Fashion Week Recap

with a side of relentess parisian heat wave

I knew going into this trip that Paris was battling a historic heat wave but I really underestimated what 37°C/80°F would really feel like IRL.

Packing for this trip proved to be challenging… how does one look fashion week appropriate while they are sweating from unimaginable corners of their body?

The type A in me really comes to life when packing, I have to try on every outfit idea/concept and then take a flatlay picture for reference while i’m away. (LEFT) Anteros button up shirt, Jacquemus Pochette bag, COS belt, FWA skirt, The Row strappy heels. (RIGHT) Ralph Lauren teal mens button up, Le Febour bag, Alll Three mini shorts (which are my new obsession by the way), Nou heels.

I stayed at two new hotels — The Westminster in the 2nd, super well situated, old world charm and in a “fancier” pocket of the city. My experience was unfortunately affected due to AC and elevators being down during my visit… I’ll probably give this hotel another shot though. I also stayed at the Experimental in the Marais which is also very well situated, steps away from so many great vintage shops, restaurants and cafés. Also really cute/quirky vibe.

Unsurprisingly, I was debilitatingly hot in this Anteros button up and eventually had to go home to shower and change before heading out to dinner :)

JW Anderson Presentation

I was able to visit the JW Anderson, ERL and SSSTEIN presentations on behalf of Exhibition Magazine who I am working with to do a little fashion week coverage which, transparently, I am VERY excited about.

Ssstein SPRING 27 presentation.

On day 2, I boldly decided to wear these D Squared pants I just thrifted but in 36°C weather, my body was a prisoner.

Polo Ralph Lauren Sunglasses that are my new obsession, I am physically incapable of reaching for another pair of sunglasses. Also wearing Jacquemus Turismo bag, Christopher Esber jelly flats and Adanola halter top.

I did a little bit of shopping!! Prada light pink poplin top and hot pink Miu Miu pumps. Also, I have been on the hunt for the perfect cooking apron for almost 2 years. I found it at the london-based Jihan pop up.

Apron came with this cutie oven mit and trivet. Brand was called Kangaroo and so many cute little knick nacks (spelling…?)

Christopher Esber cocktail at Chateau Voltaire (also a gorgeous hotel with visiting).

The next leg of the trip was in Corsica with Jacquemus. It’s really hard to boil it down to just a few moments because the entire thing was just exceptional. This was my 3rd Jacquemus show and one thing that remains a constant is how incredibly intentional Simon Jacquemus’ shows are. From the collection, the venue, the music.. its hard to absorb all the details.

A boat, pulling a string of sailboats that spell out JACQUEMUS while the show was taking place.

My look for the show — The pina dress, a teal blue suede Valerie and brown heels

The color stories for this look were MESMERIZING.

This might have been my favorite look.

Post show, beach-side lunch in my Muji bloomers (something similar) and Dolla Paris swim suit.

The last evening in Corsica was spent having an intimate dinner at a farm followed by 5 beautiful hours of dancing at an outdoor local bar under a full moon and some distant lightning. Truly magical.

Unfortunately, no links for this outfit since everything was vintage/thrifted, but hopefully color blocking inspo?? Vintage T, D Squared capris, unnamed clutch and Helmut Lang heels.
