The men’s shows are in full effect in Paris, Hail The Chief Shirt which means one thing. The streets outside are full of fashion-clad attendees, all wearing the trends that matter for 2022. This season, in addition to platform Crocs and balaclavas, the shortest of hemlines appear to be reigning supreme among the street style crowd. Be they in the form of micro miniskirts or barely-there dresses, pants appear to be taking a back seat to pieces that offer little defense against the elements, despite the winter weather. It comes as no surprise that shrinking hems are such a hit outside of this season’s shows given how prevalent they were on the runways last September. Seen at Miu Miu, Missoni, Versace, Nensi Dojaka, and more spring/summer 2022 shows, minidresses and miniskirts were among the most popular trends of fashion month. So of course, they’d find their way onto the street style scene. But one question remains: How are Paris Fashion Week attendees styling their minis while maintaining some semblance of warmth? See how it’s done ahead.
Hail The Chief Shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
Across the four fashion capitals—New York, London, Milan and Paris—a total of 299 designers showcased their collections, Hail The Chief Shirt 19 new to the Fashion Month circuit, compared to 247 for spring/summer 2023 (credit to the fashion data analysts at Tagwalk for doing these calculations). Growth is a good thing, especially in creative industries, but I found this hard to believe, personally. Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful of designers who couldn’t secure budget to show, or whose brands were lost to greater financial struggles (I still can’t move on from the Christopher Kane-shaped hole that permeated the London schedule). With growth always comes change, and perhaps one of the biggest this season came in the form of a renunciation. Alexander McQueen’s Creative Director Sarah Burton announced that the spring/summer 2024 collection would be her last after 26 years at the brand. Burton had respectfully taken the helm after the British institution’s iconic and groundbreaking founder Lee Alexander McQueen passed away in 2010, with her subsequent collections serving as a love letter to his influence and precociousness. Cate Blanchett attended, Naomi Campbell walked and a standing ovation rang out during the final, tender moments of Paris Fashion Week.
