As Fall 2020 comes to an end, I would like to reflect on a few standout shows. The pandemic has forced many designers to cancel shows and rethink the whole concept of runway shows. Veronica Friedman of the New York Times attended four shows in Paris last fall, let’s get in to it. First, she stopped by the Rick Owens show that featured the brand’s signature gloomy aesthetic.
Then, she sat in for Virgil’s celeb packed Off White show.
After, she reviewed Paco Rabanne’s transitional collection.
And her final stop was at the Loewe show that displayed twists on different styles over the last few centuries.
Now Baddies, when reading Ms.Friedman’s article watch out for these terms:
