Paris Fashion Week made a case for the transcendent power of beauty and imagination, reports Angelo Flaccavento. Condé Nast said it would halt publishing in Russia, citing censorship concerns. Tune into today's BoF Live event, Securing a Senior Role in Fashion, at 4pm GMT / 11am EST, with host of HBR's podcast Coaching Real Leaders, Muriel Wilkins, and BoF's Robin Mellery-Pratt.
