#80S FLOCK OF SEAGULLS HAIR DRIVER#

Champagne, please!īetween that, the coffee, the jet lag, and the four hours’ flight-sleep, I was getting a sense of the state my body would be in for the next five days (running on nonrenewable energy). If you made it past the silk-wrapped models and the swing set, you’d even find a cheeky little bar at the back. From there, a short cab split with a former colleague (fashion week is the best backdrop for kismet catch-ups) to the Anna October presentation at Atelier Eiffel, where apples were staged in bookcases and flowers were strewn on the floor. The paparazzi zoo paraded out front-one of many we’d encounter through the week.

LR: After Issey concluded, our driver dropped me off across town only a block or two from the Arc de Triomphe at the Giambattista Valli show, which was all very Venus de Milo, baby doll-ified. This was about the moment I began to weep. Models leaped, twirled, and flew across the warehouse-width runway. The energy built as the show transitioned into a breathtaking dance then ended with a finale walk-or rather run. Music of birds chirping in nature filled the room. The show began with a tribute to the late designer. Being here for the first show since his passing, in Paris, was a dream come true. He is one of the reasons I studied fashion in college.

It was my first season attending independently-I was there to cover and connect for my fashion shopping newsletter Magasin-and it was off to a great start.Īlexis Badiyi: The Issey Miyake show was an emotional experience. We left our luggage and discarded plane outfits in the car and made our mid-week PFW debut.

We pulled up to the Paris Event Center and kicked open the car doors, in awe we had made it on time, not even the 30-minutes-late “on time” shows tend to go by. Having done our makeup on the plane and slogged through customs, all that was left to do was light a candle to the traffic gods.
