Paris Fashion Week is Well Underway
Paris Fashion Week is typically the toast of fashion month (depending on who you ask, of course). Just a handful of days in and here’s what we’ve seen: Jacquemus sent a riviera-inspired collection that included Simon signatures, swimwear and both teensy purses and oversized beach bags; Gucci came to Paris; Marine Serre made ‘futurewear’–now, dubbing her latest collection Hardcore Couture; Yves Saint Laurent dazzled in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower as models walked on water down Anthony Vaccarello‘s runway; Mugler brought back runway icon Debra Shaw; Rick Owens delivered a fiery show, backdropped by a burning tower; Virgil’s Off-White featured a Nike logo laden collection which eight gold medal athletes walked; Cara Delevingne, who seldom appears these days, walked Balmain; and Hedi Slimane presented his debut, accent-mark-less Celine collection––which has been polarizing the internet since its announcements. Phew!

Pierpaolo Piccioli exclusively shared with WWD his plan to roll out his latest collection for Pre-Fall 2019 at the Ginza flagship with a little help from Sarah Andelman of the sorely missed Colette boutique fame.
