Paris Couture Week kicks off today with an online showcase instead of the usual lavish shows held across the French capital.
Designers will be showing smaller collections digitally or, in some cases, no new creations at all, focusing instead on films, photos and collaborations in the hope of keeping audiences engaged. It’s fair to say there are mixed feelings about the digital format.
Silvia Venturini Fendi for instance has selected one look from each of Fendi’s former couture collections, shown between 2015 and 2019, most of them designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld. The outfits were photographed against the backdrop of the Palazzo della Civiltà, Fendi’s headquarters in Rome and home to its couture ateliers.
