Paris Fashion Week

The end of March marks the formal end of 'Paris Fashion Week' for another year.

I haven't seen any references being made by any of the houses to the quite famous now, Paris 'gilets jaunes.' 

What not too many people know, even supposed fashion journalists - is that the major houses send out highly selective programs to their clients: and these will pick out what they are really trying to propose to the client, rather than what they are splashing out to the hoi poloi. Consequently, you will read much nonsense in the press about what will be leading the fashion trends next season... Yeah yeah, blah blah blah.

Alfred Dunhill presented this year.

Mark Weston and Kim Jones are the key creative directors responsible for the current 'cut' at Dunhill Bespoke.

The House of Chanel paid tribute to the recently passed Karl Lagerfeld. 

Fashion has always been exploited as a platform for bad politics and such was also in evidence this year. We have to disregard that kind of nonsense and steer towards the codes more or less fully-established by Brummell - and the codes of Brummell apply for women too.

Really, this is pure 'Dandyism...' The unlearned eye will
misunderstand, but this is excellent, and no question - 'Dandyism.'
