The 10 Biggest Runway Trends From Paris Fashion Week

Between Telfar's opening slot in the Paris Fashion Week calendar and Nicolas Ghesquiere's Belle Epoque collection at Louis Vuitton, the City of Lights once again served as the culmination to a month's long worth of shows. American designers like Thom Browne and Joseph Altuzarra continue to show there, while viral moments at Chanel and Issey Miyake provided no shortage of entertainment. Surreal makeup looks abounded at Rick Owens and Balenciaga, and Paco Rabanne surprised us with its menswear debut. A dreamy collaboration between Dries van Noten and Christian Lacroix was another major highlight. Finally, moving collections from Alexander McQueen and Loewe at the end of a long season served to remind us just why fashion is still worth following. Here are the 10 biggest fashion fashion week trends for Spring 2020.
