Canvasses on the Catwalk: Street Art Rules Paris Fashion Week

Fashion month finally ended March 7 in Paris, capping a marathon of shows in the United States and Europe. Once again, art appeared throughout the catwalks: Manish Arora and Jean Paul Gaultier looked to graffiti and street art, while Karl Lagerfeld referenced an exhibition of Czech Cubism he saw in Prague. Dries Van Noten digitally printed Japanese, Korean, and Chinese costumes from London’s Victoria & Albert Museum all over his ensembles, and Kenzo’s Humberto Leon and Carol Lim recruited graphic designer Juan Gatti to create a whimsical fruit print. Here, we bring you a selection of Paris Fashion Week’s art-inspired looks.
