The Dior show in Paris from start to finish was absolutely fabulous.
First of all, the invitations.
They arrived in little fitted boxes with two walnuts inside. Apparently, in China, people turn these walnuts in their hands until they're beautifully smooth.
I mean, who thinks of this stuff?!
Then came the actual show.
Picture the Tuileries Garden in Paris, with a gorgeous white runway stretching right across the water. Camphor trees rose out of the pond. There was mist floating through the air. I’m sure if you were there, it smelled euphoric, like a new season breaking through.
But let's talk about the PANTS.
Dior sent models down that runway wearing metallic, snakeskin-inspired trousers in silver and green, paired with oversized double-breasted blazers.
And a week later, Louis Vuitton showed these incredible billowing trousers, some with dramatic slits up the sides.
Designer Nicolas Ghesquière said the clothes were a reminder that "the body is made to move."
Yessss.
Don’t we all have some version of party pants hanging in our closets?
The satin trousers. The sparkly ones. The fabulous wide-leg pants we bought for the thing that hasn't happened yet.
And why exactly are we waiting for a party?
Maybe the pants ARE the party.
PUT ON Go find the fanciest pants in your closet.
You don't even have to wear them today. Just pull them out and remember why you loved them in the first place.
Now tell me, what's your version of party pants?
