Paris Fashion Week is currently in full swing, showcasing a blend of nostalgia and creativity among leading designers. While no single show has matched the disruptive flair of Prada or the unrestrained joy of Bottega Veneta seen in Milan, several standout moments have emerged, including Alessandro Michele’s much-anticipated debut at Valentino.
Jonathan Anderson, marking his tenth anniversary with Loewe, delivered a poignant show that drew heavily on his previous collections. The Northern Irish designer, visibly moved during his final bow, incorporated nostalgic elements such as feathered tops and trousers, alongside revived leather coats with distinctive upturned hems.
Alessandro Michele’s presentation at Valentino paid homage to the brand’s rich heritage, showcasing a deep connection to its roots. Meanwhile, Seán McGirr of Alexander McQueen found inspiration in the concept of the banshee, weaving themes of hope into the collection. With two days still remaining in the event, anticipation builds for more innovative designs and emotional narratives as the week progresses.
