Schiaparelli, Gaultier, Armani Privé… fashion loves a nipple — and last week’s couture shows proved it.
For as long as the body has been clothed, the chest has been a talking point — and, predominantly, a taboo one. One show on the couture week schedule added fuel to the fire, not through its collection, but via its boob-baring guests. British actress Florence Pugh arrived at the Valentino Haute Couture show wearing a sheer fuschia gown from the house’s last season. She joined Anne Hathaway and Ariana DeBose in donning ‘Pink PP’ — the shade trademarked by (and named after) Valentino’s creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.
