Paris Fashion Week Wraps
Au revoir #PFW and fashion month! It’s certainly been a whirlwind of a season filled with re-grammable moments (when Instagram was up, that is). Balenciaga made a spectacle of red carpet moments to showcase his SS22 collection and invited The Simpsons cast to help usher in the humorous moment, changing the narrative of the traditional fashion show. Miu Miu had a ‘00s flashback moment, bringing back low-rise mini skirts, oversized office-wear attire mixed in with highly-covetable embellished, cocktail dresses. To close out #PFW, AZ Factory made a heartfelt tribute to late designer Alber Elbaz, asking 40 designers to create pieces in honor of Elbaz, at Le Carreau du Temple in Paris. The cathartic moment brought the industry together to commemorate the deep loss of not only a talented designer but a kind soul.
