BALENCIAGA THE GAZAR BAND

This season, the theme that Maria Grazia Chiuri has chosen is to highlight the relationship between the body, clothing and performance on a scaffolding of claims, as usual, ancient Greece or ancient grace? There is the question.
Already in 2022, she showed Dior at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens with dresses traditionally worn by the women of ancient Greece, against a backdrop of futuristic sneakers or “sneakers”; modernity requires for the business of the lord of Arnault.
The designer gradually stripped her high-end collections of embroidery and ornaments, at the risk of disappointing journalists, who, in any case, disappeared from the guest lists, and who came for Couture week in Paris to admiring frothy princess dresses with extravagant trains à la Elie Saab.
This season, she used swimsuits as the basis for her loosely draped goddess dresses, adding mosaic embroidery for a touch of evening glamour, and a nod to mosaic designer Faith Ringgold, who died last April. With her hair slicked back, for models, Chiuri is usually close to the heritage of founder Christian Dior. On the other hand, this time, there were hardly any nods to the archives of the master of Granville, but the collection was more reminiscent of the dresses of Madame Alix Grès.
Dries Van Noten retired from the runway Saturday night in Paris. He had vowed that his swan song wouldn't be a retrospective, and indeed he showed a newsy men’s collection for spring 2025, roughly 38 years after starting out After standing and cheering for as long as Van Noten lingered on the catwalk, which is not very long, guests poured into the backstage melee to discover an ebullient scene.

The collection is inspired by the wind, the legendary Plissé Issey Miyake. Like the structure of a kite, some clothing also resembles the construction of a parachute.
Collection that was full of graceful and very wearable clothing, thus inspiring the name of the collection, “Up, Up and Away”.
Some looks featured plaid and then a distorted print, in orange, white and black, or yellow, navy and white. A yellow hooded jacket, slightly rounded, flared at the back like a cape.
This style of coat, without a hood, also appeared in a shorter version. Shorts or long pants in solid, fresh colors, like the Purple Rose of Cairo.
The collections of the KIDILL brand, founded in 2014 by Hiroaki Sueyasu, mix Harajuku street style with the punk irreverence of the 90s. It is inspired by post-war zazou, thinking of bringing luxury to the crazy old Vivienne Westwood and the genius Alexander McQueen, but influenced by punk icons John Lydon (Sex Pistols) he keeps the pistols and leaves sex behind, like all the young people these days. Transgressive, sophisticated silhouettes for the Flop journalist, but nothing couture, not even in the cuts.
A mixture of Pierre Baltringue by Olivier Rousteing, like an abortion so difficult, Here is the fashion that the nouveau riche never buy, and so that you can, not shine in the mysteries of couture. Vestige of a revolution already passed for a dichotomy which causes a stupefication of the past without history, mixing a present without a future. Continue reading
The artist kicked off Paris Men’s Fashion Week on Tuesday at UNESCO, and focused on the next Olympic Games following the Lord’s order. Pharrell Williams teaches us about his origins: Welcome “to Africa”, if you were blind, under the frightened eyes of Anna Wintour, who on Park Avenue had never seen a black man so ready.
Rather than a true hymn to sporting performance, the programming was a celebration of humanity for the LVMH group that seems above ground. Williams played with archetypes like the Diplomat, complete with ’70s richness, then beaded pajamas to lull us to sleep.
The “Happy” singer’s bright-toned silhouettes, including a selection of flocked, monogrammed and sparkling tracksuits, are sure to please French footballers Mbappé.
For Sabato De Sarno, creative director of Gucci, this translates into his great passion as well as his love of revisiting tailoring. Like what int now understands who doesn’t know what that is.
A pure hymn to summer days, there is no shortage of homages to the archives, from models inspired by iconic luggage to the evolution of the Horsebit shoe. Meetings, between the city and the beach, between people who love life, and those who don’t like this style.
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons redefine new boundaries; the feminine prevailing over the masculine. These two designers who intellectualize fashion want us to believe that they have found an answer in these turbulent times: simplicity, joy and the human touch, but, when it comes to couture, it is already less brilliant.

So here is a new page that is turning for Chanel, but does Haute Couture really have an importance in a luxury house since the 255 bag went from €200 to €9,500 in less than 20 years, bringing to the marks phenomenal internal growth without doing anything?
The choice could first have been Haider Ackermann because Chanel is not in Bogota, but, at the same time, also the young Jacquemus. However, the idea fell through very quickly, because how could he run a studio of small hands, he who knows neither how to draw nor sew himself. Continue reading
On Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Calvin Klein’s first global flagship will open. On Thursday night, a splashy, celebrity-filled opening party will take place at the 6,500 square foot, three-story space. The public is invited to visit on Friday.
A year ago, Calvin Klein took over No. 44, the former Netflix concept store that shuttered last summer. The opening coincides with Paris 2024’s Olympics and the expected 15 million-plus tourists, but the focus is on long-term premium positioning.
Making such an investment to sell t-shirts seems really weird to me.Calvin Klein’s first global flagship will open on 44 Avenue des Champs-Élysées for the Olympic game, maybe a good idea.

The story was not over at Hermès, which is offering a new chapter to its fall-winter 2024-2025 collection, the first silhouettes of which showed at Paris Fashion Week last March. However, this time, a new wind has blown across the East Side; type of unblocking of the sitting for the clients of the little banker, inspired by the artistic director Nadège Vanhée.
In fashion, courage is so rare that they had to call in a historian. Thus, like a momentum, that of Antwerp propels the Hermès women in Milady with studded leather and in Harley-Davidson, who “ride” in the “Lower East Side” more precisely, passing from Park Avenue via the Eastern Parkway.
Hermès fall-winter is truly at a crossroads, what if the women of Hermès in Paris played tough? Those of New York appear more open than ever to the unknown, but the New York bourgeoisie is more unbridled, it is well known.
Palette of rich colors, from harsh blue, saffron yellow or roaring red, at the crossroads of new influences before our eyes, with dipped lamb materials for a marriage of skin and canvas offering a certain size to the jackets and jumpsuits, and thus distilling the idea of confident femininity, finally! Because, after Jacquemus, I thought that the woman had disappeared. Continue reading
