Meanwhile, Paris Fashion Week set the stage for daring styles. Hermes designer Nadege Vanhee showcased a fall/winter collection inspired by twilight, featuring leather, minis, and biker shorts. Victoria Beckham also made waves with her collection of sculptural gowns, sheer dresses, and sharp suits, focusing on dynamic shapes and textures.
