The incredible details of Manish Malhotra’s Paris debut.

More than a couture show, it was a memoir stitched in fabric, dedicated to the designer’s late mother. Told in four chapters (Cocoon, Bond, Becoming, and Abundance), it traces the arc of a mother’s love from its earliest tenderness to its lasting weight.

This is what happens when the divine feminine is given the runway.

Paris Haute Couture Week 26/27 screamed rather than whispered. Texture, color, and otherworldly shapes ruled the runways this season, with no sightings of quiet luxury.

Pierpaolo Piccioli marked his Balenciaga debut with elegant, sculptural pieces that nodded to Cristóbal’s founding vision.

Duran Lantink brought a wild, theatrical energy to his first collection at Jean Paul Gaultier.

And in a historic moment for the calendar, Indian designer Manish Malhotra made his Paris debut with a collection dedicated to his late mother. A breathtaking tribute steeped in intricate traditional craftsmanship, the kind of beauty that leaves you searching for words.

Raf Simons's Spring/Summer 2017 show at Pitti Immagine Uomo was a tribute to the late photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.

The collection transformed models into embodiments of Mapplethorpe himself, with oversized silhouettes featuring some of his most iconic portraits and muses.

A predominantly black-and-white palette, punctuated by pops of color, echoed the mood, beauty, and intensity of his photography.

Leather and metal met Simons' signature tailoring, resulting in a powerful tribute to Mapplethorpe and a beautiful fusion of fashion and art.
