The pre-disco Seventies, a major runway trend, also paid a visit to Paul & Joe for spring. Creative director Sophie Mechaly extensively riffed on the decade’s aesthetic, though she infused it with the insouciance of a charming Parisienne.
Case in point: the flowy, printed maxidresses and the delightful mix-and-match motifs, such as a paisley with a poppy for certain looks, as well as the apron dress shown with a blouse in a different pattern. The clothes skewed young, or young-in-spirit anyway, and could easily be imagined on the chic attendees in the show’s front row — who included Atlanta de Cadenet and Olivia Palermo — although uberpolished social types are more likely to embrace them when off-duty.
