Paris Haute Couture Week reveals the desire for luxury, art, to touch beauty. From Dior with its textured embroidery to Chanel with its dresses encrusted with brushstrokes, flowers and sequins like an impressionist painting to the creations of Kim Jones for Fendi that evoke the plasticity of marble sculptures, the designers bring to the runway pieces that seem to be made not only to be worn, but to be touched, experienced fully with all the senses.
This is the most interesting aspect emerging from the FW21 couture collections, but during the week there were also some hype moments related to Balenciaga‘s comeback to high fashion (the last show dates back to 1968) and the debut of Chitose Abe as creative director of Jean Paul Gaultier.
Here are the 4 coolest collections from Paris Haute Couture Week FW21.
