The couture season returned last week, bringing with it the usual grandeur of runway shows. There were still some designers who opted for digital presentations, but the number of in-person events increased.

It was reported that France saw more physical shows during the initially planned four-day Paris Couture Week than it had in the last 18 months. A cause for celebration indeed, as the industry declares an impending return to normalcy in the country.
