As the flowers are in full bloom this Spring here in Paris, the season just ended with a lot of great looks. Wow, what a season from Mens into Haute Couture, transitioning into Women's FW26.
The talk of the season has been JW Anderson of Dior. Not only does this fashion director have Dior, but he also has his own brand. His personal work reflects his own background and life, an inspiration really from the looks to the everyday items. His work in Dior, with all the elements merging and flowing together, is working well. His own experiences have balanced the FW26 collection in the Tuileries. The collection reflects, like a Monet painting, the beauty of the female shape and energy. Talking with others, the Dior FW26 collection was one of the best in a long time.
Other interesting notes are from the Koreans and Japanese. Their attention to detail, knowledge of form, materials, texture, and colours really was a highlight this season. K-Pop group Alpha Drive One also made several appearances during the season to complement the artisan work. Handbags were a major highlight of the season, complementing the looks and styles. Overall, it was a great season with more forward-looking fashion and techniques that are more balanced and performance-based. In just a few months, we will be attending Mens and Haute Couture, which we’re excited to experience.
