(AND SOME OF THE ASIAN MODELS WHO COMMANDED THE SEASON’S RUNWAYS)

Nine days, thirty-eight shows and one million croissant-calories later, Paris Fashion Week has come to a close— BAZAAR captures the highlights in this visual diary

THE FIRST SEASON OF THE NEW DECADE SAW A LEGION OF DESIGNERS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND LONGEVITY—WHETHER BY RETHINKING METHODS AND MATERIALS, IMBUING PIECES WITH MEANING AND PRECIOUSNESS TO BE CHERISHED FOREVER, OR STRIPPING BACK THE SUPERFLUOUS TO CRAFT DESIGNS THAT WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME.

FALL/WINTER 2019 SAW DESIGNERS BOTH REINFORCING HERITAGE CODES AND CHARTING BRAVE COURSES FORWARD, CREATING CLOTHES THAT ADDRESSED THE REALITIES OF MODERN LIFE WHILE SOARING TO NEW FASHION HEIGHTS.

It can get exhausting keeping up with trends. Thisi's why there’s something to be said for the latests tyles for autumn/winter 2016/17, with fresh updates for many timeless standards: checks, military-inspired looks, and even that good ol’ fashion staple, black. You can choose to adopt the season’s new takes on these classics–or simply unearth pieces that might already be in your wardrobe.
