Editor’s Note: CNN Style is one of the official media partners of Paris Fashion Week. Fashion house Coperni took over Disneyland Paris on Tuesday evening and staged their show in front of the iconic Sleeping Beauty castle. Brand history was similarly front and center at Alexander McQueen, where Seán McGirr showed his second collection for the label. River Callaway/WWD/Getty ImagesBirds were a recurring motif in the Stella McCartney collection shown during Paris Fashion Week and chosen by the designer to protest their use in the fashion industry.

For busy women, multitasking women, women who can.

☆ Millennials rejoice: Wedge sandals are back!

Chloé's runway show this week featured models (and celebs) in high-heeled wedge sandals. It wasn't the clothes on the models but rather the image of the celebrities sitting in the front row — all wearing big, chunky platform wedge sandals. Technically, Vogue already declared "wedge sandals are back" last April. AdvertisementElder millennials have suffered the indignity of seeing some of the trends of their youth come back — low-rise jeans, trucker hats. But wedge sandals?

☆ There’s a New (Old) It Girl in Paris
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-01 | by ( Vanessa Friedman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

For years the Chloé Girl was effectively another, more branded, version of the It Girl. I can’t think of another label that has such an imaginary person, rather than a logo, to embody it. That Chloé Girl is redolent of youth and energy; of freedom and romping in the sun-kissed daisy fields. She is a little bit hippie, a little bit rocker, a little bit romantic and a lot insouciant. And although that version of the Chloé Girl had been absent from fashion for awhile, on Thursday in Paris Chemena Kamali, the new creative director of Chloé, brought her back.

☆ Paris Fashion Week: What to expect from the runways

CNN —Fashion months’ finale — otherwise known as Paris Fashion Week — kicks off on Monday February 26th with over 70 shows and 38 presentations scheduled. From Miu Miu to Mugler, the nine-day calendar is filled to the brim with storied luxury houses, which will no doubt draw a slew of stars into the city. On Thursday, Virgil Abloh’s brand Off—White will return to the runway for the first time since 2022. McGirr, who follows the houses’ tradition of being a Central Saint Martins alumni, previously oversaw ready-to-wear at landmark British brand JW Anderson. From staging runways everywhere from the Louvre to Rio de Janiro’s Niteròi Contemporary Art Museum, there’s no doubt Ghesquière’s tenure will be commemorated with a bang.

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published by The Business of Fashion, an editorial partner of CNN Style(CNN) — Chloé creative director Gabriela Hearst is stepping down after three years at the Richemont-owned brand, the label confirmed in a press release. When approached by the Business of Fashion, Chloé declined to comment on whether Kamali would become its next creative director. A collaboration between Chloé and actress Angelina Jolie’s new fashion brand, Atelier Jolie, is set to go ahead as planned. Hearst, well known in the industry for her stance on sustainability, became creative director at Chloé in late 2020.
