BEHIND THE RUNWAY: PARIS FASHION WEEK SS18

The Spring-summer 2018 fashion month might be behind us. But we can always take a look back at it from a different side; the backstage side that is! Photographer and soul capturer Ancira Adeon went to Paris Fashion Week and captured backstage shenannigans from some of the world's reknown top faces. So, why be basic and look at runway photos when you can see the soul of the fashion season that was behind the scene? Check out the slide gallery below to see the photos he shared

WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS

Now that the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics is officialy on the horizon, the capital of couture will take on a new role as the capital of sport, once again, after exactly 100 years. Being the global epicenter of culture isn't a new thing for the city. In fact, that's what defines the city today. For instance, the heritage of the 1900 Exposition Universelle still stand up to this day. One of the structures built for the event has become one of the most recognizable manmade structu

SPACE: FASHION'S ULTIMATE ESCAPE?

I've been kind of obsessed with everything space-related these days. No joke. Though it has always been an interesting subject, before i'd never bother to look deep into it. Not only my mathematics and science level is capital D for Disastrous to be able to contribute to any space programs, i'm also not too keen on being strapped into a bomb and launched into the sky someday. But today i won't mind swooning over Thomas Pesquet or getting curious on how the International Space

THE BRIGITTE BUZZ

She might have not posed for a men's magazine, nor was she a former couture supermodel, but the world is certainly paying attention to Brigitte Macron, the wife of the freshly elected French president Emmanuel Macron. What I meant by the 'world' is actually the fashion world. Yes. mainstream fashion publications like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue do pay attention to her style. British Vogue even went on into praising her for 'redefining first lady dressing'. Effectively, she has

FROM IT TO ICK: HOW THE BIRKIN LOST ITS LUSTER

"It's not a bag, It's a fucking Birkin!" Any Sex and The City enthusiast would certainly remember that line by Samantha Jones. The storyline of the episode was about how bad she wanted to get the ultra exclusive Birkin bag and bitch about the waiting list she had to be in. Rightfully so, the bag has become a fashion icon on its own and one might have the impression of climbing the fucking Everest in order to get it in through your own effort.

THE PHARRELL EFFECT

During Paris Fashion Week, the French ministry of culture decorated Pharrell Williams with the Legion of Honor (Legion d'Honneur for you Francophiles), for his contribution in music and art. "Ok, stop it right there, what?" was my reaction. The National Order of the Legion of Honor (Ordre National de La Légion d'Honneur) is the highest order for military and civil merit established by Napoleon Bonaparte himself. So it's kind of a big deal to receive that. It may be awarded to

FASHION'S NEWEST POLITICAL WEAPON

This month, the fashion industry graced us with its newest trailblazers. Fierce trailblazers. Halima Aden has already made headlines as the first hijabi woman to participate in an American beauty pageant at Miss Minessota competition. This time, the gorgeous Somali American was featured in CR Fashion Book's 10th Issue, and got one of the covers! My first reaction was YAAAAAAS girl WORK that hijab! In a time when many were stranded in American airports due to their nationality

THE STREET OBSESSION: HAUTE OR HYPE?

It's a trend that we have seen coming since a couple years ago. We witnessed Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy (soon to be out) sent a more street-inspired collection to the runway, then other designers followed by collaborating with sportwear brands (hey Olivier), then there was the rise of Yeezy, but this season it really is elevated to a whole new level. Louis Vuitton presented its menwear collection with a collaboration with the cult streetwear New York brand Supreme. The reacti
