In our latest English language episodes of 《Good Morning, VOGUE China》Vogue China Editor-in-Chief, Margaret Zhang, and VOGUE Business China Associate Editorial Director, Yiling Pan, continue their world-tour conversation around Fashion Month, taking a VOGUE China lens to New York, London, Milan, Paris and Shanghai.

During a season where showgoers whispered among themselves, 'but where is the drama?', Paris Fashion Week delivered. A standout on the schedule was John Galliano's Maison Margiela show, which challenged the commercial pragmatism of the Spring/Summer 2024 collections, and reignited the industry's faith in fashion's sense of theatre. John joins Margaret and Yiling to discuss the significance of Paris and PFW to his personal and professional growth, and how he views the future of fashion and creative culture.
