PARIS Autumn/ Winter 2025-26

Paris, with her magical neighborhoods and iconic monument s, will be the shining s tar in the years to come. The city has bet on its longevity by introducing a slow movement of gradual change. And at this very difficult moment in time, with so many doubts and such immense pain, suddenly the ci t y pamper s us, comforts us, and seduces us. From the tradition of tweeds, lingerie, and checks to the ci t y ’s gardens, café culture, and bakeries, from flea market finds to couture and the allure of revolutionaries, existentialists, sur realis t s and street urchins, fashion t rends return to the standards of easy elegance and a just spirit, to inspire us to live more simply.. — L.E.
