A new season of haute couture fashion shows ends in beauty at the Petit Palais

If there is one event not to be missed during haute couture week in Paris, it is the closing evening of the season organized by the Fédération de la haute couture et de la mode – which also revealed its new, shorter, more contemporary name. In front of the stairs of the Petit Palais, illuminated with violet light, photographers watched for the arrival of prestigious guests. Thus the passers-by could see the silhouettes of Maria Grazia Chiuri, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac or Alexandra Golovanoff in their Sunday clothes. A chic merry-go-round that turned the heads of the curious. New this season is the discovery of the Federation’s brand new logo at the end of a green driveway. But the heart of the evening was in the gardens. You could see Sidney Toledano and Pascal Morand chatting with all their guests, or Simon Porte Jacquemus and Marlon Magnée getting carried away by Ray BLK’s live show, among the crowd of prestigious guests. I can’t wait for next season…
