The Paris Street Style Scene Has Never Looked Better
Cute outfit ideas coming your way.
Over the past few weeks, designers across New York, London, and Milan have presented their fall 2024 collections to rooms full of style insiders. Now, it’s the French fashion houses’ time to shine. Indeed, the last leg of fashion month is underway: Paris. The city of lights is the longest stop (nine days with over 70 shows and 38 presentations, NBD), and some might say it’s the most glamorous, too. Then again, when you have famed fashion houses like Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Miu Miu as mainstays on the schedule, how could it not be? The grand spectacle is not all about the catwalks, though; the street style at Paris Fashion Week is equally as awe-inspiring.
The Dior show always draws in a large crowd from all corners of the industry — influencers, editors, and stylists included — and this season, it felt like everyone who's anyone was in attendance. Case in point: Big names like Yoyo Cao, Charlotte Groeneveld, and Amina Muaddi have all made an appearances thus far, each dressed in chic black and white look (presumably courtesy of the luxury label). Other memorable moments? When fashion girls arrived in droves to take in Ester Manas’ latest designs, wearing punchy, print-heavy looks — a signature for the emerging Brussels-based brand.
