That’s a Wrap: Milan and Paris Fashion Week
By Olivia Lazorick
One key part of saying goodbye to summer and entering fall is seeing new styles and collections debut in Fashion Week. Just recently, Milan and Paris Fashion Week displayed new collections, brands, and trends that inspired many fashion enthusiasts to speculate about what lies ahead in the coming spring and summer seasons.
In the 2027 Spring and Summer Fashion Week, Milan showcased many new collections from designers all around the world at a prominent event, Vogue World: Milan. Vogue World: Milan celebrated human art and creation in the face of artificial intelligence. It showcased the relationship between the evolving, ever-present technology and its impact on fashion. Vogue World: Milan was certainly memorable because it highlighted human craftsmanship and creativity without the presence of AI, something that has become increasingly problematic in the creative space. Some notable celebrities in attendance included Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Hunter Schafer, and Dakota Johnson.
While Milan Fashion Week displayed many incredible looks, Paris Fashion Week tends to hold more importance to fashion lovers and attracts more celebrities. The Miu Miu show was one of many that seemed to focus on streetwear and the evolution of fashion. Many celebrities made front-row appearances at this show, such as Mckenna Grace, Joey King, and Lili Reinhart. Gigi Hadid, who is currently one of the most influential models in the world, walked in this show wearing a casual bra top and jeweled skirt. Chanel’s show focused on fabric and material innovation, with tweed sets and dresses being a defining style, along with other texturally unique outfits. The Chanel show displayed one of the most unique collections at Paris Fashion Week.
The Louis Vuitton show ended this eventful week on a high note. Held at the Louvre, the show embraced both the history of the building and the future of our world with its 34 flying cars. It is said that Louis Vuitton’s artistic director, Nicolas Ghesquière, consistently has a futurist approach to fashion, which was clearly apparent in his latest collection. Models were seen in beaded silver fringe, featherlight fabrics, and freefloating silhouettes. This show will forever be remembered in the fashion world.
These two fashion weeks have given us a sneak peak at what the upcoming 2027 spring and summer season is going to look like and have set a precedent for other brands. Most importantly, the Paris and Milan fashion weeks demonstrated the importance of fashion to human expression, ending this season on a high note.
