If you are oblivious to all the rumblings at the CFDA, you must be living in your own private silo. That said, Steven Kolb resigned from his position of CEO of the CFDA after the PETA debacle at the COS spring 2027 show.
Hildy Kuryk will serve as interim chief executive in Kolb’s absence. This is a temporary position while the CFDA employs Karen Harvey Consulting Group to find the next CFDA CEO. This search is expected to take three to six months.
Kuryk is the co-founder of boutique consultancy Artemis Strategies and previously served as executive director of communications at Vogue and Teen Vogue, working directly with Anna Wintour. Good luck!!

Everything old is new again
The first volume of Zara’s partnership with John Galliano for the new Re {Form} Zara by John Galliano collection has dropped. This collaboration was announced in March of 2026 with Galliano taking inspiration from Zara’s past stock.
This first drop is massive with some of the standout garments—sheer dresses and coats—retailing for around $750 to $1000. (Still, this is considerably less than one would have paid for Galliano’s collections for Dior and Martin Margiela.)
“Each piece I started to play with took on its own character,” said Galliano of his process creating the collection, as reported in fashionweekdaily.com. “When you take something out of context and try it on different fabrics, you begin to subvert it. It becomes a little newer, but in a subtle way. You have to look twice sometimes. It’s a dialogue … to me, Re{form}.Zara means working in a similar way that digital artists do, or DJs when they sample music. It’s kind of the grammar of today. That’s how I see it with cloth.”
