On Monday the 24th of January, Paris Couture Fashion Week proved, once again, that timeless chic doesn’t have to be toneless. And finally, after so long, the front row is full. The show starts with couture colossuses Schiaparelli and Dior, then Chanel, Valentino and Fendi. It is a breathtaking exhibition of the spring/summer 2022 collections. From glorious, all-consuming gowns to barely-there works of art, there isn’t a design that walks the runway which isn’t couture at its finest. Here are some of the biggest trends coming out of the occasion…

Serenity and calm within the chaotic world.
