The Olympic Games may be the talk of the town in Paris but, this week, fashion reigns supreme in the City of Light. Amid the many road closures and ensuing traffic disruptions in the lead up to the global sporting event, the world’s top fashion brands have descended upon the French capital.

The haute couture shows, which feature collections from storied French houses such as Chanel and Dior, are officially underway, showcasing the pinnacle of fashion: one-of-a-kind garments intended for a privileged few and for showstopping red-carpet appearances.

Here are two highlights from the first day of the autumn/winter haute couture 2024 shows.

Schiaparelli

Historic couture house Schiaparelli, helmed by American designer Daniel Roseberry, has been expanding its ready-to-wear and accessories business, most recently with a temporary store in Monaco. But the brand truly shines at couture.

For autumn/winter 2024, Roseberry was inspired by the personal wardrobe of house founder Elsa Schiaparelli – in particular, a painted gown paired with a feathered stole she wore in the early 40s.

That reference translated into power-shoulder jackets, bustier dresses, dramatic capes and other striking looks. Some of the pieces revealed their inner construction – all the better to showcase the savoir faire behind couture clothes.

Among the best looks were the brand’s signature monochrome outfits with gold accents – which are certain to become collectibles for the maison’s loyal clients – as well as dresses with Surrealist-inspired touches such as shoe heels incorporated into the silhouettes.
