If you are in Paris this summer, don't miss the exhibition at the Petit Palais "Worth. Inventing Haute Couture," which ends on September 7. It showcases the work of Charles Frederick Worth, British-French creator of haute couture, and father of the modern luxury fashion industry.

The retrospective brings together more than 400 works - clothing, objects and accessories, paintings and graphics - to create a vast fresco of the creations of the House of Worth, as well as the protagonists who have written its history. Almost 80 dresses illuminate the changing fashions under the House of Worth from the Second Empire to the Roaring Twenties, and reveal history as it is being created.

Miss Tweed fêtes its fifth birthday this week. It was launched in 2020, during lockdown – a great time to start an independent online news platform when people have nothing else to do than talk to journalists.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all our readers who support us with their subscriptions, particularly those who have been with us since the beginning. Since then, Miss Tweed has gone from strength to strength. In little time, we have become the go-to media for exclusive news and in-depth analysis on the fashion and luxury industry.

Since 2021, Miss Tweed organizes every April a “Luxury at the Summit” series of conferences in the French ski resort of Val d’Isère.
