1 Min Read Paris Fashion Week 2024 Live Updates: Paris Fashion Week 2024 saw an exciting day of runway action on Wednesday, starting with Olivier Rousteing’s standout collection for Balmain. The designer opened with a bold angular micro-gown that featured peaked shoulders, humped hips, and a massive hand motif — an audacious start that set the tone for his daring, theatrical designs. Rousteing leaned into extremes with prints of half-painted women’s faces and exaggerated, 1980s-inspired silhouettes, with gold-striped chain mini-dresses evoking retro glamour.
However, not every piece hit the mark, as some designs, such as a conical suit with wonky asymmetry, drew mixed reactions. Nicolas Di Felice’s Courrèges collection contrasted sharply, taking the audience into a space-age world. His minimalistic designs featured trapeze dresses with slits for arms and geometric halter necks, blending precision with futuristic vibes.
Models wore skin-tight boots and wrap-around shades, echoing the Space Age legacy of the brand's founder, André Courrèges. The day's highlights also included Dries Van Noten’s first show since the designer stepped down and a playful, unpredictable collection by Paco Rabanne.
