Now *that* was a spectacle. We had naive innocence, angsty rebellion, villains, mermaids, princesses, lightning bolts, fireworks, rats, and even Kylie Jenner. For the brave, the afterparty included a chance to ride Hyperspace Mountain (which was *epic*). As I reluctantly left Disneyland Paris at the stroke of midnight, the techno beats still reverberated through the Magic Kingdom. Fashion Month always feels like stepping into an alternate reality, but this was a whole new level of surreal.

Ghesquière took us on another of his signature journeys through time, this time landing in the Renaissance—a period he feels deeply connected to, having grown up in France's Loire Valley, home to many historic chateaux. The collection kicked off with jackets featuring puffed sleeves, cinched waists, and peplum hems, but paired with modern biker shorts and chunky leather sandals, they were firmly rooted in the present. The coats, traditionally heavy in that era, were reimagined in a much more flexible and lightweight form.

"We're in the 'endcore' now." That’s what greeted me when I scanned the QR code on the newspaper sitting on my seat at the Miu Miu show. After a full month of fashion shows, it took something special to grab my attention, and *Endcore* managed to do just that. The essay, written by Shumon Basar, author of *The Extreme Self* (2021), dives into questions of individuality—or the modern lack of it—echoing themes explored by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons at their recent Prada show in Milan.

Chanel made its return to the Grand Palais after a four-year hiatus, and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Sunlight streamed through the newly restored glass ceiling, giving an extra shimmer to the embroidered tweeds worn by many of the clients present. It felt like a reunion for the fashion house’s loyal following, who busied themselves with selfies and compliments, seemingly unfazed by the still-vacant creative director position that has been stirring up quite a bit of chatter in the fashion world since New York Fashion Week kicked off.

Just before the show kicked off, a voice with an Australian accent came over the PA, advising us to keep our essentials close and stow anything bulky in the overhead compartments. The first looks featured sporty, piped viscose suits with utility accents, paired with chic pillbox hats in Pan Am blue that obscured the eyes, beehive wigs, and metallic scarves twisted to give off a whimsical *Petit Prince* vibe.

You can’t help but admire Stella McCartney, and honestly, I do. After her fantastic outdoor show in Paris this morning—thankfully dry, though still a bit gray—she was backstage, fielding questions about her latest collection. The lineup was all about confidence, with bold, oversized suiting and roomy trenches (a recurring theme this season), followed by pleated dresses and delicate lingerie paired with slouchy trousers for a more relaxed evening vibe. Footwear included some very '80s-inspired, sculpted high sandals, and flat boxing boots for a touch of toughness.

Despite the current challenges swirling around the luxury market, Zimmermann is riding high. The brand just launched a new store in SoHo, New York, and plans to open 14 more locations by the end of next year. During our preview, Nicky Zimmermann shared that their Paris studio will be ready in about six months: “It’s going to be incredible. We’ll have a full atelier, so I’ll be splitting my time between Australia and Paris, which is pretty amazing.”

Sacai Spring 2025 Ready-To-Wear:

As I waited for the Sacai show to kick off, it was clear that the brand had evolved from being a niche, insider favorite to a global powerhouse. The front row, packed with rising stars draped in Chitose Abe’s avant-garde creations, was proof enough. As a long-time admirer, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of pride and a little possessiveness over seeing the brand grow so much.
