Paris Louboutins With David LaChapelle

October 10, 2024

One of the most memorable of presentations in Paris at the end of the fashion season was, unsurprisingly, at the hands of iconic photographer, director, artist and overall creative genius David LaChapelle. Merging his “kitsch pop surrealism” with the SS25 collection by the French footwear house Christian Louboutin, choreography by Blanca Li, live music by LP and a synchronized performance by the French Olympic artistic swimming team — plus some rather mentionable pole dancing by topless “firefighters” — the theatrical display was matched only by a scene of LaChapelle, Louboutin and Li all jumping into the pool and dancing about fully clothed, if not moderately intoxicated. Fashion week, especially in Paris, can feel way too serious and self conscious. This presentation was definitely giving a more friends-and-family vibe: campy, fun and unpretentious.

Courrèges Fall Winter 2025

March 07, 2025

Pulling inspiration from Dan Colen’s 'Moments like This,' Courrèges Fall Winter Collection is filled to the brim with eye-catching silhouettes and eclectic textures. The brand is known for its emphasis on positivity and approaches the runway with the hope of uniting its wearers. For this collection, the event served as a safe space promoting a sense of joy and togetherness for those in attendance.

Classic pieces such as the trapeze mini and the tank top were reworked and invested with a fresh sense of celebration. Bending the classic silhouettes, the ensembles were filled with asymmetry and slanted angels while still managing to maintain a balance between the old and new. Nicolas Di Felice and scenography director Remy Brière collaborated to create an explosion of multicolored confetti as everyday staples were reimagined in a new context.

View the complete collection below.

Natasha Zinko’s AW25 Collection: BOTCHED

March 04, 2025

Natasha Zinko’s AW25 collection, BOTCHED, takes fashion apart and rebuilds it in bold, unexpected ways. Classic pieces are stretched and reshaped into something entirely new. Pinstripe suits mix with corsets, oversized hoodies zip into tight tank tops, and boxer briefs transform into elegant skirts. Nothing is as it seems.

The collection embraces upcycling, using old fabrics to create fresh designs. Clothes are flipped inside out, stacked, and pieced together with unusual details such as extra sleeves and uneven hems. Some outfits are tight in one place and oversized in another, creating a playful contrast.

With BOTCHED, Natascha Zinko challenges traditional fashion rules. The collection reflects a world that feels messy and unpredictable, proving that imperfection can be beautiful.

Take a look at the lookbook below.
