Paris was hot this season, and I mean literally hot. On the runway as on the streets, two parallel realities are being played out: those with and without air conditioning. You can instantly spot who came from an air-conditioned hotel to a car, and those like me, who spent the whole week sweating wondering why there weren’t more options on the runway for the heat ahead as we are on track to reach the irreversible 2% degree limit.
Discussions throughout the week centered on whether we have reached the other tipping point, that of celebrities replacing editors and stylists at the shows as the new tastemakers, furthering the two parallel realities in the industry. Because of a certain wedding in Venice over the weekend, with a reportable 100 private jets flying in, we were able to take a bit of a break from the celebrity fatigue. Not to mention, a Kardashian-free fashion week, although I’m sure they won’t skip couture. There are people who have completely established themselves in the industry like Russell Westbrook who has his own brand Honor Thy Gift and has been a front-row staple for over a decade, and then there are the ones passing through town that you wouldn’t expect like Steve Harvey and his wife Marjorie which are fun! And then there are the ones who literally wear the brand like French Montana walking 3.Paradis who demonstrates how much the brand resonates with people from all backgrounds.
With Paris Fashion Week kicking off only two days after USA bombed Iran, anything Americana did feel quite off. There were some having a ball, and others having a bawl between shows. We had a similar experience back in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, however this time it was as if half of the people didn’t even know. The feelings of uncertainty are probably why a black palette with the occasional pops of red was so prevalent. What stood out this week were the little personal touches of jewelry, carefully thought out bags, beaded or embroidered florals, chains, the accessories that become an extension of you that we wear like little amulets for protection.
Coco Chanel said “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” I asked a French six-year-old how she would describe the fashion week street style and the reply was classic “Too rock’n’roll, they need to balance out the tops with the bottoms.”
