Paul & Joe, a London fashion show in wonderland

The decor.

For the third consecutive season, Sophie Mechaly's brand is exporting across the Channel to present its collection.

The setting for this new summer fashion show is naturally

the Langhan Hotel in Marylebone is one of the city's first grand hotels built in the Victorian era.

Despite the period of national mourning which disrupts the calendar of the week of British shows, Paul & Joe persists and signs for London Fashion Week, with the firm intention of offering it an enchanted interlude.

The look.

Always graceful, a bit mischievous and tangy, the aesthetic universe of the Parisian brand ventures into the garden for spring-summer 2023. An ethereal garden where young girls in bloom adorn themselves with silk dresses with an empire waist or in embroidered organza, a boater on the head.

Scarves also hold back the models' hair.

These were cut this week in the same fabric as that of certain dresses, in homage to those worn by Queen Elizabeth II.

Omnipresent, flowers are available in watercolor prints or carpets of daisies.

A poetic allure, enhanced with slightly pop 60s references, such as gingham check blouses, pastel tweed outfits, patent leather shoes.

Aimee-Lou Wood, the singer Soko and her daughter, the French influencer Léna Mahfouf and even, despite the protocol, the DJ and British aristocrat Lady Mary Charteris were in the (garden) party.
