Kaia Gerber opened the Valentino Haute Couture Fall Winter 2023/2024 show in a crisp white button-up shirt, oversized chandelier earrings, slip-on mules and a deceptive pair of "denim" jeans. This seemingly simple look that opened the designer collection was actually crafted from thousands and thousands of meticulously placed beads to create the illusion of textured denim.
Pierpaolo Piccioli's show at the Château de Chantilly was one of the most highly anticipated events of Paris Couture Week and it consisted of oversized red suits with mirrored appliqués, as well as lilac and lavender-ruffled crumpet dresses. Color was prevalent throughout the couture collection, along with maximalist accessories.
Set against a cinematic setting, this high-fashion collection exuded a larger-than-life personality and glamour.
