Though spring had not yet sprung, several days of sunshine and blue skies during Paris Fashion Week in early March had people ditching the winter garb they had packed for lighter, brighter attire. For some, this required a bit of emergency shopping.
In and outside shows, a theme that seemed to inspire ensembles was the deep relationship between fashion and rock ’n’ roll. It manifested on the streets in forms that included leather jackets, flared pants and hairstyles that were sharp, angular and gelled.
On the runway, the Japanese brand Undercover leaned heavily into rocker style, presenting a collection that appeared to take inspiration from female performers like Patti Smith and Kim Gordon. Junya Watanabe offered a more abstract interpretation in looks that married bell bottoms with fanciful tops and seemed tailor-made for the singer Björk. Her presence was also in the air at the Acne Studios show, where a remix of her song “Human Behavior” was part of the soundtrack.
