Boots in the boudoir
Spring summer 2025 is going to be full of flowery feminine prints and floaty blouses and skirts if the Paris runway shows that end Tuesday are anything to go by.
But the retro boudoir chic comes with a hard, deeply emancipated edge. Irish designer Jonathan Anderson at Loewe won a lot of fans for his hooped steampunky flowery dresses where you could see not just the crinolines underneath, but the boxing boots too.
"We are seeing sexy and practical at the same time," Claire Thomson Jonville of fashion bible Vogue told AFP.
