The big moment of the day was designer Bouchra Jarrar’s first runway collection for Lanvin, the oldest surviving French fashion house in continuous existence. The collection was a pajama style striped silk pants and loosely belted shawl collar jackets; white evening shirts, worn with tuxedo jackets; mini dresses, even a printed caftan or two. A tweedy black biker vest, worn over pants, and striped cotton sleep shorts paired with a belted white shirt and ivory sleeveless coat, as for accessories there was Crystal mesh scarves and tassel pendants pinned to the neck.
Courrèges 
John Galliano latest outing for Maison Margiela, was a spectacular meditation on our connected world.The show began with snippets of John F. Kennedy’s famous Moon Shot Speech, and Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech,” followed by a black T-shirt dress with a modest graphic of a hand holding two flowers attached to one stem. Next seen was models wearing headsets, and earrings and face jewelry resembling antenna juxtaposed with soft wear: shiny leggings; sheer color-blocked anoraks; skirts and dresses, backpacks with yoga mats attached, groovy neoprene athletic sandals and booties. Skirts embroidered with pink metallic paillettes were paired with jackets, and colorful cable knit sweaters rolled into scarves, looked like therapeutic neck pillows.
