BEAUTY: Clothing--Misc. Paris Fashion Week

Fashion month has wrapped, we went from London to Florence to Milan to Paris, and here are a few miscellaneous details I found interesting from the Spring Summer 2023 Paris Fashion Week:

Just like Dolce and Gabbana and Emporio Armani previously here, Études showed double wrap belts!


The loose cuts at Jan-Jan Van Essche were especially lovely...the silhouettes feel Japanese and the wide legged skirt-pleated trousers are wonderful.


Davi Paris created a little ode to the quintessential French designs of toile de jouy and Impressionism, expressed through causal sportswear with a little French sailor hat.


Jonathan Anderson created a perfectly nice collection for Loewe but what really stood out was both the presentation--despite the fact that it was a live runway presentation, his technical team managed to make it look like a digital CG event in the Metaverse--and the fact that he collaborated with Spanish bio-designer Paula Ulargui Escalona to create conceptual shoes and garments that had sprouted actual plants...chia plants and cat’s wort specifically. The comment was the collision of the artificial and natural worlds.


The rest is all shoes...

Takuya Morikawa showed his Taakk brand for the very first time on the Paris fashion calendar. I love his sandals that incongruously feature fringed tassels from loafers and kilties from golf shoes!


Rubber molded footwear seemed to reign in Milan and here in Paris, Rains showed some as well...


Dior showed some cool, organic web-like 3D printed shoes too.


The gorgeous sandals at Songzio were reminiscent of a Roman sandal. I covet a pair.


And finally, Namesake showed an array of shoes that were curious...a sort of slip-on sneaker with a zipper that features a thick 3D printed sole and extra straps, macramé-covered rubber molded clogs and sneakers, and a version of those clogs and sneakers with what appears to be an optional boot gaiter!
