In Paris, the Dawn of Resonance

Beyond the mouth-watering, show-stopping fixtures of the Parisian runways, clothes had a genuine feel of freedom imbued with a subtle air of poignancy. From Casablanca’s rodeo-inspired collection to the incredibly-crafted menswear presented by the likes of Dries Van Noten, Amiri and Louis Vuitton, fluidity run apace: volumes were tamed, with a gentle power that saw a panoply of offerings veering into the genderless. Which is why, as gender conversations become increasingly commonplace, Paris may have given a masterclass in hope-tinged glory. A glory, that is, that mixes inclusivity and prowess
