Firstly , from Christian Dior to Louis Vuitton, follow our reverie of the best of Paris Fashion Week fall 2020.
So, Paris is formally known as the City of Light, less formally as the city of love. So, for those who are sartorially inclined, the capital of the fashion industry. It is home to some of the biggest luxury labels with the most prolific designers who create collections that are directional, reflective of the times, and, simply put, make us dream.
Christian Dior
Maria Grazia Chiuri wears her politics on her sleeves, a sentiment that is reflected in her designs for Christian Dior. So,throughout her tenure at the storied maison, she has done away with the fancifulness of her predecessors. Instead creating collections that are grounded in reality and that comment on women’s rights in a profound way. She continued this feminist streak for the fall 2020 season, erecting a makeshift venue at the Jardin des Tuileries that was filled with neon signs that read “Consent,” “Women Raise the Uprising,” “Patriarchy = Climate Emergency,” and “Feminine Beauty Is A Ready-Made”—artworks that were made by Claire Fontaine, a collective of feminist artists.
The lineup presented was equally as powerful, conveying fortitude and confidence through relaxed trousers, checkered suits, and diaphanous dresses paired with biker caps or bandanas, and flats boots or sneakers. Indeed, each look appeared unencumbered by societal dictates, representing women who dressed for themselves and not the male gaze. —Barry Samaha
Saint Laurent
Anthony Vaccarello mined the ’90s —”well-behaved and overly bourgeoise elegance”—for a show that leveraged latex and ladylike jackets in equal measure. It’s all about a little vamp mixed with a sweeping updo and gold button earrings. The contrast is welcome—deep greens and red plaids, polka dots and panther set against high shine patent. You’re not quite sure if these clothes are for the office or the after hours club. But in that red fur accented coat, who even cares? -Kerry Pieri
