From February 27 to March 7, Paris Women’s Fashion Week promises a dense week, with 106 brands registered. Highly anticipated, the shows of Dior and Yves Saint Laurent opened the ball with class and elegance. While the emotion was strong at the show of Paco Rabanne, a month after his death.
Fashion lovers are spoiled. After London and New York, then Milan last week, it is the turn of Paris to host the great luxury houses. The fashion capital had already hosted the Fashion Week Haute Couture last January. Until March 7, the major brands unveil their ready-to-wear creations for the fall-winter 2023-2024.
On Tuesday, Dior and Saint Laurent, the brands of rival groups LVMH and Kering, dazzled Paris. Paco Rabanne’s show was held yesterday, paying tribute to the designer’s previous collections. Celebrities, journalists and influencers were obviously present to attend the shows.
The women of Christian Dior
It is in a psychedelic decor signed Joana Vasconcelos, under a huge tent installed in the Tuileries garden, that Dior presented its collection. And it met all expectations. The brand paid tribute to the 1950s, as well as to the post-war period and Christian Dior’s first fashion show. This made it easier to understand the enigmatic publications on the networks in recent days, which traced moments in the lives of Juliette Gréco, Edith Piaf and Catherine Dior. “These years are very important for the house created in 1947”, said Maria Grazia Chiuri, the Italian designer of the brand. “I also wanted to do a collection inspired by Paris because we have more of an idea of what happened in America in the 1950s.”

In front of the 1500 guests, the models parade in outfits faithful to the wardrobe of the time. Fitted dresses, corolla skirts and small jackets are in the spotlight, but the designer has pushed her textile research further with the use of invisible nylon threads to give them a crumpled and blistered consistency. Another reference to the post-war years is the headwear, variations of caps and berets, as well as long gloves that enhance the silhouette. Despite a sparing use of colors, we still note the great use of floral prints, as well as leopard prints, a signature of Dior.
Note also, the significant presence of stars for this star House. The rising figure of modeling, Deva Cassel, was in the front row after having walked the runway of Dolce & Gabbana. Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel’s daughter was not the only one to attract attention, as South African actress Charlize Theron was also present in an immaculate fringed dress. As well as the Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni and actors Gal Gadot (“Wonder Woman“) and Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones“).
Natural elegance
For his part, Yves Saint Laurent scored big with the privatization of the Trocadero and the installation of a gigantic rectangular box to house his fashion show. The interior reproduced the ballroom of the InterContinental Hotel in Paris, where Yves Saint Laurent presented his haute couture collections between 1975 and 2001.
Another surprise was the turn taken by the house’s artistic director. Anthony Vaccarello is well known for his sharp looks, highlighting the female figure. But the designer wanted to explore a simpler but effective style this time.
“I wanted to focus on elegance, even though it doesn’t really make sense today, and maybe that’s fine, people have moved on”, explains Anthony Vaccarello. “I wanted to sketch out a daytime wardrobe, with skirt suits that Mr. Saint Laurent used to do a lot, but ‘twisting’ them, making them a little strange.”
Models walked the runway in oversized off-the-shoulder suit jackets, slit skirts and low-cut tank tops. Wearing patent pumps, they also sported gold or silver cuffs, ear clips and large black glasses. The elegance still shows in the attitude of these women in cashmere leggings, oversized bomber and muslin skirts, hands in pockets and without bag. With this show, this objective of “wearable” fashion is totally fulfilled by Kering’s flagship brand.
Creative Utopia
The House of Paco Rabanne presented its Women’s Ready-to-Wear collection on Wednesday March 1. The historic house made its return, after having deserted the Fashion Week of women’s ready-to-wear since the pandemic. Julien Dossena, the house’s French artistic director, paid tribute to the designer, who died last month. Nicknamed “the metallurgist of fashion”, Paco Rabanne leaves a legacy and a conception of fashion very singular.
“Thank you Mr. Rabanne for your creative utopia that pushed the boundaries of reality”, said the artistic director of the house, Julien Dossena.

To close the show, models in gold and silver dresses walked the runway, evoking the avant-garde creations of Paco Rabanne, including his 1966 collection, 12 improbable dresses in contemporary materials, to immediate success. The actresses Juliette Binoche, Marina Foïs, and Leila Bekhti or the influencer Lena Situations, did not want to miss the event.
