The Fashion Regeneration

A circular vision from the Paris Haute Couture Week


Although the status quo is hard to fight, some designers made a strong visual impact showing some fashion regeneration at the Paris Haute Couture. Their creations went beyond mere opulence, embracing bold innovation and craftsmanship to redefine traditional codes. These designers demonstrated that couture is not just about preserving heritage but also about pushing boundaries and imagining the future of fashion.

Regeneration: a new narrative in the fashion industry


While showcasing beautiful clothes, some brave young designers proposed bold setups to provoke thought. Specifically, they introduced a new narrative that raised awareness about fashion overproduction and waste, promoting a more sustainable lifestyle based on circularity.

Since finance controls top brands, the fashion business has become an uneven playing field. In fact, independent designers put immense effort into competing with large luxury conglomerates that have no interest in change. However, some spectacular shows made a difference during Paris Haute Couture Week.

One-of-a-kind: a positive change


Yuima Nakazato is a talented designer who presented impressive work. The collection named “INHERIT” wants to inspire a positive change. Born from upcycling, it is a mix of captivating design, enveloping lines and evocative colours. So, he showed the beauty of fashion innovation and the downside of fashion pollution. Chills and creativity.
Inspired by a trip to Kenya, the introduction video showed an Africa devastated by fashion waste.

“There are many places in Nairobi that have been contaminated with textiles. We need to change that.”

Circular couture and fashion regeneration


Marine Serre: proposed a fashion regenerated through a circular design. To better explain, we quote her concept for her Couture show:

“The RISING SHELTER show featured a fully circular set design. The tower weighs 1.3 tons of vintage clothes inside three 8m high towers full of used denim, silk scarves and t-shirts that will be regenerated for the collection’s production.”

Perhaps highlighting the reality with the terrifying imposing towers full of fashion waste will help understand the urgency no one wants to see.

In conclusion, these young designers deserve credit for addressing fashion waste and climate change, leading fashion regeneration with creativity and skilful design—paving the way for positive change in the future.
