Cher in a marbled spandex bodysuit closes the Balmain finale show at Paris Fashion Week
Hindustan TimesParis Fashion Week roared into full gear Wednesday with atmospherics and excitement over Balmain’s evening fashion-music festival spectacular — a star-studded charity concert featuring the latest fashions, members of the public and performances. CHER AND BAL-MANIA Olivier Rousteing proved he is one of global fashion’s biggest showmen — putting on, yet again, not a show but a festival for Balmain that took place in a giant stadium. Balmain said it was celebrating the best in food, music and fashion within the pop-up village replete with stands — in western Paris’ Jean-Bouin stadium — more used to hosting rugby matches than spandex suits. “ only served to intensify my lifelong fascination with the beauty, traditions and designs of that region.” COURREGES’ SANDS For Courreges, a circular sandy runway featured a falling column of sand at its centre evoking the sands of time — or the movie “Dune.” Off-kilter and slightly unnerving musical cadences in the soundtrack endowed the show with a sanitized, pared-down spirit.
