FASHION Paris Fashion Week 2021

Paris Fashion week is an event held at multiple venues throughout the city filled with presentations from a series of designers.

This year it was held from Tuesday 28th September to Wednesday 6th October featuring well known designers such as Givenchy, Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Chanel and many more. Over a hundred different brands come together parading the capital with shows however Covid 19 has put strain on this. Only a third of designers had in-person shows but it was high in participation in comparison to the completely digital program that was held last season. Paris Fashion Week is one of the Big Four with London, Milan and New York Fashion Week all participating together to deliver fashion from across the world in a series of innovative shows.

The Sorrowful Finale

Paris fashion week this year ended on an emotional note as many paid their respects to the late Alber Elbaz, the creative director of Lanvin, a highly internationally respected fashion house. He sadly passed earlier this year and was honoured by 45 of the worlds leading fashion houses paying tribute to the designer in the incredible closing show. After featuring a variety of looks that Elbaz’s factory design team had created the show eventually ended in Amber Valetta in the spotlight wearing Elbaz’s signature look.

Controversial content

However, a part of fashion is expressionism, making bold statements through only the impression of the garment, but this does not go without controversy. As a single necklace featuring in Paris fashion week gave Givenchy titles such as ‘outrage marketing’ ‘glamorising suicide’ and much more due to a social media outbreak over a noose styled necklace produced by the luxury fashion brand.
