Roman designer Giambattista Valli filled the Musee d’Art Moderne with frou-frou tulle and sequin minis on Monday evening, the penultimate day of Paris Fashion Week, with a show inspired by a 1968 photograph by Henri Cartier-Bresson.
The image depicts a young woman sitting outside one of the city’s longtime sceney restaurants Brasserie Lipp wearing a micro mini dress of the sort that shot to popularity at the time, while an older woman stares at her disapprovingly.
