my two biggest passions together: fashion and astrology. Astrology has always had an ever-enduring place in the world of fashion, whether it be in the media or design. From the runways to the weekly columns, astrology's presence in the industry is ever-present, and with astrology taking over TikTok, it's teaching us how to dress too. Listen and maybe, just maybe, I'll read your own fashion horoscope too! ;)
