1. The OG Supermodels Reunite On the Runway
Versaces Spring 2018 show paid tribute to the fashion houses late founder, Gianni Versace, 20 years after his tragic death.
Along with a collection that brought back Giannis most iconic designs, the special show reunited the original 90s supermodels on the runway.

3. Rihanna Wins The Met Gala Theme
Once again, Rihanna showed up to the Met Gala schooling everyone on how to dress for a theme.
The singer was one of the few attendees to actually adhere to the Rei Kawakuba avant-garde theme, wearing one of the designers Fall 2016 looks (which was also featured in the Met exhibit).
And lets not forget the lace-up heels that tied up her entire leg.
4. The Womens March Hits The Runway
The year kicked off with the incredible Womens March that took place across the entire globe—and the fashion industry didnt sit the movement out.
Showing solidarity, Missoni staged a pussy hat march of their own at Milan Fashion Week in February.
Models wore Missonis pink striped rendition of the iconic accessory for a powerful finale moment that was both uplifting and empowering.
5. Fashion Mourns The Loss of A Legend
Legendary designer Azzedine Alaïa passed away at the age of 77 in November, causing the industry to mourn the tragic loss.
The revolutionary designer, oft known as the king of cling, left a mark on the fashion world with his groundbreaking designs and is responsible for helping launch Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Cindy Crawford to international success.
In July, he showed his final couture show after a six year hiatus, which Campbell opened.
6. Kaia Gerber Makes Her Runway Debut
The 16-year-old had a breakout season after making her runway debut at Calvin Klein during New York Fashion Week.
Gerber went on to walk shows like Alexander Wang, Saint Laurent, Versace, Miu Miu, and Chanel in New York, London, Milan, and Paris, proving shes definitely inherited her supermodel mothers runway genes.
7. Leslie Jones Makes Fashion Week Fun Again
The award for best front row attendee of the year goes to Leslie Jones, who had the greatest time ever attending Christian Sirianos Spring 2018 show in September.
The actress/comedian brought some serious fun to the typically quiet and stuffy front row scene.
As Sirianos designs walked the runway, Jones cheered, clapped, and shouted things like YASSS and YOU WORK, GIRL! at the models.
Invite her to every runway show from now on, please.
8. Penelope Cruz Gets Cast As Donatella Versace
American Crime Story announced its next season would be The Assassination of Gianni Versace, recounting the events surrounding Gianni Versaces tragic 1997 murder.

The series is set to debut in early 2018.
9. Saint Laurent Stages A Show Under The Eiffel Tower
Saint Laurent kicked off Paris Fashion Weeks Spring 2018 collections with the most epic show venue: the Eiffel Tower.
As models hit the runway, the iconic French monument lit up and sparkled in the background, making for a goosebumps-inducing moment.
10. The Internet Loses It Over Balenciagas Ikea Lookalike Tote
When Twitter noticed the similarities between Balenciagas $2,145 tote and Ikeas $0.99 cent take-home bag, everyone completely lost it.
The hilarious Ikea vs.Balenciaga memes and tweets led to Ikea trolling the fashion house with a cheeky print campaign titled, How to identify an original Ikea Frakta bag..
11. Bella and Gigi Have A Sister Moment On The Runway
When Gigi Hadid suffered a wardrobe malfunction at Anna Suis Spring 2018 show (the model somehow lost one of her shoes), her sister Bella was there to lend a helping hand—literally—and helped her walk down the runway for the finale.
It was an adorably rare Hadid sister moment on the runway that, naturally, flooded social media.
12. The Pirelli Calendar Gets An All-Black Cast
