Paris Fashion Week just ended and honestly we are still thinking about it. Like days later and our head is still full of all the shows and the chaos and the running around.
Nova Bella kicked things off early – before Barcelona Bridal Week even started. They showed 40 bridal looks inside Maison de l’Amérique Latine and it was pure fairytale. Like the kind of pretty that makes you believe in love. Or at least in really expensive dresses.
Then FMFW Paris happened – For Men’s Fashion Week, the US-based menswear platform, did their first-ever Paris edition. We saw Kenneth K-Bobby Edgar from the US, H-ASH– from Japan, and Juan Castillo with his new brand THE ROOM 33. That last one, though? Picture this: all these super refined couture pieces, and then out of nowhere, creepy music starts playing and 25 guys in black just take over the runway. Urban. Cool. The kind of chaos you can’t stop watching. Definitely one of our favorite moments. Hope they make it a regular thing.
The women’s RTW part had some real highlights.
Hanum Aidash from Kazakhstan showed a collection inspired by her home country and you could actually feel it. Like I’ve never been there but we kinda missed it after watching. Sara Onsi presented a collection called “The Arrival” about The moment a woman stops performing and finally just lives her life. Hit different.
Diana Caramaci’s dresses were like wearable sculptures-sharp shapes but with all these little couture details you want to reach out and touch.
Sara Alhmalsi, Saudi Arabia based designer, showed really elegant pieces that 100% expect to see at Cannes this year. Like mark our words. Also walking in her show? Iuliia Bazhan, a U.S.-based international fashion model and the titleholder of Ms New York. In addition to her runway work, Iuliia Bazhan has spoken publicly about her personal experience with autism and about the importance of long-term support and development for autistic children and their families.

And Arwen closed with sculpted corsets, sharp tailoring, silk that actually moves. The whole package to be honest.

As part of Paris Fashion Week, the exhibition “L’atelier d’art. Rencontre des mondes” opened at the historic venue Maison de l’Amérique Latine, bringing together international artists, photographers, filmmakers, and creative voices from across the world.
The official opening took place on March 6, 2026 at 13:00, marking a cultural moment within Paris Fashion Week where contemporary art, fashion, and global creativity intersected. The event became a meeting point for artists, designers, and industry professionals exploring new forms of visual storytelling and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
The exhibition was curated by Anna Sashina, an influential art curator whose work consistently explores the dialogue between contemporary art and high fashion. Through her curatorial practice, Sashina presents bold and diverse artistic perspectives from around the world, creating platforms where artistic experimentation and fashion culture meet.
Adding a lyrical dimension to the opening ceremony was special guest soprano Anna Dudina, a 23-year-old laureate of international competitions whose luminous and expressive voice has already been recognized on prominent European stages. Her performance created an emotional atmosphere for the launch of the exhibition.
The exhibition brought together an international group of contemporary artists and photographers whose work spans painting, photography, conceptual art, collage, and multimedia practice.
Mirco Piccioli (United Kingdom) is a London-based artist, collagist, and filmmaker whose work examines the tensions between desire, power, and female beauty.

Bailey & Christi Lalonde (Canada / USA) contribute collaborative visual works exploring shared identity, cultural dialogue, and contemporary creative expression.
Alessandra Abbruzzese (Italy) creates atmospheric paintings that move between figuration and abstraction. Using oil, acrylic, natural pigments, and mixed media, she develops luminous monochrome surfaces where delicate lines dissolve into emotional color fields.
Michel Juvet (Switzerland), professionally known as Majicmiju, is a photographer whose work spans fashion, portraiture, street photography, concerts, and documentary storytelling. With a background in economics and financial markets, his photography blends analytical precision with narrative depth.

Aleksandra Ovchinnikova (France) creates emotionally powerful figurative works exploring love, identity, memory, and the evolving role of women in modern society. Her paintings combine expressive color and psychological storytelling to create immersive visual environments.
Sarah Stock (Germany) develops immersive and often interactive artworks exploring imagination, perception, and emotional awareness, encouraging viewers to look beyond the visible surface.
Sabrina Inge Lindemann (Germany) is an avant-garde contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, mixed media, and conceptual art. Her work blends traditional techniques with experimental approaches that challenge perception.
Wendy Leyten (Belgium) is an internationally recognized photographer known for transforming small elements of nature into powerful visual narratives. Her acclaimed series Flower Wisdom explores the relationship between photography, energy, and personal reflection.
Beishembaeva Bella (Kazakhstan) is an international photographer and author of visual concepts working at the intersection of fashion photography, fine art portraiture, and visual research. Her work combines precise composition, sophisticated color language, and carefully constructed visual dramaturgy. Bella is also the author of scientific publications studying how color, composition, and visual imagery influence emotional perception, identity formation, and viewer psychophysiology.
Anyway yeah. Paris mixed everything up again and now we just want more.
