The industry was still processing the loss of Louis Vuitton designer Virgil Abloh, who died in November aged just 41 after a private battle with cancer. His final collection was presented during the menswear shows last week.
His bold silhouettes helped define the power-dressing look of the 1980s, with the inverted triangle of wide shoulders and tight hips exemplified by pop icons like Grace Jones and David Bowie.The show must go on, however, and many couture labels have been determined to return to the runway this week despite surging Covid cases in France, which just last Tuesday had a record of nearly 465,000 infections over a 24-hour period.
“I feel caught in the crossfire,” its director Jean Paul Cauvin told AFP, fearing that a live show would create “an haute couture cluster”.Meanwhile, reactions have been coming in following Mugler’s death. French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte conveyed their condolences to Mugler’s loved ones and all those whom he had inspired.
