The Olympics hover above everything. Six weeks after the end of the spectacle, souvenir shops in Paris are still full of T-shirts, caps and bags with the logo Paris 2024 People running through the Tuileries at a speed intended to prove: We are not do joggers, we are Athletes!
Another major event appearing in the city these days is the ready-to-wear show. Although they take place mainly behind closed doors, what they have in common with the Olympics is that they are increasingly popular events. A crowd of young girls and photographers has formed in front of the Ritz Hotel to capture the famous Fashion Week guests.
Brooklyn Beckham also walked into the hotel on Tuesday morning with his baseball cap pulled low over his face, unknown, but when Rosé, a K-pop singer from New Zealand, showed up, his screams were heard everywhere. Vendôme. At the same time, hundreds had gathered in front of the Musée Rodin on the other side of the Seine, so that the little street was impassable, and the stewards were shouting: “Reste sur le Trottoir!” Dior will be shown here in the afternoon. And in the end you will say: The Olympic spirit has also entered the culture.
The creative director works with old games
Dior is the first brand to present its collection for spring and summer 2025. To go to the parade, you pass a room with Rodin sculptures such as the famous kiss between the two people wearing it. For the collection, creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri also looked at ancient sculptures displayed in the Louvre. What a strong human body, what forces it can release, is shown at the beginning of the show.
Even before the models entered the catwalk and right after the President’s wife Brigitte Macron took her place in the front row, the Italian artist Sagg Napoli began his career as a modern Amazon with a bow and arrow. The crack of arrows fired at a target at the end of the catwalk (safely encased in a glass case) emitted music throughout the show. The cult of the body, which is known since ancient times and continues to be sported as a constant definition and optimization of the body, is a guide for acceptance.
Black miniskirts and one-shoulder styles
While the actress in a black miniskirt and one-shoulder body showed off her muscles with every shot, the models were moving quickly down the catwalk, sometimes in transparent sportswear such as pants and long socks -knee, which has eight lines on the long side. , reminiscent of an XXL -Remember Adidas version. Or have comfortable sports clothes such as wide cotton jerseys, jackets with work hooks as we know them from outdoor fashion, or leather blousons inspired by motorcycle jackets. It is Chiuri’s sports collection since he became creative director at Dior in 2016. Christian Dior also devoted himself to sports fashion early on, designing swimwear and ski wear and founding the Dior Sport label. year 1962
Paris is not a one-stop shop for established brands. This is shown by the appearance of the Spaniard Luis de Javier, who lives in London. He presented his first collection in a futuristic dome designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, which has the character of a space with many gray metal leaves. This is in line with the futuristic designs of the Spaniard, which contrasts with the traditional elements of his native country, such as delicate lace dresses and hats designed on bulls.
“We need more creative people like Luis in culture”
The little-known Spaniard’s performance was followed closely because Riccardo Tisci acted as his mentor. The Italian who sits at the forefront is Burberry’s creative director and has previously worked at Givenchy for twelve years. Why did you support de Javier? “Because you are talented.” And he added: “We need more creative people like Luis in culture. Currently there is a lack of avant-garde.”

Alessandro Michele’s appearance at Valentino is eagerly awaited at the ready-to-wear shows, which run until Tuesday. Previously at Gucci, the Italian managed the balancing act of embedding his eccentric and sometimes enigmatic styles in such a way that they also work in the global market. It remains to be seen if this will also work for Valentino. And in Paris.
