The Only Fashion News You Need To Know About This Month

It’s also a really good month for the style scene. Sure, the runway madness may be over (as of last week), but the October fashion news is sure to keep you feeling sartorially inspired, thanks to the new collaborations, seasonal campaigns, and more industry happenings.
