Kicking off day one of Paris Haute Couture Week for fall/winter 2022-2023, Daniel Roseberry delivered his signature baroque creations but modernised with statement raffia hats at Schiaparelli; Iris van Herpen explored transhumanism with an otherworldly collection fit for the metaverse; Maria Grazia Chiuri drew inspiration from Ukranian artist Olesia Trofymenko to present a parade of chiffon dresses rendered in plaid embroidery; and Giambattista Valli sent out a troop of retro disco party girls in metallic gowns and trains of saccharine tulle.
