This season produced a number of show-stopping moments, including both Hedi Slimane and Riccardo Tisci's anticipated debuts at Celine and Burberry respectively, Prada's fetishistic resistance and Valentino's bohemian majesty.

Renowned for his insightful reviews and an uncanny ability to discern a designer's inspirations, Tim joined BoF as editor-at-large in August 2015. Since then, he has brought his inimitable take on runway collections to the BoF community — now an exclusive members-only benefit for BoF Professionals.
