(and which we lusted after on his Instagram account), taking over the Musée Picasso (the first time that a fashion brand has been allowed to do so), and putting all our favourite French girls on his front row. For those that weren't so lucky to join in the first night's festivities in person, here are the takeaways to note.The Show Was A Celebration Of His Mother's Style
The designer revealed that his spring/summer 2018 collection was inspired by his late mother. "She was shy, and she was sexy. It will always be about her, I don’t care!" he told Sarah Mower. He was also inspired by "French island girls - they could be in Corsica, or Martinique in the Caribbean, too".It Was Entitled "La Bomba"...
... and there were bombshells galore. Ruching, sculpting, pinning and folding came in mini lengths, wiggle dresses and sweeping side-split gowns with the most delicate of straps holding everything in place. Tailoring tempered proceedings with enveloping shirts that looked so easy, although the construction of which would have been anything but. The most effortless, and damn-right sexy, way to do grown-up.His Straw Hat Got An Update
The floppy wide-brimmed hat from the designer's spring/summer 2017 collection was the style of the summer, and looks set to stay on the agenda for next summer too.Mis-Matched Earrings Are In
Not a single earlobe was adorned with the same earring at the show. Instead, joyful ceramic fruit and tutti-fruity shapes instilled a sense of insouciance and fun into the otherwise very elegant collection, as if they were little trinkets that the models had picked up from tourist stands during their summer stays on the Côte d'Azur.
