And so to Paris, the final stop in the spring/summer 2020 world tour that has taken us from New York to London to Milan, came to an end.
In the French capital, tradition reigns supreme, the line-up heavy with the weight and pull of some of the oldest and most respected heritage houses – think Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Saint Laurent – as well as the most exciting shows of the season: Celine, Valentino, Chloé, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Off-White and Stella McCartney, to name a few.
Away from the catwalk, streets of signature, on-point Parisian style is always guaranteed. The Chanel obsession looks set to continue, too – think CHA-NEL emblazoned mules, co-ordinating crop tops and accessories – as Virginie Viard presented her first ready-to-wear collection for the maison (having already shown her first cruise and haute couture collections).
