Paris Fashion Week kicked off on Monday, notably with the Off-White fall-winter 2022-2023 show. A ready-to-wear show that hid another, more “couture” show, with a huge cast.


The decor.

A huge crystal chandelier sits in the center of the Palais Brongniart, in Paris.

Opening Fall/Winter 22-23 Fashion Week, the Off-White show gave its first show without its founder and designer Virgil Abloh, who died at the age of 41 following cancer last December.

The decor is only composed of this imposing luminaire and a wall of transparent enclosures is minimalist.

Here, no frills: the real spectacle is that of the collection.

The look.

As part of the legacy of the work of its late artistic director, the Off-White collection is a resolutely cool mix of influences.

The label digs into the streetwear repertoire for a silhouette that plays on volumes, sexy but also cozy.

The mini-dress is worn with a maxi-padded jacket, fleeces printed from head to toe, large openwork jumpers combined...

layering

holds a special place in this charismatic wardrobe, crowned with riding bombs.

From the tartan kilt to the sun-coloured shearling, passing by the oversized accordion boots on the ankles of the models, each piece is calibrated for success.

Virgil Abloh's hit machine is still running.

Off-White couture.

The show does not stop there.

After a final in good and due form, Off-White offers a second fashion show to its audience, and not the least.

Make way for the Off-White version of couture, a tribute to Abloh-style syncretism.

The glamorous vocabulary is combined with the more than perfect street in a series of spectacular silhouettes, worn by the greatest models.

On the program for these “very exquisite corpses” looks: cascades of tulle under varsity jackets, bustier dresses and sculptural skirts with logo T-shirts and evening dresses accessorized with oversized bags.

The bride closes the show, wearing a bombshell, crop top and tagged white petticoat.

The front row.

It's past eight 40 minutes late when Rihanna and A$ap Rocky make their entrance.

The show was just waiting for the couple to start.

Before them, other celebrities like Pharrell Williams have been spotted in the front row.

But the stars of the evening are actually on the podium.

Tennis player Serena Williams for ready-to-wear, then Bella and Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner, Cindy Crawford and her daughter Kaia Gerber, Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson who lights up a cigarette or even Amber Valletta for to name a few, formed the exceptional cast of the parade.

Further proof, if needed, of the mark left by Virgil Abloh on fashion.
