Who What Wear profiles four emerging designers: New York's Briah Taubman, a former painter and 2022 CFDA Fashion Future Graduate; London's Gina Corrieri, whose limited drops use secondhand, vintage and deadstock fabric; Los Angeles's Margaret Williamson Bechtold, whose label, founded in 2024, makes opera coats and gloves by hand from Japanese satin; and London's Grey Buscemi, who launched in February with garments assembled without sewing, borrowing from early-1900s aviation engineering.

Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum in Stockholm opened Iconic Collaborations on October 15, bringing together pieces from 30 guest-designer collections created for H&M, starting with Karl Lagerfeld's in 2004 and including Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Kenzo and Sonia Rykiel. The museum says it is the first time the collaborations have been shown together. It runs through April 4, 2027. The source is the museum's own exhibition page.

Frieze London and Frieze Masters open with 312 exhibitor presentations from 48 countries and regions, about 100 more galleries than Art Basel Paris, which follows directly after. "The market has changed across the board, and I don't think anyone should pretend otherwise," said Eva Langret, Frieze's director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Gallerists cite cautious buyers and rising costs, with closures including Stephen Friedman Gallery and Tiwani Contemporary, while The Art Newspaper's Kabir Jhala says the mood in London "feels revitalized."
