This year’s Paris fashion week was all about a political sense of womanhood and a general urge to protest that, despite the inevitable high and lows of the runway, felt energising. Woman power is very much on designers’ minds and that includes an unprecedented revamp of in-your-face sensuality. In this sense, both Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy and Olivier Rousteing of Balmain — Kim Kardashian notwithstanding and despite having widely lost their edge — can be seen as feminists, because there is much more to feminism than a long skirt and a corduroy blazer, which are such a cliché. Both designers do not claim the label; they just delve into the imagery of the towering ultravixen. — BOF

This season the least ordinary of them all was Rick Owens: the morphing, vortex-like shapes he produced this season have both substance and an eerie levity, an opulence that felt unbalanced and collapsing, and thus progressive.
Demna Gvasalia stood out with his deliberately harsh and infinitely cynical take on fetish that revolved around spandex, glaring hues and blatant nods to the city suburbs: humongous shopping bags and lurid florals.
Simon Jacquemus presented his SS17 collection inspired by women living in Southern France: straw hats and a lightning that reminded us of the sun, using volume in genius ways, lacework, soft cotton, and abstract shapes.
The new creative director of Lanvin, Bouchra Jarrar: transparent fabrics, shiny accessories, and a laid-back silhouette was the center of the show while the flattering shape given to every piece was right to the point.
