On the final day of Paris Fashion Week and indeed the last day of fashion month, there was a sense of hostility in the air thanks to the overshadowing of Kanye West’s controversial statements throughout the day. But luckily some of the powerhouse brands still had their collections to present which would distract from the chaos. We reveal some of the highlights from the final day of shows in Paris.
Miu Miu
Miu Miu
Miu Miu’s Spring Summer 2023 collection “In Translation” builds on the instantly recognisable silhouette we have seen from the brand in recent seasons, but it has more of a practicality and functionality to it for Spring. Still young and fresh, but with elements of elegance, this collection is for the woman who is coming into her own.
Louis Vuitton
For the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2023 collection Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière invited his longtime friend French artist Philippe Parreno to create an installation at the Cour Carrée in Paris. The colourful stage featured a spaceship-style installation to set the scene for a collection that brings together the past, present and future. Ghesquière played with the proportions of fashion, exaggerating elements such as belts, zips, buttons and accessories and offering a new interpretation of the silhouette.
Chanel
For her Spring/Summer 2023 collection for Chanel, Virginie Viard was inspired by the iconic French movie from 1961, “L’Année Dernière à Marienbad.” The show opened with a new black and white film starring Chanel ambassador Kristen Stewart, followed by a collection of light and a fresh take on Chanel classics.
