Nicolas Di Felice's Courrèges show embraced space-age minimalism, combining sleek designs with subtle, off-kilter details inspired by the '60s.
Dries Van Noten's first collection without its namesake designer merged historical influences with modern silhouettes, maintaining the brand's legacy of style over fashion.
Julien Dossena's Paco Rabanne collection juxtaposed power dressing with playful, avant-garde elements, though some designs were critiqued for impracticality.
The shows highlighted a mix of nostalgia and innovation, with each designer bringing their unique vision to the Paris Fashion Week runway.
