Though there have been a few seasons since the COVID-19 shutdown, everyone backstage and front of house seemed to be in agreement that this season felt like the first true post-COVID fashion week. The parties roared in full force, the shows were full of jubilant energy, and the beauty… Well, it was the best we’ve seen in years. The beauty at fashion week always runs the risk of being boring. It makes sense—paring down beauty to make the clothes the focus is an age-old tactic.

From NYC to Paris—4 Brands You Need to Know Ahead of Fashion Month
