In Paris on Tuesday, the Vietnamese designer staged a sculptural runway show, which included a textile collaboration with Philip Huang’s Bangkok studio, amidst Musée Guimet’s vast collection of Asian art.
“My early memories of fashion start with me drawing looks on cardboard, cutting them out and making ‘fashion shows’ on my kitchen table,” the designer explained.
For Spring 2025, the former Gucci designer stepped into Valentino’s archives and reshaped them for the contemporary with his elegant, maximalist signatures.
“This collection came out of this bundle of thoughts and emotions,” explained designer Stefano Gallici. “I let them flow as they came along, one thing found, another lost.”
“Life is beautiful with all its ups and downs,” Kronthaler wrote in his Spring 2025 show notes. “You have to give meaning to it.”
