Virgil Abloh lived on at Paris Fashion Week thanks to Kendrick Lamar.
Here are some highlights of Thursday’s spring-summer 2023 shows in Paris.“Long live Virgil … How many miles away?” went the live rap by Lamar at the stiflingly hot Vuitton show. The set recalled the spirit of theand the childhood obsessions common in Abloh’s designs — as did a colorfully-dressed marching band and dancing troupe that appeared at the show’s beginning and end.
This was the case at Thursday’s: From shirt hems quirkily cut in zigzag patterns, to 3-D paper plane appliques on suits and otherworldly, elongated silhouettes. The display’s strength was owed to its many feats of design. One case in point was the waist on a black double-breasted jacket that had been pulled in to resemble a V on its side. Its very silhouette evoked the house monogram.Death-Defying Fashion at Homme Plisse Issey Miyake
From a hidden ledge high above the courtyard runway, a dancing troupe suddenly stood up mid-show to gasps from the audience. In pastel colored, loosely-fitting pleated garments the performers then climbed down ladders, before performing death-defying leaps, falls and tumbles. Performers were tossed through the air like missiles, to be caught by dancers across the courtyard. There was no safety net above the hard stone floor.
Color-blocking was also a strong theme — with pastel purple contrasting with blush and raisin black on one look, and on another pastel yellow and midnight blue. It was a strong return to the runway for Homme Plisse at Issey Miyake.American designer Rick Owens delved into the ancient world for inspiration, returning from a stay in Egypt and a visit to the Temple of Edfu on the Nile.
