Celebrities have been bringing their children to fashion week for years, but after North West — Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's two-year-old daughter — was seen crying in the front of her father's show last season, the issue of kids on the fashion sidelines has been up for debate. How young is too young for fashion week?<br />
Which A-list infant will grace the front row with their presence? —

After only six seasons, Alexander Wang is parting ways with <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.balenciaga.com%2Fgb" target="_blank" target="_blank">Balenciaga</a> to focus on his <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alexanderwang.com%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">successful namesake line</a>, which -- rumor has it -- is about to take on a new backer.

Who will replace Alexander Wang at Balenciaga? —
After only six seasons, Alexander Wang is parting ways with Balenciaga to focus on his successful namesake line, which -- rumor has it -- is about to take on a new backer. His showing at Paris Fashion Week will be his final collection.

But if Wang's out, who's in?

Many designers strive for inventive, immersive sets for Paris Fashion Week, but none do so as impressively as <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chanel.com%2Fen_GB%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">Chanel</a>. In past seasons, creative director Karl Lagerfeld has transformed the runway into a casino, a bistro, a supermarket, and an iceberg among other places. Where will he take us next?
What elaborate set will Karl Lagerfeld think up for Chanel? —

Between her new campaigns with TopShop, Max Mara, Balmain and Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid fragrance; her September covers for W; and her very public best-friendship with Taylor Swift, the 20-year-old is inescapable these days. Where will she turn up next -- and with whom?

It's no secret that since the recession, British heritage brand <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mulberry.com%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">Mulberry</a> has been struggling with plummeting profits. But this could all change with newly-appointed creative director Johnny Coca, who designed <a href="index.php?page=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.celine.com%2Fen" target="_blank" target="_blank">Céline's</a> most successful handbags in recent memory.

Last season saw the end of the long-term relationship between <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnyfw.com%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">New York Fashion Week</a> and title sponsor Mercedes-Benz. Since then, its been announced that the event is moving its base from uptown at Lincoln Centre to two venues in Midtown and SoHo, and has merged with edgy <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.milkmade.com%2Farticles%2Ftag%2FMade%2520Fashion%2520Week" target="_blank" target="_blank">MADE Fashion Week</a>, which gave early support to the likes of Alexander Wang and Proenza Schouler. Is this this the beginning of a new era in New York fashion? <br />

On September 11, <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.givenchy.com%2Fen%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">Givenchy</a> -- the French fashion house beloved by Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Ciara, and countless other trendy A-listers -- will be showing in New York instead of Paris for the first time in its history, timed with the opening of a massive New York flagship store. Adding to the buzz, creative director Riccardo Tisci made <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmoney.cnn.com%2F2015%2F09%2F02%2Fnews%2Fgivenchy-ticket-giveaway-nyfw%2F">820 tickets available to the public</a>. <br /><br />Few details have been released (for example: where they plan to fit 1000-plus spectators), but if past shows are anything to go by, it's going to be a high-impact star-studded affair.

<em>Jeremy Scott: The People's Designer</em> is set for release on September 18, right in the middle of this fashion month. <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jeremyscott.com%2F" target="_blank" target="_blank">Scott</a> -- pictured here at this year's Met gala with friend and muse Katy Perry -- can be polarizing (not everyone is a fan of his Barbie and McDonald's aesthetic at Italian brand <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.moschino.com%2Fgb" target="_blank" target="_blank">Moschino</a>), but if there's one thing everyone loves it's a navel-gazing fashion documentary.<br />
Is the Jeremy Scott documentary any good? —

Scott -- pictured here at this year's Met gala with friend and muse Katy Perry -- can be polarizing (not everyone is a fan of his Barbie and McDonald's aesthetic at Italian brand Moschino), but if there's one thing everyone loves it's a navel-gazing fashion documentary.
