For fashion obsessives, September feels like the New Year&mdash;a season that pulses with possibility. This fall, the joy of getting dressed springs from fashion's exuberant anything goes philosophy, and a triumphant return to maximalist expression.&nbsp;
For this season's Fall/Winter 2025 runway <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-2025-fashion-trends-back-to-school-collections-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collections story</a>, L'OFFICIEL goes back to school. No matter which fashion tribe calls to you on any given day, you belong.
Within the storied halls of Fendi, Silvia Venturini Fendi has always felt at home&mdash;even during the Karl Lagerfeld era, when the designer&rsquo;s formidable presence commanded every room. Now, as the house celebrates its centennial, she opens up about orchestrating the much-celebrated anniversary runway show and what it means to carry forward 100 years of heritage.
In another corner of the fashion firmament, Julian Klausner is forging his path as the newly appointed creative director of Dries Van Noten. We capture his inaugural collection in his hometown, Antwerp, and get to know the man behind one of fashion's most anticipated successions.
Fresh starts shape this issue in unexpected ways. Take <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kristin-scott-thomas-my-mothers-wedding-directorial-debut-working-wth-scarlett-johansson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kristin Scott Thomas</a>&mdash;the BAFTA-winning powerhouse steps behind the camera for the first time, directing My Mother's Wedding, a deeply personal film. Wrapped in fall's sumptuous leather looks in &ldquo;Class Act,&rdquo; she radiates the same commanding presence that makes her Slow Horses character, Diana Taverner, so magnetic.
Our cover star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/jessica-chastain-actor-interview-the-savant-series" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jessica Chastain </a>also embraces new territory this season with the limited crime thriller series The Savant. The Juilliard-trained actress, ever the queen of dramatic transformation, channeled her theatrical roots for our cover story&mdash;playing marionette to the sculptural visions of Marc Jacobs, Loewe, and Thom Browne. Each look is a testament to fashion's shape-shifting magic.
