Look beyond the runways when sourcing inspiration this season
Paris is all a-buzz with Haute Couture Week, with the schedule overrun by the artful work of high-end ateliers. Among the crowds we find some of our favourite tastemakers in attendance, dashing between shows and occasionally sporting looks to rival the creative displays on the runway.
From a heavy display of denim at Dior, to surrealist silhouettes and accessories worn by models and guests alike at Schiaparelli – not to mention Pernille Teisbaek and Sophia Roe lending their Danish sensibilities to the streets of Paris. Below, see what our favourite local tastemakers wore to the cruise shows:
Sophia Roe on the streets of Paris

Pernille Teisbaek outside Alaïa
Pernille Teisbaek was easy to spot amongst attendees, oozing her signature Scandinavian style: an effortless silky sky-blue shirt, slicked back hair, and black shorts with contrasting stitching.

Fredrik Robertson at Schiaparelli
Avid couture collector and (apparently) Jared Leto's look-a-like at the Met Gala, Fredrik Robertson headed to Paris with multiple looks in tow. At Schiaparelli, the Swedish savant paid homage to the house, wearing creative director Daniel Roseberry's sculptural gold accents against a white robe.

Fredrik Robertson at Iris Van Herpen
At Iris Van Herpen, Robertson switched out the Schiaparelli regalia for sweeping sun ray pleats. The tonal transitions between yellow and purple were, in just a few words, quintessentially Van Herpen.

Fredrik Robertsson at Jean Paul Gaultier
As someone who knows how to get the room's attention, Robertsson wore a red dress with an extravagant train to Jean Paul Gaultier’s Haute Couture runway. The statement-making dress was complemented with a blonde wig by Sofia Laskar and glasses by Valentino.
