Lifestyle | Fashion It’s couture season! And this season is particularly hyped, as Paris is swept up in sports-fever as the Olympics countdown is on. As such, the Haute Couture schedule came with an athletic Vogue World precursor — complete with Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner doing a lap of the Place Vendôme on horseback — before the Schiaparelli saw the week get in full swing. Kylie Jenner , who in recent seasons has become something of a Schiaparelli ambassador, lead arrivals in a powder pink, crystal embellished corset prom gown complete with a colour-matched, sheer sheet wrapped over her face.
She joined the likes of Anitta, Selma Blair and Doja Cat, another die-hard fan of the house’s creative director Daniel Roseberry , on the front row. Dior’s star-studded offering followed, with Blackpink’s Jisoo , a face of the fashion house since 2021, and Jennifer Lopez causing commotion on arrival. Also watching Maria Grazia-Chiuri’s offering this Autumn Winter 2024/25 season was Bollywood star and top client Sonam Kapoor , Saltburn’s Rosamund Pike — not to mention another outing from Doja Cat.
Completing day one of the schedule was Thom Browne , the American designer with an enviable network thanks to his husband Andrew Bolton, who is curator at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a close collaborator with Anna Wintour. As such, the Global Chief Content Officer of Condé Nast sat front row alongside Bolton and tennis legend Serena Will.
