Paris Couture Fashion Week Looks Nothing Like It Used To

Like most creative minds dealing with tragedy, storied fashion houses are getting innovative in reaction to COVID-19's impact on the industry. The suspension of IRL fashion presentations means that this season's couture week doesn't look anything like the extravagance we're used to. Some designers tested out the video format, Balmain staged a boat show livestreamed on TikTok, while others like Schiaparelli kept it socially distanced by trading in handmade clothes for hand-drawn sketches as imagined by Daniel Roseberry in Washington Square Park. This is the world's first-ever digital-only couture week. Appreciate the beauty from afar with our gallery of the best looks ahead.
