From an absurdly opulent film shoot at the Opera Garnier to a Chanel catwalk along the Seine, fashion week offered a very different view of Paris on Tuesday from the riots of recent days. The country is still licking its wounds and facing up to the deep societal divisions exposed by days of violence sparked a week ago by the police killing of a teenager.

Paris Fashion Week: The sumptuous fusion of fashion and film takes center stage

<p>Paris Fashion Week welcomed its first Saudi designer into the fold on Thursday, with a haute couture show full of daringly revealing looks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ashi Studio has been a big name in fashion for years, dressing celebrities including Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Deepika Padukone.</p>

<p>But Thursday was the first time its founder Mohammed Ashi was included in the official Paris Fashion Week line-up, marking "the peak of his career," he told AFP.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Modest and unassuming, he has rarely put his Saudi nationality up front.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His designs certainly challenge popular notions of Saudi dress, with highly revealing transparent fabrics, or coiled collars and cutouts that clasped the breasts.</p>

<p>"I am a global citizen but I have also always been proud to be Saudi," Ashi said backstage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The show was inspired by perfumes and used organic fabrics that are used to extract the essence from flowers, along with plenty of velvet.&nbsp; "It's a dark romance story -– it's about extracting beauty from deep within and putting it on the outside," Ashi said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It incorporated some of the feathered looks and long silk trains for which he is known.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The first look was a simplified version of what I usually do and often the most simple thing is the most difficult," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There was a lot of pressure but once that was done, the collection clicked and I could move forward."</p>

<p>Ashi has forged his own path, having left Saudi Arabia decades ago to work with international labels before setting up his own in 2007.</p>

<p>But since the social changes in the kingdom under Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, Paris-based Ashi has been welcomed back to mentor young designers as part of plans to develop its own fashion industry.</p>

<p>His promotion to fashion's top league is neatly timed as Riyadh announces its own fashion week in October and says new freedoms will boost retail sales to $32 billion a year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fashion is just one strand of a strategy that has seen de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman divert oil wealth into movies, sports, video games and tourism.&nbsp;</p>

Revealing debut for first Saudi in Paris Fashion Week

Celebrity spotting on day 1 of Paris Haute Couture Week Fall/Winter 2023

<p>Turning the lake of the Palace of Versailles&nbsp;into a fashion front row, French house Jacquemus brought the most luxurious show of the season to Paris on Monday. Inspired by Princess Diana and Marie Antoinette, French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus's new collection&nbsp;was unveiled on a long red podium installed on the grass at the royal site southwest of the capital.&nbsp;True to his taste for independence, Jacquemus held his all-gender show just a day after the official Paris Men's Fashion Week had concluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The collection was called&nbsp;"Le Chouchou", which translates to, "darling" but can also mean scrunchy hair ties in reference to some of the puffy&nbsp;dresses worn by the likes of supermodel Kendell Jenner on the runway.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Supermodel Gigi Hadid was among those on the catwalk. Looking all things stunning, the diva strutted down the runway in a light, transparent lace outfit that screamed sensual glamour.&nbsp;After the show, she circled the lake in a cart, provoking cheers from fashionistas watching from behind barriers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hadid's sleeveless white lace sheer dress featured floral embroidery, which exposed her bikini-style top and bottom that was layered underneath.&nbsp;She paired it with white mules and lace knee-high socks. Her heels gave a nod to ballet shoes since they featured structural square toes.&nbsp;</p>

Gigi Hadid stuns in lace lingerie at Jacquemus S/S 2024 runway in Versailles

<p>All eyes were on Troye Sivan as he entered the venue of the Loewe Menswear Spring/Summer 2024 show on Saturday at Paris Fashion Week in France. The 28-year-old Australian singer-turned-actor decided to go pants-free for the fashion show and put up a leggy display in a barely-there yellow t-shirt/hoodie.</p>

<p>Fashion darling Sivan's reductionist look was actually inspired by Loewe Men's Fall/Winter 2023 show, which he attended alongside Timothée Chalamet and Manu Rios in January this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The daring outfit barely concealed his modesty and to complete the look, he opted for tan work boots. Check it out below!</p>

All eyes were on Troye Sivan as he entered the venue of the Loewe Menswear Spring/Summer 2024 show on Saturday at Paris Fashion Week in France. The 28-year-old Australian singer-turned-actor decided to go pants-free for the fashion show and put up a leggy display in a barely-there yellow t-shirt/hoodie. Fashion darling Sivan's reductionist look was actually inspired by Loewe Men's Fall/Winter 2023 show, which he attended alongside Timothée Chalamet and Manu Rios in January this year. The daring outfit barely concealed his modesty and to complete the look, he opted for tan work boots. Check it out below!

No-pants trend! Troye Sivan goes trouser-free at Loewe Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week

Best-dressed celebs at Dior Menswear SS24 show during Paris Fashion Week

<p>Dior put on an austere sci-fi spectacle at Paris Fashion Week on Friday that wowed the audience with models rising unexpectedly out of hidden trapdoors. Despite the impressive gimmick, Dior's creative director Kim Jones told AFP the stark, metallic set design was aimed at putting the focus on the outfits — not always the case in the publicity-hungry world of high fashion.</p>

<p>"The thing about what I do is that they are always real clothes. I really think about what the customer wants," Jones told AFP at Dior's showroom next to the Arc de Triomphe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dior has increasingly been the yin to the yang of its poppier LVMH stablemate Louis Vuitton.&nbsp;The contrast was again striking after the debut earlier this week of Pharrell Williams as Louis Vuitton designer, which turned the historic Pont Neuf into an open-air club, and was more concert than catwalk.</p>

Dior put on an austere sci-fi spectacle at Paris Fashion Week on Friday that wowed the audience with models rising unexpectedly out of hidden trapdoors. Despite the impressive gimmick, Dior's creative director Kim Jones told AFP the stark, metallic set design was aimed at putting the focus on the outfits — not always the case in the publicity-hungry world of high fashion. "The thing about what I do is that they are always real clothes. I really think about what the customer wants," Jones told AFP at Dior's showroom next to the Arc de Triomphe. Dior has increasingly been the yin to the yang of its poppier LVMH stablemate Louis Vuitton. The contrast was again striking after the debut earlier this week of Pharrell Williams as Louis Vuitton designer, which turned the historic Pont Neuf into an open-air club, and was more concert than catwalk.

Sci-fi Dior show boldly puts focus on 'real clothes'

<p>The debut of multi-talented star Pharrell Williams at Louis Vuitton is the hottest ticket at Paris Fashion Week as it kicks off on Tuesday, seen as a significant moment in the evolution of the multi-billion-dollar industry.</p>

<p>The renowned musician, DJ and producer takes over as artistic director for the fabled French brand, hoping to build on the shift towards US streetwear that helped it achieve more than 20 billion euros ($22 billion) in revenue for the first time last year.</p>

<p>Williams offered a teaser on social media, sharing a photo of himself in front of the Orsay Museum featuring a giant billboard of singer Rihanna, heavily pregnant and sporting some colourful LV bags.</p>

<p>"It's unprecedented for a label at this level -- a designer arriving with a first menswear campaign that features a woman... He is giving us an early taste," said Pierre Alexandre M'Pele, editor of GQ France.</p>

<p>The 50-year-old faces a major challenge filling the shoes of Virgil Abloh, the former Kanye West sidekick who breathed new streetwear-infused life into Louis Vuitton prior to his tragic&nbsp;early death due to cancer in 2021.</p>

<p>But Williams has long been a red carpet sensation, known for daring outfits that go far beyond the usual hip-hop stylings, and a string of collaborations with Chanel, Moncler and Tiffany -- as well as Louis Vuitton.</p>

<p>"Williams has been living in hip-hop, and looking into the future, for more than 20 years, a valuable perspective for a luxury men's wear world that has already absorbed hip-hop and is hoping to divine what might come next," the New York Times wrote after his appointment.</p>

<h2>- 'Much more creative' -</h2>

<p>Williams's arrival comes at a time when men's fashion feels like the more exciting side of the industry.</p>

<p>"Men's fashion took years to find fertile ground for evolution, but it's now doing so more visibly than womenswear," said fashion consultant Pascaline Wilhelm.</p>

<p>"The way gender, masculinity and femininity are being called into question at the moment allows it to be much more creative without falling into caricature," she added.</p>

<p>One of the newcomers making a mark is Burc Akyol, a French-Turkish designer who is joining the official fashion week for the first time, showing just before Williams on Tuesday.</p>

<p>His label, formed in 2018 after apprenticeships with Dior and Balenciaga, has already attracted the support of Cate Blanchett and Cardi B with his elegant, non-gendered style.</p>

<p>"There are several talents in Paris who are following this idea of non-gendered fashion. Or at least, the clothes are not gendered," said M'Pelé.</p>

<p>Not that this should be seen as entirely a modern phenomenon, he added. "Several centuries ago, men wore dresses and high heels."</p>

<p>One big name that is not returning this week is Saint Laurent.</p>

<p>Its artistic director Anthony Vaccarello made a surprise appearance at the last menswear week in Paris for the first time but has preferred to stay away from the big fashion showcases and give one-off shows in places like Berlin, Malibu and Venice.</p>

<p>Celine's designer Hedi Slimane, considered one of the most influential names in menswear, also likes to follow his own rhythm, and is holding his next Paris catwalk show a couple of weeks after everyone else on July 3.</p>

Paris Fashion Week looks to embrace future with Pharrell Williams debut

<p>Did Avril Lavigne confirm her new romance with Tyga at the ongoing Paris Fashion Week? The duo showed some PDA at a Paris Fashion Week party which was hosted for actress Hunter Schafer's new campaign with Mugler. Avril, 38, was seen dressed in an oversized Vetements hoodie and black over-the-knee boots and was seen spending quality time with the rapper, 33, throughout the party.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Just weeks earlier, a representative of Avril Lavinge confirmed her break up with Mod Sun, her fiance of nearly one year.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Monday night, Tyga and Avril remained stuck to each other throughout. At one point Tyga leaned in and kissed Avril as she wrapped her arms around his neck. The pair were photographed holding hands as they made their way through the crowd that night.</p>

<p>Earlier in February, prior to confirming the breakup, Avril was spotted at a dinner with Tyga and friends in Malibu, California. Back then a source close to both Avril and Tyga had stated that the two were just friends. Fans had been speculating a romance between the two since mid-February when photos of their outing surfaced online.</p>

Did Avril Lavigne confirm her new romance with Tyga at the ongoing Paris Fashion Week? The duo showed some PDA at a Paris Fashion Week party which was hosted for actress Hunter Schafer's new campaign with Mugler. Avril, 38, was seen dressed in an oversized Vetements hoodie and black over-the-knee boots and was seen spending quality time with the rapper, 33, throughout the party. Just weeks earlier, a representative of Avril Lavinge confirmed her break up with Mod Sun, her fiance of nearly one year. On Monday night, Tyga and Avril remained stuck to each other throughout. At one point Tyga leaned in and kissed Avril as she wrapped her arms around his neck. The pair were photographed holding hands as they made their way through the crowd that night. 🚨 | Avril Lavigne confirms her relationship with rapper Tyga#TTJFCAvrilLavigne pic.twitter.com/ZkDNILvrdJ — Avril Lavigne News (@AvrilNewsFans) March 6, 2023 × Earlier in February, prior to confirming the breakup, Avril was spotted at a dinner with Tyga and friends in Malibu, California.

<p>French label Pierre Cardin returned to the official Paris fashion week schedule for the first time in decades, sending out a colourful, off-beat lineup of styles that recalled its space-age heyday.</p>

<p>Models paraded two-toned suit jackets with triangular-shaped lapels, asymmetrical dresses and capes, shimmery gold trousers and thin ties that formed an arrow-like shape at the tip.</p>

<p>Attendants flashed spotlights on models as they made their way down the temporary runway, set up in the label's empty flagship store that is undergoing renovations.</p>

<p>Spinning holograms were projected in the windows of the store — located across the street from France's Elysee Palace — and one model carried the three-dimensional projection in a handbag.</p>

<p>The late designer's great nephew, Rodrigo Basilicati Cardin, who took the reins of the label following Cardin's death in 2020, said he worked with the design studio to pare back the looks, which were made from recycled materials as well as a fabric that sat in storage for decades.</p>

<p>Seeking to spark interest in the label among younger crowds, Basilicati Cardin said he set up competitions to bring on talent from other countries, like Mexico and South Korea, for stints at the label.</p>

Pierre Cardin returns to Paris Fashion Week with space age lineup

<p>Earthy scents pricked guests’ noses as they entered the venue for Stella McCartney: A Manege. Shivers from the cold were quickly succeeded by gasps when seven horses suddenly galloped in from a side door followed by an exuberant handler.</p>

<p>The show that incorporated equestrian themes was a visual and sensory statement from McCartney, a prominent animal rights campaigner.</p>

<p>Here are some highlights of the Paris Fashion Week shows Monday:</p>

<p><strong>MCCARTNEY’S SOFTNESS AND HARDNESS</strong></p>

<p>Vibrant designs showcased on the brown manege sand drew inspiration not only from horses -- with equine motifs, horse blanket patination inspiring wool looks and marbled patterns resembling horses’ coats — but also from the world of show jumping.</p>

<p>McCartney used the sport’s pomp and regalia to inspire a collection that harked to her tailoring background.</p>

<p>A double-breasted jacket had sharp shoulders nipped above the waist with a diagonal dynamic, mixing masculine and feminine. Takes on regalia and the military included a men’s white lilac tailored show jumping jacket.</p>

<p>The sense of “softness and a hardness, of male versus female,” a touchstone of the LVMH-owned fashion house, was captured also by the horses themselves, McCartney said.</p>

<p>Bags used vegan leather alternatives, such as MIRUM, a plant-based technology, AppleSkin, an apple-based material that creates a crocodile effect.</p>

<p>This was an optimistic collection — with flashes of eye-popping citrine and vermillion — that never lectured but celebrated living in harmony.</p>

<p>“Have you even seen a wild horse at a fashion show or a whisperer?” McCartney asked the stunned fashion press on a crowded balcony above the manege that still smelled of horse. She said organizers called her “crazy” for attempting to get wild horses to a show.</p>

<p>Yet McCartney said fall-winter in particular seemed a good time to highlight cruelty-free designs with the unique spectacle of wild animals living, breathing and playing together.</p>

<p>“I really wanted to make a connection with our fellow creatures because there is so much leather and fur and feathers on the runway, especially in winter,” McCartney told Associated Press. “I wanted to show that you can do (fashion) in a different way you don’t need to kill anything and it can be (just) as luxurious.”</p>

<p>McCartney said the horses had many personal meanings to her, from the photography of her mother Linda and sister Mary to “being British,” speaking to the love for horses that runs deep in the UK.</p>

<p>She said the message of the horses “is that they’re alive and the clothes haven’t killed anything so there’s a kind of celebration of everything living in harmony with one another.”</p>

<p>The horse handler was a star of the show. McCartney said she first saw him at a London horse show and was impressed with his work. “They are his wild horses. He doesn’t use any bridles, any saddles and he’s a horse whisperer ... They’re his little babies,” she said. “I can’t even get my dog to do that.”</p>

<p><strong>AZ FACTORY</strong></p>

<p>There’s still a bitter-sweet tinge at AZ Factory shows. The brand was created by designer Alber Elbaz just before his 2021 death from COVID.</p>

<p>Elbaz, still reeling from his ouster as a longtime Lanvin designer, had wanted to make a brand touting a new way of doing luxury – easier on designers, body positive, and more affordable. AZ Factory was just that. Since his death, guest designers have moonlighted for the brand, remaining faithful to its ethos, and Elbaz is still felt in the house spirit.</p>

<p>On Monday, ruffles, toggles, belts and ties brought a utilitarian dimension to the soft ready-to-wear designs. There was a sense of relaxation running throughout as the models walked nonchalantly in low-key platform sandals.</p>

<p>A furry coat with a swirling pink motif and inbuilt scarf became a total look, covering the model completely with ankle warmers in the same material. It was fun and tactile.</p>

7 wild horses strut down the runway for Stella McCartney's Paris Fashion Week show

<p>Fashion label Vivienne Westwood paid tribute to its late founder on Saturday, taking to the catwalk in Paris with a collection drawn up by her husband and design partner Andreas Kronthaler.</p>

<p>Models sauntered through the gilded halls of the Hotel de la Marine overlooking the Place de la Concorde in a chic, punk-infused lineup for the Paris Fashion Week show.</p>

<p>Playing with volumes, tailored coats had bold shoulders and wide sleeves, while the lines on tracksuit trousers curved inwards at the bottom, rather than running straight down the leg.</p>

<p>One look mixed a patchwork of floral patterns, with an ample hooded cape thrown over a slim, fitted skirt and carried on towering platform heels, as rock band AC/DC's growling rendition of "T.N.T." thumped in the background.</p>

Fashion house Vivienne Westwood pays homage to late founder in Paris show

<p>Just as we were getting used to the Barbiecore trend, an influx of aesthetics started rolling out on social media during the 2023 fashion weeks and&nbsp;eventually ended up in fashionistas' wardrobes. Mermaidcore, Celestialcore and a few other trends are currently topping the trend charts for their otherwordly, futuristic glam vibes. So as you enjoy the&nbsp;final stretch of ready-to-wear shows in France's capital city Paris, explore&nbsp;some of the biggest and most original trends that you will be loving this year.</p>

<p><strong>Mermaidcore</strong></p>

<p>Mermaidcore is the latest micro trend taking over runways, award shows, and social media.&nbsp;Much like the mythical creatures, the Mermaidcore look&nbsp;is a little elusive. You need to put in the work. A lot of work! The trend is all about&nbsp;iridescent slip halter dresses, lace-up tops or corsets, sheer lacy fabrics, light blue and lilac sequins, pearl and shell-inspired accessories, and layers and layers of ruffles. If it feels like a lot of effort, that’s because it is.</p>

<p>When it comes to beauty, the trend at its roots is characterised by slicked-back hair, loads of highlighter, fluffy brows and a mix of teal, sea green&nbsp;and turquoise shades. It’s also the perfect amalgamation of gloss and glitter. To fake the just-came-out-of-sea wet look, opt for glossy lids, cheeks, and lips and don't forget to use iridescent and holographic shimmer.</p>

<p>A wet hairdo with soft waves is the first step to making the Mermaidcore trend a part of your personality. Next, you can pick a combination of semi-sheer and lace fabric that makes clothes appear soaked. For makeup, get creative and use cool accessories that make you seem like Disney princess Ariel.</p>

<p><strong>Celestialcore</strong></p>

<p>Celestialcore is the newest and most gorgeous NYFW beauty trend that is currently making waves on TikTok. We first saw it at Thom Browne's presentation at New York Fashion Week, where models flaunted hand-painted glimmering stars and metallic milky ways on their eyes, created by professional makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench. The looks were inspired by stars and constellations.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, at Sandy Liang, makeup artist Marcelo Gutierrez took a less literal approach and added an ethereal silver highlighter around the models' eyes.</p>

<p>The trend quickly went viral online and got nods from beauty influencers and MUAs.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Lime Time</strong></p>

<p>Other than digital lavender, lime is going to be the colour of 2023. The colour dominated the spring 2023 presentation at NYFW. We saw it on gowns at Alliete, Fendi, and Michael Kors, suits at Sergio Hudson, and separates at Brandon Maxwell and Tory Burch.&nbsp;</p>

Just as we were getting used to the Barbiecore trend, an influx of aesthetics started rolling out on social media during the 2023 fashion weeks and eventually ended up in fashionistas' wardrobes.

Just as we were getting used to the Barbiecore trend, an influx of aesthetics started rolling out on social media during the 2023 fashion weeks and eventually ended up in fashionistas' wardrobes. Mermaidcore, Celestialcore and a few other trends are currently topping the trend charts for their otherwordly, futuristic glam vibes. So as you enjoy the final stretch of ready-to-wear shows in France's capital city Paris, explore some of the biggest and most original trends that you will be loving this year. Mermaidcore Mermaidcore is the latest micro trend taking over runways, award shows, and social media. Much like the mythical creatures, the Mermaidcore look is a little elusive. You need to put in the work. A lot of work! The trend is all about iridescent slip halter dresses, lace-up tops or corsets, sheer lacy fabrics, light blue and lilac sequins, pearl and shell-inspired accessories, and layers and layers of ruffles. If it feels like a lot of effort, that’s because it is.

Celestialcore, Mermaidcore and other trends we saw and adored during 2023 fashion weeks

<p>Giambattista Valli switched things up for his fall runway show at Paris Fashion Week, taking a step back from his signature, airy floral styles to focus on tweeds, which he also offered for men.</p>

<p>Models marched down the sparse setting, a hallway in the Palais de Tokyo contemporary art museum, wearing jumpsuits, long coats and dresses in tweed fabrics, mostly black or ivory and woven with gold thread. The show opened with a black, sleeveless jumpsuit cinched at the waist with a gold belt, and worn over a white t-shirt.</p>

<p>Further shaking the fabric from its traditional twin-set role, Valli worked the material into long overcoats, loose jackets, mini-dresses and a bright, red jumpsuit.</p>

<p>There were also white jeans, the hems chopped off, paired with a glittering floral sequined top in one instance, and a long, collarless tweed coat in another -- both worn by male models.</p>

<p>Fancy party dresses were included in the lineup, offered in bright colors -- hot pink, red and purple -- with neat piles of bows decorating the waist.</p>

<p>Popular with the red carpet set, and known for voluminous, tulle dresses, Valli broadened his fan base with a collaboration with H&amp;M in 2019.</p>

<p>Front row guests included Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, in a glittering gold overcoat covered in bright turquoise feathers and singer Ciara, who wore a black, sheer gown.</p>

<p>Fashion industry figures Anna Wintour and Francois-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of Kering, also attended the show.</p>

<p>The label has financial backing from the Pinault family holding Groupe Artemis.</p>

Giambattista Valli fills fall runway show with tweeds at Paris Fashion Week

<p>Halsey has another career opportunity if she ever decides to stop making music. The singer recently turned model and walked at Paris Fashion Week. She shared her debut experience as a model with a social media post as she wrote, “I walked PFW for the first time today with @pressiat_ and it was terrifying and amazing!!!! Thank you Vincent for having me, and congratulations to you and the team on such a stunning collection and iconic show! special thanks to @lynalyson_ and blonde slay by @themartyharper and pics by @samdameshek.”</p>

<p>Halsey was seen dressed in a stunning black cutout dress with an asymmetrical animal print by upstart Parisian label Pressiat. The gown came with a matching headwrap. She completed the look with&nbsp;dark, bold makeup -- a dark lipstick&nbsp;and heavy black eyeshadow. She kept the hair tucked in a messy bun inside the headwrap with hair flyaways to frame her face.&nbsp;</p>

Halsey has another career opportunity if she ever decides to stop making music. The singer recently turned model and walked at Paris Fashion Week. She shared her debut experience as a model with a social media post as she wrote, “I walked PFW for the first time today with @pressiat_ and it was terrifying and amazing!!!! Thank you Vincent for having me, and congratulations to you and the team on such a stunning collection and iconic show! special thanks to @lynalyson_ and blonde slay by @themartyharper and pics by @samdameshek.” Halsey was seen dressed in a stunning black cutout dress with an asymmetrical animal print by upstart Parisian label Pressiat. The gown came with a matching headwrap. She completed the look with dark, bold makeup -- a dark lipstick and heavy black eyeshadow. She kept the hair tucked in a messy bun inside the headwrap with hair flyaways to frame her face.

It's a fashion moment! Halsey turns model for Parisian label at Paris Fashion Week

<p>Kylie Jenner made heads turn at Schiaparelli's couture runway during Paris Fashion Week as she arrived, in a black strapless gown adorned with a hyper-realistic faux lion's head brooch, to see the label's Spring-Summer 2023 couture collection.</p>

<p>The 25-year-old's chic figure-hugging black velvet dress looked perfect with the huge stuffed accessory as she headed to the venue this Monday.</p>

<p>For her footwear, she opted for statement gold heels and paired them with a snakeskin gold handbag.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, on the runway, Naomi Campbell flaunted a black faux fur coat with a wolf's head emerging from her left shoulder. Canadian model Shalom Harlow donned a strapless snow leopard tube dress with a roaring feline head bursting through the bust.</p>

<p>According to the show notes, the collection was inspired by Dante's "Inferno" and the nine circles of hell, which is actually a metaphor for the doubt and creative torment most artists experience. The collection literally draws from the three beasts that appear in the 14th-century poem. Creative director Daniel Roseberry reimagined the leopard, the lion and the she-wolf in the collection and left everyone stunned.</p>

Kylie Jenner dons huge lion's head as brooch with a black dress at Schiaparelli show during Paris Fashion Week

<p>American singer and rapper Doja Cat, who has delivered several chartbusters like 'Kiss Me More', 'Woman', 'Need to Know', and 'No Police' among others, flaunted her impeccable, other-worldly and unique fashion sense in Paris on Monday.</p>

<p>Covered in red paint, glitter, and over 30,000 blood-red Swarovski crystals, the Grammy Award winner arrived for the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week and grabbed eyeballs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To match her gorgeous red strapless Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress which featured a hand-knitted skirt with lacquered wooden beads and a red silk faille bustier, the singer-rapper ensured that her entire head, face, chest and arms were artfully bedazzled in red. And, the results were jaw-droppingly amazing.</p>

<p>According to a post featured on the official Schiaparelli Instagram account, Doja paired her ensemble with&nbsp;Trompe lœil knee-high boots. To accessorise, she opted for&nbsp;a dramatic wrap along with&nbsp;giant gem earrings in the same scarlet shade.</p>

<p>Celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath spent over five hours to hand glue the crystals on Doja's body. She called the look -&nbsp;"Doja's Inferno", which is partly inspired by Dante's "Inferno", according to a press release. The 14th-century epic poem also inspired this season's Schiaparelli designs.</p>

<p>In an Instagram post, Pat gushed about working with Doja. He wrote, "Such a pleasure working with the gorgeous @DojaCat and the amazing @DanielRoseberry on the 'Doja's Inferno' look for @Schiaparelli's FW23 Haute Couture collection."</p>

<p>He continued, "Doja's sublime patience during the 4 hours and 58 minutes it took to create the look with #TeamPatMcGrath, which was covered in over 30,000 hand-applied @swarovski Crystals, was inspiring. The final product was a magical, mesmerising masterpiece of sparkling brilliance. Xx."</p>

<p>Other than Doja, Kylie Jenner also made a jaw-dropping appearance at the Schiaparelli show. She arrived wearing a black gown affixed with a huge lion head. The faux animal head was reportedly made from "hand-sculpted foam" as well as "wool and silk faux fur". The piece was "hand painted to look as life-like as possible, celebrating the glory of the natural world", Schiaparelli explained via an Instagram post.</p>

Veteran designer Yamamoto dazzles with his unconventional style at Paris Fashion Week

<p>Japanese label Issey Miyake paid tribute to its late founder at Paris Fashion Week on Friday with the sort of choreographed dance show that he pioneered.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A black and white portrait of Miyake, who died last month at the age of 84, was projected on the walls and the show began solemnly with sober monochrome outfits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But the dancers turned to floatier, lighter outfits and a more dreamlike atmosphere as the show went on -- reflecting the label's trademark style.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was in the 1990s that Miyake teamed up with famed choreographer William Forsythe to put dancers among the models for a catwalk show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was unprecedented at the time -- but is now common, as seen at the Dior show earlier this week.</p>

<p>Miyake, who was focused on clothes that allowed freedom of movement, also worked with the choreographer on costumes for his ballet "The Loss of Small Detail" in 1991.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The collection presented on Friday was inspired by sculpture, with three-dimensional silhouettes made with a single piece of fabric and prints created from clay shapes applied by hand to the fabric to provide relief and texture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The house also introduced a new material, called "vegetable polyester", which does not use petroleum products.</p>

Tribute to Issey Miyake at Paris Fashion Week

<p>Having turned to French experts to overhaul her struggling business, Victoria Beckham is seeking the highest validation of the fashion world with her first runway show in Paris on Friday.</p>

<p>The former Spice Girl, 48 -- who has been away from the catwalk for two years -- joins Paris Fashion Week after a long stint presenting her clothes in New York and a brief dalliance with London.</p>

<p>Her sophisticated office and evening wear has been a surprise hit with fashionistas ever since her debut show in 2008, confounding those who expected her to be another celebrity dilettante.</p>

<p>But despite having 250 global outlets selling her clothes, 30 million followers on Instagram and one of the most famous husbands in the world, Beckham's company has always struggled to turn a profit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a bid to turn things around, she has recruited top French talent: her chairman is Ralph Toledano, ex-president of the French Federation for Haute Couture and Fashion, and her CEO is Marie Leblanc de Reynies, former lead buyer at Paris shopping mecca Printemps.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Victoria is not from the fashion world. She threw herself into the business and at a certain point, she needed to structure, organise and bring some order to the house, which is what we've been doing for the past four years," Toledano told AFP.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chic evening wear was always going to struggle during the pandemic, and reports this summer showed the label had £54 million in debt, and had to cut prices and staff to stay afloat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But a successful cosmetics line, launched in 2019, has helped trim losses, and the team hopes to break even in the coming months.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Beckham has called her personal fame a "double-edged sword" for the business.</p>

<p>"Are other brands under the scrutiny that mine is under every time we file (results)? Absolutely not," she told Vogue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"But how many other brands have the luxury of getting the attention when they want it?"</p>

<p>- 'A lot of expectation' -</p>

<p>Her team is upbeat: "We've defined a strategy, combined two pret-a-porter lines, found the right price-point... now it's time to enter the big league," said Toledano.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That means Paris -- throwing Beckham into the loftiest and most scrutinised of fashion weeks.</p>

<p>"She's a bit intimidated, she's someone very humble," said Toledano.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There's a lot of expectation. For someone who entered fashion without training, there's a hope that Paris will be a sort of crowning moment," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paris Fashion Week is a way for Beckham to validate her status "as a designer and not just a celebrity," said Benjamin Simmenauer, a professor at the French Institute of Fashion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>London and New York are more focused on the commercial side of the business, as well as "audacious young designers", while Paris "has a more creative and historical" side, Simmenauer told AFP.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was a chance for her to shed the last of her image as an ex-Spice Girl, he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Presenting in Paris is proof that she is truly dedicated to the project, not just trading on her past and present celebrity... that she has an original and relevant vision."</p>

Victoria Beckham caps French makeover with Paris debut

<p>Paris Fashion Week gets underway on Monday, with a protege of Jean Paul Gaultier first on the catwalk, while the luxury world awaits the French debut of Victoria Beckham. As is traditional, the first day focuses on young designers, and the opening show of womenswear spring-summer 2023 is that of 28-year-old Victor Weinsanto, a former dancer who studied under Gaultier before launching his label in 2020.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Weinsanto told AFP his collection is a "declaration of love" to his generation, inspired by fellow young designers.</p>

<p>Freshly decked out in bright orange hair, the designer said people were looking for "creativity, freedom, madness and humour" in their outfits at the moment.&nbsp;</p>

Paris Fashion Week gets underway on Monday, with a protege of Jean Paul Gaultier first on the catwalk, while the luxury world awaits the French debut of Victoria Beckham. As is traditional, the first day focuses on young designers, and the opening show of womenswear spring-summer 2023 is that of 28-year-old Victor Weinsanto, a former dancer who studied under Gaultier before launching his label in 2020. Weinsanto told AFP his collection is a "declaration of love" to his generation, inspired by fellow young designers. Freshly decked out in bright orange hair, the designer said people were looking for "creativity, freedom, madness and humour" in their outfits at the moment. "We want escapism," he said. Like many of his generation, there is a focus on sustainability -- with almost all his designs made from surplus stock from other brands -- and inclusivity. The clothes are designed for "both mother and daughter," he said.

Paris Fashion Week launches with Gaultier protege

<p>Menswear proved to be in reinvigorated form as Paris Fashion Week ended on Sunday, with spectacle, innovation and the return of big-name designers to the catwalk. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The week concluded with the surprising return of fabled French designer Hedi Slimane, formerly of Dior and Saint Laurent and now with Celine. Two years ago, he had announced he was done with the official fashion calendar.</p>

<p>Slimane became hugely influential as a stylist and photographer for musicians such as David Bowie, Mick Jagger, The Libertines and Daft Punk in the early 2000s.</p>

<p>But he has not presented a live show since February 2020, having dismissed them as "obsolete", preferring to present collections with videos shot in luxurious French locales.</p>

<p>He gave no explanation for his reappearance on the catwalk but returns amid a sense of a renaissance in menswear. Fashionistas mobbed the gates to the Palais de Tokyo in central Paris on Sunday. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Slimane's new collection harked back to the indie-rock vibes that made his name -- skinny black trousers, even skinnier ties, golden suits and leather jackets, and lots of dark sunglasses.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>'A boom'</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The past few seasons have often seen men's and women's shows merging into one -- with London Fashion Week doing away with the distinction altogether.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But this week in Paris seemed to reaffirm the divide, with houses wanting to boost their focus on menswear at a time when demand is rising. &nbsp;</p>

<p>US designer Matthew Williams presented his first-ever standalone menswear show for Givenchy this week.</p>

<p>"It's good to give space to men and women, to each and everyone their platform to tell a story," Williams told fashion site WWD. "There's more room for more looks."</p>

<p>His show was grounded in real-life styles from his native California, he said, with a lot of utilitarian knee-length shorts, cargo trousers and relaxed knitwear -- much of it in monochrome with a few splashes of pastel colours.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>'More accessible'</strong></p>

<p>Also marking her first menswear show was France's Marine Serre, one of the biggest names to emerge in recent years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 30-year-old has made sustainability and inclusivity central to her brand, and that was evident at her sports-themed show in a stadium outside Paris on Saturday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many pieces were upcycled from old scarves and linen -- that had been turned into everything from speedos to flags and leotards.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The models came in all shapes and sizes, from children to older people, alongside celebrities such as ex-footballer Djibril Cisse and Paralympic gold medallist Alexis Hanquinquant, as well as Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon in one of the house's trademark moon-patterned bodysuits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Thirty percent of our sales have been for menswear in the last collections -- we're not at 50/50 but we do quite a bit of men's and we have no intention of doing less," Serre told AFP after the show.</p>

<p>"These are shapes that are less complex: it's easier and we can have better prices that mean it is more accessible for everyone to wear upcycled pieces."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, familiar names also made a mark this week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dior took inspiration from the childhood Normandy home of the label's founder, with a flower-filled garden runway and some straw hats and chic outdoor loungewear among the outfits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hermes was also in a relaxed, pastel-infused mood, which designer Veronique Nichanian told AFP was inspired by "lightness, comfort, fun and colours that pop."</p>

Menswear regains its muscle at Paris Fashion Week

<p>Contemporary French label Officine Generale took to a grand, column-lined courtyard in the historic Marais district of Paris for its latest collection of classic tailored designs for men and women, sending crisp poplin shirts and relaxed, pleated trousers with matching blazers down a cobblestone runway.<br />

<br />
"I think when you put on a pair of white jeans with a black sweater and pair of sandals, you might perhaps be closer to the French dream than some of the extravagance we see," designer Pierre Maheo told Reuters, describing his approach to fashion. "You can`t just have things that are all over the place on the podium."<br />
<br />
Founded by Maheo a decade ago, the label has been quietly building up a loyal following and has recently joined a wave of French brands opening stores in the United States, including Ami, which held a show at the foot of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica earlier this week.<br />
<br />
In contrast with the celebrity-packed shows from blockbuster labels like Louis Vuitton — which flew in a marching band from Florida to perform at the Louvre – Officine Generale is one of the regulars on the Paris Fashion Week calendar known for more intimate crowds.<br />

<p>French designer Olivier Rousteing admitted he felt uncomfortable presenting his latest collection for Balmain at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday in view of the war in Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's hard to feel right about focusing on runways and clothes, as we listen with a heavy heart to the latest news," Rousteing wrote to his 7.6 million followers on Instagram.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He used a desert scene in the yellow-and-blue of Ukraine for the image.&nbsp; "Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ukrainians. We are inspired by their dignity, resilience and devotion to freedom," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When he unveiled his collection later in Paris, it was striking how many outfits seemed to reflect the wartime atmosphere, even though it was naturally conceived long before the war in Ukraine began.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There were padded corsets, tops and gloves that strongly resembled futuristic body armour, while others were kitted out in golden shields.&nbsp;</p>

<p>That matched a similar focus on protective clothing at Dior's show a day earlier -- where shoulder pads, airbag corsets and items that looked distinctly like bulletproof vests -- were part of a focus on "protection".&nbsp;</p>

<p>It marks a notable shift away from the more glamorous styles that dominated last year's collections, when the focus had been on hopes of emerging out of the pandemic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There was still plenty of the traditional glitz at the Balmain event, with celebrities including Serena Williams, Jean Paul Gaultier and Brazilian footballer Neymar in attendance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rousteing, 36, has been artistic director at Balmain for more than a decade and is known for his collaborations with Kim Kardashian.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He also starred in a Netflix documentary about the search for his biological parents.</p>

<p>In his Instagram post, Rousteing said he had donated to the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, "in order to feel a little less helpless" regarding the Ukraine conflict.</p>

<p>"I would invite anyone else who shares my concerns to consider making their own donation. We are together for freedom," he wrote.</p>

Yves Saint Laurent sends silky evening gowns down Eiffel Tower runway

<p>Dior cast fashion as a means of survival, kicking Paris Fashion Week into full swing Tuesday with a lineup of house classics, reworked – and rewired – with a technical bent.<br />
<br />
Models took to a runway set in the French capital's Tuileries Gardens, parading a collection of polished, feminine looks infused with workwear references, pairing sheer dresses with motorbike jackets and gloves, adding utility pockets to long skirts, and tossing airbags and stylized bullet-proof vests over shoulders.<br />
<br />
The LVMH-owned label was the first major brand to show at Paris Fashion Week, which runs through March 8 and caps a month of fashion events in New York, London and Milan.<br />
<br />
“I think that to explore this kind of territory helps us to understand the real value of fashion,” Maria Grazia Chiuri, womenswear designer for the LVMH-owned label, said in an interview.<br />
<br />
“Sometimes we think of fashion only with an idea of an embellishment of our body, not something where our body lives,” she added.<br />
<br />
The designer worked with D-Air Lab, an Italian company that makes safety gear with airbags designed for workers that fix wind turbines, and protective clothing for Artic exploration – linked to the label Dainese, of Seventies-era motorcycle suit fame.<br />
<br />
The opening look, a catsuit wired with luminescent tubing, came out before the lights went up, setting the stage for those that followed, blending high-tech nylon with cashmere, sheer mesh, cinched bar jackets outfitted with heating systems, corsets and biker shorts, accessorized with futuristic goggles and sparkling headbands, that sat atop tightly-woven braids, tucked closely around the head.<br />
<br />
The show drew crowds of screaming fans, who rushed across the public gardens to greet K-pop star Jisoo of Blackpink as she exited the venue.<br />
<br />

Dior cast fashion as a means of survival, kicking Paris Fashion Week into full swing Tuesday with a lineup of house classics, reworked – and rewired – with a technical bent. Models took to a runway set in the French capital's Tuileries Gardens, parading a collection of polished, feminine looks infused with workwear references, pairing sheer dresses with motorbike jackets and gloves, adding utility pockets to long skirts, and tossing airbags and stylized bullet-proof vests over shoulders. The LVMH-owned label was the first major brand to show at Paris Fashion Week, which runs through March 8 and caps a month of fashion events in New York, London and Milan. “I think that to explore this kind of territory helps us to understand the real value of fashion,” Maria Grazia Chiuri, womenswear designer for the LVMH-owned label, said in an interview. “Sometimes we think of fashion only with an idea of an embellishment of our body, not something where our body lives,” she added. The designer worked with D-Air Lab, an Italian company that makes safety gear with airbags designed for workers that fix wind turbines, and protective clothing for Artic exploration – linked to the label Dainese, of Seventies-era motorcycle suit fame. The opening look, a catsuit wired with luminescent tubing, came out before the lights went up, setting the stage for those that followed, blending high-tech nylon with cashmere, sheer mesh, cinched bar jackets outfitted with heating systems, corsets and biker shorts, accessorized with futuristic goggles and sparkling headbands, that sat atop tightly-woven braids, tucked closely around the head. The show drew crowds of screaming fans, who rushed across the public gardens to greet K-pop star Jisoo of Blackpink as she exited the venue. Rihanna also attended the event, sliding into her place next to LVMH boss Bernard Arnault once the audience was seated and ready for the show, prompting guests to stand up to catch images on their phones of the pregnant star.
