Fashion’s version of football might just be the auction sale of Jane Birkin’s original Hermès Birkin bag. Reporting live from Paris, writer and friend of the pod Marisa Meltzer joins The Run-Through to chat with Chioma about her book It Girl, which explores the life and legacy of the ultimate it-girl, Jane Birkin, ahead of the much-anticipated auction that took place last Thursday. They also dive into what defines an it-girl, the origins of French girl style, and how looking effortless often takes real effort. Earlier in the episode, Vogue’s Global Director of Social Sam Sussman drops in to share what it was like attending the Birkin bag auction and discuss why she couldn’t stop watching this season of Love Island (hint: we love Amaya Papaya)! 

Sarah Burton is one of the fashion industry’s most beloved figures and one of the few women creative directors at the helm of a legacy maison. When she was named to the top job at Givenchy, almost a year to the day after she had announced she was stepping down from her post at Alexander McQueen, where she had spent two decades, the excitement was palpable. Her debut collection for the French label, in March of this year, was a resounding success—the proof? Anne Hathaway wears it exclusively in her August Vogue cover story. Burton joined Nicole Phelps from her home in London to talk about her new gig, the impact of social media on fashion, and what she loves most about her job. Plus, Chioma and Chloe talk about Doechii’s new British Vogue cover, perverted prep at Michael Rider’s Celine debut, and Wimbledon couples style.

It’s hard to believe that after a career as iconic as Anne Hathaway’s—whether as the ambitious intern in The Devil Wears Prada, the beloved royal in The Princess Diaries, or the tormented Fantine in Les Misérables—her most challenging role, by her own admission, is still to come. The August cover star of Vogue, Hathaway opens up to writer Maya Singer about transforming into a global pop sensation in the upcoming film Mother Mary. On this episode of The Run-Through, Chloe and Vogue’s Deputy Editor Taylor Antrim chat with Maya about what it was like spending time with Anne (they bonded over their favorite Criterion Collection films), what this transformative moment in her career means, and her adorable friendship with actor Bradley Cooper. 

It’s hard to overstate Demna’s influence on fashion. From chunky “ugly” sneakers to oversized silhouettes dominating street style, Demna’s vision at Balenciaga has arguably reshaped the industry forever. In the lead-up to his final couture show for Balenciaga—happening next week in Paris—Nicole Phelps invites Vogue Runway’s senior fashion news editor Laia Garcia-Furtado and fashion journalist and critic Sarah Mower to reflect on the legacy of Demna’s tenure. They trace his rise as a relatively unknown designer at Vetements to a global force who redefined luxury at Balenciaga. The conversation also explores what might lie ahead as Demna steps into his new role as creative director at Gucci. Plus, Chioma and Chloe break down the biggest headlines of the week—from Anna Wintour’s announcement that she’s stepping down as editor-in-chief to Jonathan Anderson’s buzzworthy debut for Dior Homme in Paris.

Mariska Hargitay doesn’t just play a detective on Law and Order: SVU, she also investigates her own life in the new HBO Max documentary My Mom, Jayne. In the deeply personal deep dive, Mariska cracks open decades-old boxes (with a crowbar, no less) to uncover the untold story of her late mother, 1950s Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield. On this episode of The Run-Through, hosts Chloe and Margaux Anbouba—Vogue’s senior beauty and wellness editor—sit down with Mariska in the pod studio to talk about grief, the emotional excavation process, and what she discovered about her own identity along the way.

Today, Nicole Phelps and Vogue’s Digital Style Director Leah Faye Cooper are joined by Washington Post’s senior critic at large Robin Givhan to talk about her new book “Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh.” They discuss how Virgil changed the conversation around fashion, the future of Off-White, and what it’s like to be a fashion critic in a changing industry. 

Happy Pride, divas! This week on The Run-Through, pod regular and guest host José Criales-Unzueta is joined by two fabulous designers: Conner Ives and Willie Norris. From Conner’s viral “Protect the Dolls” tee — seen on everyone from Troye Sivan to Pedro Pascal — to Willie’s unforgettable “Promote Homosexuality” moment that's still making waves, the trio get into how these pieces made real impact and the new lives they’ve taken on thanks to the internet. They also dish on the corporate rainbow-washing of Pride and whether or not commercial “representation” is always a good thing. Plus, Chioma and Chloe break down Zohran Mamdani’s big win in the New York democratic mayoral primaries and the must-see moments from Paris Men’s Fashion Week so far!

This week, a new exhibition dedicated to the work of Rick Owens titled, “Rick Owens: Temple of Love,” opens at the Palais Galliera in Paris—the third such retrospective ever given to a living designer following shows on Azzedine Alaïa in 2013, and Martin Margiela in 2018. Owens joins Nicole Phelps from his office in Paris to discuss how the show came together, his early days as a designer, and his advice for young fashion students.

Mix rom-com classics like Broadcast News and You’ve Got Mail with today’s impossible dating market and what you might get is Materialists. The new A24 film starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal is the latest from Celine Song who also wrote and directed 2023’s indie-hit Past Lives. On today’s episode of The Run-Through, Chloe and Vogue’s research manager and senior digital line editor Lisa Macabasco ask Celine what romcoms she adores, her vote for best love triangle and how her brief, real-life stint as a matchmaker inspired the film. Earlier in the show, Chioma and Chloe dive into Francesco Risso’s departure from Marni and Martine Rose’s fabulous Men’s Spring 2026 show, which created quite a buzz in London over the weekend.

The spring 2026 menswear shows are just getting started. Ahead of what is sure to be an impactful season, Will Welch, GQ’s Global Editorial Director joined Nicole Phelps on The Run-Through to discuss the current state of menswear. “This [season] feels particularly big,” says Welch, referring to the debuts that will take place in the coming weeks, chief among them Jonathan Anderson’s introduction as the newly-appointed creative director at Dior, but also the American designer Michael Rider’s first show for Celine and Julian Klausner’s inaugural Dries Van Noten menswear show following his womenswear debut last March. Tune in to the conversation to learn about Welch’s favorite under-the-radar designers, what it takes to get Brad Pitt into thigh-high Saint Laurent boots, and how Andre 3000 ended up designing Welch’s suit for this year’s Met Gala celebrating “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

She also shares what it was like working with Creative Director Louise Trotter to debut her first piece with Bottega Veneta at Cannes.

This week, the larger-than-life Jonathan Groff discusses starring in Just In Time, the cabaret-style musical based on the life and music of Bobby Darin.

When the Liberty Basketball team won the WNBA national championship last year, Breanna Stewart wasn’t sure anyone would really come to the “Canyon of Heroes” ticker tape parade. But as Stewart’s float turned a corner, thousands of cheering fans came into full view to no one's (except Stewart's) surprise!  It’s clear that the fandom around the WNBA, and the Liberty Basketball team, has reached fever pitch. In today’s episode of The Run Through, Vogue’s Digital Style Director Leah Faye Cooper and Fashion Writer Hannah Jackson talk to Stewart, aka Stewie, in the Barclays arena days after the team's home opener.

It’s been nearly six years since Hailey Bieber last appeared on the cover of Vogue—and let’s just say, a lot has changed. Now the face of Rhode, one of the most talked-about celebrity skincare brands, Vogue's summer cover star is also stepping into a new chapter as a mother to her son, Jack Blues. On this episode of The Run-Through, writer Alessandra Codinha sits down with Chloe Malle and Deputy Editor Taylor Antrim and shares insights from her time with Hailey—covering everything from the intense scrutiny she faces online, her relationship with her husband Justin Bieber, and the deeply personal story of her difficult childbirth. Earlier on the show, Radhika Seth reports live from the Croisette at the Cannes Film Festival with the latest from the red carpet and the big screen. She recaps her favorite films so far—and the buzzy ones she’s most looking forward to. As Taylor notes, "deranged mothers" seem to be trending this season, with Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson's Die, My Love making headlines after its festival premiere. Radhika also weighs in on the controversy swirling around Eddington, Ari Aster’s much-hyped follow-up to Beau Is Afraid (spoiler alert: it didn’t make her top picks.) And of course, no Cannes coverage would be complete without a fashion moment. The group crowned their unofficial “Queens of Cannes,” with Jeremy Strong earning his title for perfectly coordinating his bucket hats and suits, and Alexander Skarsgård turning heads in thigh-high Saint Laurent boots. Let the Hunk Summit begin!
