excerpt: Courrèges. Spring/Summer 2026 - Paris Fashion week

"...Decreeing in show notes, "When there’s lots of sun, sometimes you can't really see what you’re looking at", which is correct, that brightness, when overwhelming (like heat), can decrease details and expression.

The Spring/Summer collection is straight to the point, with fine tuned tailoring, and intricancy, as tonally it goes from light blues to black, with skin tones to ochre shades seen at the end of the collection.  Di Felice's latest array offers a more 1980s esque flow, with dashes of early manifestations of 80s Avant-garde, mixed with an amatory desire.  That in the near future, when UV will become less seasonal, and extreme all year around, and our UV patches tell us to go inside, evening wear will reflect our changing climate and world, fashion has always been that catalyst to change. 

Which, towards the finale of the runway showing, within the halls of the Carreau du Temple in Paris, the overhead lights became brighter, and hotter for the audience in attendance.  Maybe, Di Felice's metaphorical imprint, is also a warning?"
