Starting off a week of shows with a much needed pit stop into Gaspard Yurkievich, I can honestly say that I am not the least bit disappointed.

Going into the show I expected Yurkievich’s usual perfect clean cuts, an incredible crop of both top models and new faces (like new kid on the block Oliver Welton), and a refreshed outlook on what to expect out of Paris through the season.

Leaving guests already in a great mood before the show eve started, bottles of vitaminwater in every flavor under the sun awaited everyone on their seats. Something I don’t think I’ve ever seen done before, but more than gladly welcome again.

As the show started and the instrumental ending to Portishead’s ‘Machine Gun’ played in the background, it was clear that this season’s man is more powerful and quite poetic. It was almost as if the track emphasized each step taken on the runway, which seemed perfectly fitting for the collection entitled, ‘In Love With Beauty’.

Later fading into Fever Ray’s, ‘If I Had a Heart’, the mood in the air was less tense than your average Fall/Winter show. Then again, that could be largely due to the crowds pleasant interest in the bags presented as a result of Yurkievich’s collaboration with Eastpack.
