During a severe heatwave in Europe, Paris Fashion Week proceeded with designers showcasing their summer collections. Many attendees and models wore heavy, layered clothing, despite the extreme temperatures.
Designers’ Collections
Big designers like Dior, Kenzo, and Louis Vuitton presented suede suits, coats, and fur-lined jackets, which seemed impractical for the hot weather. On the other hand, smaller brands like Tigra Tigra and Soshiotsuki offered more sensible and wearable clothing.
Some designers, such as Kiko Kostadinov, hinted at the challenge of creating global collections that cater to different hemispheres and climates. Others, like Camiel Fortgens, focused on creating smart, cool, and wearable clothes.
Heatwave Disrupts Schedule
The heatwave forced some shows to be rescheduled to morning slots, and PR teams had to provide attendees with hand-fans, ice lollies, and instant cooling packs to help them cope with the heat.
