One year into the pandemic, some souvenirs from PFW AW21: The pleasure and privilege of showroom/studio visits; an exceptional drive-in show; and large-scale film productions instead of in-person events. To everyone who couldn’t be here, and to everyone who was here just not together, I missed you most of all. I also missed the venue discoveries; the music; the shock of the new, even when you think you’ve seen it all; the magic of Paris that everyone experiences for nine straight days. Since I can only post one story link, in bio are some impressions in further detail. But if you can find this second piece — what a host of designers and other insiders were missing most — it delivers some quality nostalgia: https://www.vogue.com/article/what-we-missed-paris-fashion-week See you next season, with any hope.
