Part 2: Exploring Exhibitions
Beyond the runway shows, Paris Fashion Week also offered a glimpse into the rich history and legacy of fashion through its exhibitions.
The Saint Laurent Transparences exhibition, designed by the architect Pauline Marchetti, whose work explores the intersection of perception and space, showcasing designs by the legendary Yves Saint Laurent, which was presented at the The Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris. The exhibition was a masterful showcase of the brand's iconic designs. From the iconic topless sheer blouse from the couturier’s spring-summer 1968 collection, to the black chiffon dress with a belt of ostrich feathers from the following collection. Each of the 40 piece spoke to the timeless sophistication of the Saint Laurent brand.
"I've worked for quite some time now with diaphanous fabrics. The important thing is to maintain their mysterious nature... I think I've done the best I could for the liberation of women. I created clothes that were perfectly in sync with the twenty-first century" Yves Saint Laurent
Meanwhile, the exhibition by IRIS VAN HERPEN offered a more contemporary perspective, showcasing the Dutch designer's cutting-edge creations. It was a surreal experience to see dresses worn by icons such as Beyoncé at the Renaissance Tour and Grimes at the Met Gala up close, each piece a testament to Van Herpen's bold and boundary-pushing approach to fashion.
As we reflect on our time at Paris Fashion Week, we are reminded of the boundless creativity and innovation that defines the world of fashion. The Global Fashion Collective's dedication to providing a platform for emerging designers ensured that each show was a dynamic and diverse celebration of talent from around the globe. Paris truly is the beating heart of the fashion world, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this dynamic industry.
