After making a splash at New York Fashion Week, Peter Do finally made his Paris debut with a collection that was equal parts seductive and refined. Each item, such as pants and blazers, had at least two of the five main colors: white, black, gray, camel, and crimson.
But it was Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Christian Dior show that everyone was talking about. There was a video projection by artist Elena Bellantoni playing in the background, which invoked strong feminist slogans like “I Don’t Belong To Anyone Else,” “My Body Is Not A Product,” and “I Am Not Your Doll.” Dresses, blazers, gowns, skirts, and black coats worn atop white shirts were among the styles on display.
