Hybrid fashion and Web3 vibe at Paris Fashion Week

We’re on the final leg of the Autumn 2023 collections, so it's understandable if you’ve got season fatigue by Paris Fashion Week A/W’23. When India is losing its soft sun-kissed weather, Parisian street style is brimming with mixed fashion from young and well-established designers to known TikTokers and influencers. Brands spread their magic in the ‘city of lights’ all over again while many fashion giants got there to forage their fashion thirsts. The good news is when you are in Paris, everyone always brings out the best of the best for their belovedParee.
So it's like one side internet is draining your 3% left juice over “Selena Vs. Hailey Webwar of kindness and denial”, get a recharge walking around watching Paris giving you shows with sobriety and extravaganza of robot dogs flirting with models in the centre of the stage. While horse whisperers have their live session with the Stella

McCartney collection, Nicolas Ghesquière shows his “audacious tradition” at the L.V. Show. And Pierpaolo Piccioli welcomed Priyanka and Nick in a twin prints ensemble at Valentino.
Well, Nina Ricci and Ann Demeulemeester did tap on gender-fluid and body-positive sensibilities. One gets all over the Web3 space with what's up Paris where fashion indeed IS ON and giving us Gen-next goals. Victor Weinsanto studied Ballet, notably dancing at John Cranko Schule in Stuttgart. One day he realized he wanted to be a fashion designer and started training at Atelier Chardon Savard School in Paris. Working with major Parisian brands like Y/Project, Chloè and Jean Paul Gaultier he launched his namesake line in 2020 and this year he got his collection to PFW which is pretty much a reflection of his love for performing arts, he brought colourful cabaret-themed presentation.


He said this time around fashion week in Paris “The most important thing in fashion and it always has been that everything is always new and we want always something new.” now when we talk about new what do we


gaze from PFW A/W23 season? Let's talk about the most apparent glimpses.


Where did the pants go?


Is this the latest trend in fashion? Ending of ‘22 we spotted Kylie wearing Loewe Ganji with underpants and an oversized coat walking around, but the trend got hyped by Hailey Bieber her partner is senseless crimes and even Emrata AKA Emily Ratajkowski later. This season “No Pants” in A/W23 got officially launched by brands and celebs. Miu-Miu had bling shorts in their showcase along with Kimhekim flaunting underpants with a cropped jackets while Celine Dion wearing No Pants to Paris A/W ‘23 followed right after Couture Week back to back is setting a benchmark.

Everything is fair in love, war and fashion and that's the mantra we need to follow whether pants or No Pants.


Cartoonifying Puffy


Brands have puffed up their already existing designs to turn into A/W’23 collections. L.v. Turned their accessories into aired-up puffy petit purses while Prada followed the puffy anthem of cartoonifying their collection.


Clothing and accessories are better suited to puffed digital avatars than being normally textured. Jean Baudrillard, a French sociologist defined “hyperreality” as the inability to distinguish reality from its representation of it. Puffy cartoonification of fashion goods such as Prada’s puffy shoes and handbags or loafers that look more like playthings than functional objects as well as Loewe’s 8-bit hoodies seems perfectly crafted for a video game. Those oversized big red boots by MSCHF have taken the internet’s all attention it's an abstraction that is Boing designers over reality.


Pixelated 3D Garments


A video game’s pixelated rendering of clothing, the inability to distinguish reality from web3 space, a concept that many brands like Loewe mine by bringing simulacra of real-life objects. As the boundaries continue to blur between the metaverse and physical clothing, it's no brainer that fashion is exploring the best of both and sailing in two boats of reality and virtual reality. Balenciaga’s stompers appear to have been designed in Rhino3D to look more like playful things than real clothing. Fashion lovers have an uncanny valley of virtual space in fashion to make the most of web3 space.


Lately, fashion has gone overboard when on the other side certain brands are trying to keep their feet grounded and choosing to keep it simple, many have tried to push the envelope and think outside the box to explore more into the fashion space. Paris Fashion Week did set the score offbeat. Clothes being less important, designers are going to new levels for big grabs making models walk down the runways in flames, garnering virality to gain more eyeballs.
