Issey Miyake and Lemaire Shine at Paris Fashion Week

Miyake's collection blends art and fashion, while Lemaire showcases layered designs in new headquarters.

Issey Miyake's Fall-Winter 2024-2025 collection at Paris Fashion Week showcased a fusion of fashion and art, with designs incorporating drawings by French artist Ronan Bouroullec.
The collection was characterized by a vibrant use of color and texture, with pleated garments serving as canvases for Bouroullec's drawings.
Key moments in the show included striking instances of color-blocking, with one model holding a voluminous vermilion red fabric contrasting with a green arm and a black tunic.
Designer Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran presented a collection at their new headquarters in Le Marais, featuring a masterclass in layering and a blend of balletic grace and folk-inspired flair.
The fashion industry's tradition of extravagant invitations continues, with Kenzo offering a hardback book and Louis Vuitton delivering a metal harmonica, despite growing eco-awareness narratives.
