VUITTON PARIS 2024
There are sometimes internal struggles in the creator competition that are beneficial to certain groups. The arrival of Pharrell Williams at Vuitton Homme has probably propelled the creator of Louis Vuitton Femme out of his lethargy. It was yesterday at the carrousel, in the square courtyard of the Louvres, which hosted the tents, as in the past, by the very late great Jacques, whom the couturiers had left little by little to present elsewhere, thinking that the center of Paris was not not relevant.
A large transparent marquee imitating for the occasion the Baltard pavilion that Verlaine called the Vulcain laces. But who will have noticed it in this crowd of 4,000 invited people who came to put the neighborhood and the rue de Rivoli in turmoil this Tuesday evening to close Paris Fashion Week.
A collection that presents the best of Nicolas, for a long time, with this chic and futuristic sportswear, which defines his couture which from time to time can be daring. Like this Norfolk jacket from the Duke of the same name, but who, in reality, was called Henry Fitzalan Howard for those close to him, a great fan of hunting before the eternal who ordered this jacket in 1860. Like a study of the spatiotemporal fault in opposing the future and the past, he achieves a visionary approach like the little Jura resident Louis in his time.
CHANEL AND DEAUVILLE
The House began in Deauville. The creation of her hat shop in 1912, followed quickly by the first clothes in her visionary, radical style. Gabrielle Chanel began her career here. Virginie Viard confides that this story is very close to her heart. There is elegance and self-staging everywhere: on the racecourse, at the seaside, at the gaming table, in restaurants and palaces.

HERMÈS THE RAIN PASSAGER
The face of the sky is gray, the ground shimmers in the rain, a dark rain that falls from the ceiling as if to illuminate fashion. Unquestionably the cuts, which appear, are perfectly executed, and even if the leather is not worn in the rain, we have a collection as a whole that flirts with luxury. Continue reading
IRIS APFEL LAST SHOW FOR NEW YORK
Iris Apfel, super eccentric New York fashion icon, Instagram star and high priestess before the eternal, died Friday at the age of 102. With 3 million followers on Instagram, the centenarian still attended the presentations of great fashion designers, in a wheelchair. Born in Queens, Queen Iris Apfel had studied art history, making her the cultured aging bimbo extremely rare in the profession.
An interior designer, she participated in renovations to the White House for nine presidents, from Harry Truman to Bill Clinton. For decades, she had amassed clothes from the greatest designers of the 20th century, which fill two floors of her Park Avenue apartment. She used to say that someone had said to her one day. »You’re not pretty and you never will be, but that’s okay. You have something much more important: you have style.” So do it…

YSL DIFFRACTION OF FASHION
The “Transparences” exhibition currently taking place at the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Paris is recording record attendance, a funny coincidence. On Tuesday evening, Anthony Vaccarello, constructed almost his entire fall collection with flimsy silk hosiery fabrics, which he said were a nightmare to produce.
Saint Laurent via a sensual nude outfit, while exalting the master’s legacy of transgression, liberation and empowerment of women. The models’ heads were covered in bonnets and their wrists covered with large transparent bracelets, as well as jewelry on their backs.
Vaccarello said he had the idea for this pure extravagance before the YSL museum revealed the theme of its spring exhibition, sure!. But I think it’s good that there is this link with the foundation also to make it clear that here it is also a house of transparency. Really very, very transparent in fact.
