Satisfashion UG Picks: Our Most Memorable Fashion Moments from Haute Couture Week

The designers brought their A-game!

Share:

Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week took place in France this week between July 3 and July 6 and bespoke designers from Schiaparelli to Valentino and Fendi showcased their Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023/2024 collections in the most magnificent locations featuring the most famous models and the biggest names in the world sitting front row to see all the new fashion and style trends as they made their way down the French runways. Models hit the runways in avant-garde, over-the-top looks and being haute couture week designers couldn’t resist from bringing the drama, either in the silhouettes, accessories or the models they chose to walk for them.

To properly mark the end of haute couture week, Satisfashion UG has chosen its most memorable fashion moments that we all won’t forget any time soon, see more below:

Schiaparelli’s Artist-Centric AW Show

To emphasise his focus on the human hand, Roseberry dedicated his collection to the artists that always orbited the world of Schiaparelli. “In this collection, each piece has been somehow inspired by an artist, either one of Elsa’s time, or mid-century, or of our own,” he explained, listing some of the works that inspired the looks: a hand-painted body informed by Lucian Freud echoed in a sequined body stocking; a broken-mirror cardigan and skirt based on the mosaics of Jack Whitten; and Klein-blue powder scattered on bodies and garments in homage to old Yves. The spirit of Salvador Dalí, inseparably connected to the house’s history, possessed sunset degrades, and the form language of Giacometti and Lalanne infused the jewellery.

Viktor & Rolf’s 30th Anniversary Show

Viktor & Rolf the brand is 30-years-old, and Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren’s one-of-a-kind surrealist and (sometimes rather disquieting) humorous take on fashion hasn’t dimmed in the least. Their ironical, topsy-turvy spirit is still intact, and today’s couture show was pure V&R tongue-in-cheek-conceptual entertainment. Instead of transforming their anniversary collection into a parade of humongous, ballooning dresses in the predictable shape of improbable Viktor & Rolf-ish birthday cakes, they went the opposite route. “We wanted the celebration to be about the tiniest garment there is—the bathing suit,” they said backstage

Thom Browne’s Railway Station inspired Debut Show in Paris

The show took inspiration from a bustling railway station. Some models were dressed as passengers, wearing sequin tartan skirt suits or patchwork overcoats and carrying large versions of the brand’s plush Hector bags; others embodied the on-the-hour bells of a station clock, wearing cloche hats and bulbous wool coats. Two models in diaphanous silk coat dresses in gray and white represented gargoyles — their looks completed by headpieces of a gnarled countenance. Even the humble pigeon was elevated by models clad in molded jackets hand sewn with a cascade of silk-cotton feathers.

Balenciaga’s Chrome-plated, 3D-printed armor dress

The 3D dress that has been 10 months in the making and was the look that closed Denma’s haute couture show this season.
