Paris Haute Couture Week has come to a close, with designers showcasing their latest collections. The event featured avant-garde gardens, singular debuts, and vampire brides.
Designers and Their Collections
Chanel’s collection centered on the idea of fairytales, with large twisting vines and magic beans scattered throughout. Jonathan Anderson’s collection for Dior was inspired by the work of sculptor Lynda Benglis, with colors and textures from Santa Fe, New Mexico and Ahmedabad, India.
Rahul Mishra’s collection looked ancient and talismanic, with clothes towering high above models’ shoulders. Manish Malhotra’s debut collection was inspired by cinema, with a cinematic sensibility and a story told in four chapters, an ode to his mother.
Art and Fashion
The connection between art and fashion was evident throughout the event, with designers drawing inspiration from various art forms. The Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, a place of pilgrimage for fashion enthusiasts, features archival fashion, books, and art.
