One of Narciso Rodriguez’s prized possessions is a pair of Victorian gloves, made painstakingly by hand. It’s a reminder that, as he says, “Good things last, and they’re meaningful.” Creating those lasting, meaningful things is Rodriguez’s North Star right now. When he founded his namesake brand in 1997, he quickly became a boldface fashion name….
Satoshi Kuwata’s story reads like a fashion fairy tale. In 2023, the Setchu designer won fashion’s most prestigious award, the LVMH Prize for Young Designers. It came with a year of mentorship and a €400,000 ($429,000) cash prize — but just the status alone paid dividends. Within a year, the Milan-based Kuwata, a veteran of…
