Highlights of the show:
Hermes under the stars: Dark exploration of quiet luxury
This concept of Hermes of “quiet luxury” – a phrase intimately tied to Nadege Vanhee – Cybulski’s tenure at Hermes- which is once again playing at the front of the Parisian Runway on Saturday as the French designer unveiled her latest interpretation of endless possibilities of leather.

Nipped buckles and gentler ribbing on skin-tight pants demonstrated Cybulski’s adeptness at blending Hermes storied innovative design and craftsmanship. The muted flashes and darker palette weaves an untold almost poetic story of his collection.
Westwood: Nature, Serfs and a dash of a punk
The K-pop idol star Sandara Park led the pack at Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, captivating the audience in a punk-tinged corset embelished with pearls and brandishing a “Noblesse” sign to the camera flashes. An electrifyimg performance started the show in the brightly lit platform, where the musicians displayed a unique blend of extraordinary natural whimsical tone that mirrored the collection’s historical and rebellious spirit.

Serena and Maria shared an incredible rivalry in the past. Their first meeting took place at the 2004 Wimbledon finals when Russia defeated two-time defending champion Williams. However, America responded by winning the next not one or two but twenty matches between the duo.
With each of them equally at the peak still, it is believed that Serena was at the top. But even after their years-old rivalry didn’t hamper the mutual respect they had for each other. Now that both of them have retired, whenever these two global icons have a face-off they show admiration. Both these talented icons are known for their incredible fashion sense other than sports so it hardly came as a surprise as they bumped into each other at the Paris Fashion Week.
