Let’s decipher fashion from every angle today through Paris fashion week. As fashion week approaches, let’s take a trip down memory lane and go through the different chapters of what fashion week is all about.

Paris belongs to the big four fashion capital cities, and Paris fashion week is an industrial event that lasts up to a week or more. Big brands and houses display their collections on the runway. These shows set the tone for the upcoming seasons. It’s the hype house for fashion enthusiasts; editors, stylists, models, and of course, designers. It will be a jam-packed week for all of them because every second of fashion week is significant.

Those associated with fashion start preparing for this fashion festival months in advance, charting, planning, and anticipating. And of all the stakeholders, the people who are most important are the buyers.


The Big Four:

In the fashion industry, there are four major cities in the world that host fashion weeks, which are the holy grail for people associated with fashion. New York, London, Milan, and Paris are the top cities that host fashion weeks.

Paris is a city that stands out aesthetically and is known for its luxury brands. Most luxury brands, such as Chanel, have a presence in Paris. Paris fashion week happens twice a year, sending electric energy through everyone besotted with fashion and style. For the fashion-obsessed, Paris is the closest they get to fashion heaven. 

How It Started

 It dates back to the 1850s when a designer named Charles Frederick Worth began to showcase several high-quality items. He is considered the “Father of Haute Couture” for revolutionizing the business of fashion.

Fast forward a few years, during World War II, when America had the upper hand and wanted to showcase its collections in Paris. This led to the emergence of New York as a fashion capital. However, Paris had a major comeback when Christian Dior shook the world in 1947 by designing “the new look” of his collection Corelle.

In the 1960s, Saint Laurent entered youth culture by launching a prêt-à-porter line, bringing popularity to ready-to-wear.

But the first official fashion week was in 1973. Although the show was held to raise money for charity, it ended up pitting French designers against American designers, resulting in a major fashion standoff. From then on, fashion shows and fashion weeks became very popular in Paris.

Guest List

Fashion week is a highly exclusive event, and in order to get an entry, you might need a great relationship with PR companies. The event is star-studded and attended by the top celebrities and socialites from around the world, and for the same reason, it is heavily guarded. The extreme exclusivity also adds to people’s obsession with fashion week.
