Paris Fashion Week kicked off with an image I won't soon forget—Jonathan Anderson transformed the Jardin des Tuileries into a lily pond for his Claude Monet-inspired fall collection at Dior. As my whirlwind trip comes to a close, there are many equally memorable moments to look back on, from Matthieu Blazy's reinvention of '20s drop-waisted silhouettes at Chanel to Haider Ackermann's slick '90s tribute at Tom Ford. For those following the industry's ever-present game of designer musical chairs, Pieter Mulier's Alaïa send-off was another benchmark (our editors can't wait to see what he does in his new post at Versace come the summer). And Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent show was a tuxedo-filled homage to the 60th anniversary of Le Smoking (and of Vaccarello's own decade at the house). Today's newsletter is all about the happenings in Paris, and for even more runway coverage from our team, visit ELLE.com. —Nina Garcia, editor-in-chief |
