Paris Couture Week is a reminder that the clothes many people consider to be the most splendid in the world are accessible to only a select few with means and connections. That doesn’t mean the shows are not fun to see.
This year’s events, in late June, were full of thrills, thanks partly to presentations by designers Robert Wun; Nicolas Di Felice, who developed the newest Jean Paul Gaultier couture collection; and Daniel Roseberry of Schiaparelli, whose collection showed off his eye for timeless silhouettes and resplendent details.
