Models strutted down the stage of a packed
music hall on the Seine River in deconstructed garments slit to
show patches of bare skin, draped with chains and layered with
bold-shouldered jackets or trench coats that swept the floor.
At the end of the show, the designer took his bow before the
cheering crowd, flanked by over a dozen models wearing fanciful
dresses coated in sequins.
The label hosted thousands of fans at the hall for a two-day
festival that included performances from Jesse Jo Stark, Doja
Cat and Franz Ferdinand.
Dozens of brands are holding in-person fashion shows during
Paris Fashion Week which runs through Oct. 5, as slower COVID-19
infection rates and the easing of restrictions allowed the
resumption of events paused during the peak of the pandemic.
Showgoers at the Balmain festival could buy food and drinks as
well as branded merchandise including sneakers priced at 850
euros ($986) and bags of hair cosmetics.
