Excerpt: Craig Green. Spring 2026 - Paris Fashion Week

 

"...Ironically, Green's latest esoterically and spiritually tinged collection was held at the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers in Paris, the once epicenter of French Humanism and the benchmark of the Enlightenment period, where physicist Léon Foucault proved in 1850 that the Earth spins around on its own axel from West to East, with his famous "Foucault Pendulum" experiment.  But, what a supercharged chamber of past resonation that venue would be, with over 230 years of history which has passed through its walls.  Yet, Green's contemporary elements are on show here, more so the 20th Century rock and roll icons "The Beatles", who merged out of the late 1950s, and encapsulated, by the 1960s and 1970s, the epitome of counterculture, at least with the group later experimenting with Eastern Spirituality, obviously inspired by the counterculture of the time, by use the of psychedelic experiences, that being LSD.   And for the inspiration of the The Beatles for Green's Spring 2026 collection, he commented on how the famed British pop group rise to fame was "otherworldly", and they nearly were, when the late Carl Sagan, wanted to put a Beatles song, "Here Comes The Sun" on the Voyager golden records (EMI declined), which would have certainly made them immortal, well at least the music, as Voyager will travel onward for the next million plus years..."
