Paris Fashion Week kicked off with a flurry of activity. After arriving at Charles de Gaulle and checking into Hotel Balzac, the day started with a relaxing spa session at Spa Ikoi. The first preview was Jacques Marie Mage, showcasing a collection inspired by surfer Bunker Spreckels, including exclusive $25k skull-and-crossbones rings. Later, Kanika Agarwal unveiled her second collection, rich in embellishments and airy fabrics, just as her debut was picked up by SSENSE. The next day began with a pilates class featuring Live The Process’ cotton workout wear, followed by a hair appointment with David Mallett. A Dior re-see at the Jardin de Tuileries revealed clients flaunting archival Galliano pieces. The highlight was the launch of John Galliano’s collaboration with Zara, a pop-up installation that blends his iconic style with accessible fashion. The collection ranges from $59 accessories to $999 gowns, featuring unique pieces like spliced ragdoll skirts and a whimsical wool flower hat. In beauty news, Michele Duncan's Atlas Atelier makeup line launched on Violet Grey, offering a lip product, eyeliner, and blush. A dinner by Kassandre Paris showcased their impressive leather bags, and whispers about a new hotel in Porto by a former David Mallett manager added to the buzz. It’s an exciting time in Paris, with fashion and beauty making waves!
