1. Dior
In her latest collection for Christian Dior, Maria Gratzia Chiuri posits a simple question: “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” While the answer to that question is long and plentifold, Chiuri sets out to straighten the record herself by supporting the work of French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle (who once modelled for Marc Bohan).
De Saint Phalle’s sculptures of Tarot-inspired mystical female figures formed the setting for the show, and her symbols are a common motif on the pieces. Chiuri’s youthful spin can still be found throughout the collection, with no shortage of shorts, low heels and denim—with plenty of tulle, of course.
2. Saint Laurent
Set in front of what spectactors are calling the most epic fashion show backdrop ever, the Eiffel Tower, Anthony Vaccarello’s latest collection for Saint Laurent was nothing short of dazzling. In the wake of co-founder Pierre Bergé’s death, the collection paid homage to the iconic fashion house’s roots while boldly taking sartorial risks as the founders were known to do.
From thigh-high ostrich feathered boots to the most mini of mini bubble dresses, it was a celebration of romance, freedom and unapologetic style—everything that Paris and Yves Saint Laurent stood for.

3. Chloe
Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton alumnus Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s much-anticipated debut for Chloe did not disappoint, with spectators lauding her ability to stay true to the brand’s decidedly bohemian DNA while infusing her new flavour into the pieces. Chloe girls strutted down the runway in calf-length denim, pantsuits covered in horse motifs, embossed snake-skin everything and, most importantly, multi-strap crossbody bags that will no doubt find their way onto every It-girl’s arm before the snow melts.
