Here you are 4 moments in which this Couture Week they made us think it was the most unforgettable ever.
The birth of a new star: North West
It was only a matter of years before North West, daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, became a fashion icon like her parents. Nobody expected, however, that the time had already come. But the little one, that he just turned 9 years old, has already proven that he has what it takes. Long afro braids, sure-footedness and a pout equal to that of the father, debuted at Paris Haute Couture Week. The looks? Flawless. From Jean Paul Gaultier in pandant with the mother, for it street style cargo pants and a rare jacket vintage worn by Kanye at the beginning of his career.

The “cumbersome” ending at the Balenciaga fashion show
After showing exceptional models like Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian and Nicole Kidmanthe creative director of Balenciaga closed the show with a really bulky wedding dress. 250 meters of tulle, made in 7,500 hours, with 25 different types of sequins and beads of which 80,000 silver leaves, 200,000 sequins and 70,000 crystals. A real show, emblem of Couture, which closed, with great difficulty, a memorable show. The model, uncertain and staggeringhe struggled to walk around the location, quickly becoming viral on the internet. Unexpected or calculated curtain? Knowing Demna, nothing is left to chance.
Kristen McMenamy’s kiss and fall on the catwalk
The parade of Jean Paul Gaultier by Oliver Rousteingwhen Kristen McMenamy, one of the models (today fifty-seven years old) more loyal to the brand. In a white dress and a long train, in the middle of her path she stops, turns, and kiss the founding designer of the Maison in the front row. An exciting moment, which contains the history of the brand and the iconicity of a duo that dominated the 90s. She walks away, greets him, and resumes the show, falling, however, a few seconds later. Due to dizzying heels, or perhaps from the excitement, it creates a moment of panic, immediately resolved by a warm applause.
