The Library

Recent musings, suggestions, pictures, stories… just stuff we generally like and want to share.

Three dancers in sheer pale layered dresses standing close together with their arms extended to one side, in a high white room with exposed dark timber trusses and a speaker on a stand.

Closer to a Happening

On Sunday evening in Paris, Cortana gathered a crowd on the Quai de Valmy for something closer to a happening than a presentation. Dancers, live piano, projections, and Mallorcan cooking by Maria Solivellas of Ca Na Toneta.

A model with long loose hair in a high-necked cream corset top with feathered sleeves, over a long pale distressed skirt, walking between seated rows.

Lonesome Heaven

There are runway shows that present clothes, and there are runway shows that construct a world around them. Notes from the Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2027 show at the Réfectoire des Cordeliers in Paris.

A model in profile under a white padded crown of raw-edged quilted fabric, with stiff gold strands radiating from beneath it like spun hair, over a bulbous paneled blue denim shoulder.

Heavy Is the Head

Rei Kawakubo gave denim the royal treatment from the first look. Notes from the Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris, and the gold finale.
