As 2025 draws to a close, the world of fashion and entertainment is buzzing with major events and surprising twists. In this week's episode of The Run-Through, Vogue's editors take on the daunting task of reviewing the year's cultural highlights, and there's a lot to unpack! But here's where it gets juicy: the sudden departure of Dario Vitale from Versace, just as the brand is acquired by Prada Group for a staggering $1.25 billion.
Vogue's deputy editor, Taylor Antrim, and senior editor Marley Marius join forces to discuss the year's most memorable moments in the arts. From the silver screen to the stage, they reveal their top picks. Among the favorites are the critically acclaimed film Sentimental Value, starring The Run-Through's very own Renate Reinsve, the action-packed Marty Supreme, and the K-Pop sensation, Demon Hunters. But that's not all—the music scene has been on fire with Rosalia's new album Lux, and many more artists have left their mark.
And this is the part most fashion enthusiasts have been talking about: Dario Vitale's abrupt exit from Versace, which has left the industry in a frenzy. Vitale's departure comes as a shock, especially considering the timing. Just days after Prada Group's acquisition of Versace, the fashion world is left wondering: what's next for the iconic brand? This move has sparked speculation and left many questioning the future of Versace's creative direction.
But that's not all that's making headlines. The Chanel Metiers d'art show, masterfully curated by Matthieu Blazy, took New York City by storm, showcasing the brand's Pre-Fall 2026 collection. The Gotham Awards and the British Fashion Awards also had their moments, solidifying their place in the year's cultural calendar.
