PARIS (AP) — Dior's menswear maestro Kim Jones transformed a sunny afternoon in Paris into a starlit evening of balletic grandeur at Paris Fashion Week, in a display of fashion theatrics. Inspired by the legendary ballet icons Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, Jones delivered an exuberant spectacle at the Ecole Militaire annex on Friday. Amid the haunting melodies of Sergei Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet,” the collection intertwined Dior’s fine tailoring with a joyful explosion of theatrical glamour. JUNYA WATANABE’S THRIFT-SHOP CHICJunya Watanabe unveiled a collection that was a masterful blend of eerie mood-setting and aggressive urban fashion. The clothes featured a mix of traditional tailoring and streetwear elements, a nod to his 2001 debut when he first merged high fashion with everyday wear.

A still from ‘Peter and the Wolf’ Photo: MaxRussian composer Sergei Prokofiev passed away on March 5, 1953, an event that received very little news coverage— Joseph Stalin decided to die on the very same date. Stalin not only hijacked Prokofiev’s death day, he made the last years of the composer’s life (and the entire Soviet Union, one might argue) impossible, thus casting Prokofiev’s decision to return home, after years abroad, as one of the classical music world’s great unforced errors.
