Vogue World took over the last day of Paris Fashion Week⁘s menswear collection, on International Olympic Day, for a night of sporting-style and status symbols.
Bringing together 188 athletes, 151 models, 70 dancers, and a 40-piece orchestra at Place Vend⁘me, the theme was the evolution of style over the last century, pairing each decade of fashion with a different sport. Think 1990s football WAGs, and leotards and lycra of the ⁘70s.
The 1940s saw the emergence of the bikini, eventually popularised by heartthrob Brigitte Bardot, who brought the two-piece international recognition during the 1953 instalment of the Cannes Film Festival.
For Vogue World⁘s 1940s act, Sabrina Carpenter made a surprise appearance rising from the waves of billowing blue fabric, strutting the cobbles of Paris in a Jacquemus nautical-style red and white striped swimsuit, with a matching old Hollywood-style headscarf and sarong. A perfect look for an artist who produced TikTok⁘s song of the summer.
For the grand-finale of the 1950s segment, all things equestrian was celebrated, seeing models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid ride horseback through the Paris plaza.
The models rode on stallions named Napo and Django, whose manes were braided according to legendary stylist Eugene Souleiman⁘s instructions. Dressed in head-to-hoof Herme⁘s, the silhouette of the models⁘ suits were inspired by Victorian-era riding garments.
The 2000s celebrated tennis and 10 years of Nicolas Ghesquie⁘re at Louis Vuitton. Sporting legends Serena and Venus Williams left an impression in two custom looks.
Serena Williams honoured her enduring relationship with Virgil Abloh (who made the star⁘s custom Met Gala sneakers in 2019) by wearing a dress by Ib Kamara for Off-White ⁘ the fashion brand Abloh founded. Venus Williams wore a Marine Serre gown made from recycled tennis bags.
Livestream host of the evening, Cara Delevingne wore a pale pink
conical sculpted bodice with flowing buckled ribbons. Dressed by Simone Rocha for Jean Paul Gaultier from its spring/summer 2024 couture, the look was accompanied with ballet flats and a sailor⁘s hat, bringing a sense of whimsy that permeated the evening.
