Runway, Meet Slopes—A Visual History of Winter Wonderland Fashion Shows on This Snow Day

Runway, Meet Slopes—A Visual History of Winter Wonderland Fashion Shows on This Snow Day


This New York Fashion Week was one long but very chic snow day. But while the streets were lined with slush, designers kept the snow off their runways. But this has not always been the case. Some of our favorite designers have more than once transported their audiences to virtual winter wonderlands. There was the time that Karl Lagerfeld imported an iceberg from Sweden to the Grand Palais in Paris for Chanel, and the show that memorialized his life and work after his passing was staged as a snowy chalet. One of Thom Browne’s first-ever runway shows took place on an ice rink—those boys looked great on skates. And who could forget that Miuccia Prada took one of her Miu Miu collections to the literal slopes for one of her pandemic-era fashion collections?
