The recent fashion evening organized by Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron at the Elys\u00e9e Palace was an opportunity for the President to announce the future organization of a Day dedicated to this sector during the Paris Olympics. The initiative was the brainchild of Anna Wintour, who was one of 214 guests at a dinner underlining the Elys\u00e9e’s interest in the sector.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paris already had fashion as its standard. It will soon have its Olympic Games. So why not combine the two?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Fashion Day will be organized<\/strong> in central Paris to coincide with the next Olympic Games in July<\/strong>. French<\/strong> President<\/strong> Emmanuel Macron<\/strong> made the announcement at the fashion dinner he hosted<\/strong> with his wife Brigitte at the Elys\u00e9e Palace on October 2<\/strong>, bringing Fashion Week in the capital to a fitting close.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The President decided to put into practice the idea of British-American journalist Anna Wintour<\/strong>, the famous editor-in-chief of Vogue, who was of course one of the 214 guests<\/strong> at the October 2 event<\/strong>. The entire ecosystem of the French industry was thus very well represented at what was the third dinner dedicated to the sector<\/strong> organized (after those in October 2018 and February 2020) by Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The presidential duo’s interest in fashion<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pace and format of the evening underscore the presidential duo’s keen interest in a sector that has long been underestimated, if not scorned<\/strong>. Before Emmanuel Macron, only one other President, Fran\u00e7ois Mitterrand<\/strong>, had organized such an evening in 1984, and that was just once.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a symbol, when we recall Georges Pompidou<\/strong>‘s famous outburst at a press conference in 1972, when he held the highest office in the land. Dear old France!<\/strong> La bonne cuisine! […] Haute Couture<\/strong>, good exports… cognac, champagne and even Bordeaux and Burgundy […] It’s over!<\/strong> France has begun, and largely begun, an industrial revolution!”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But if Minitel and Concorde have since disappeared, luxury goods, and in particular fashion, are more alive than ever…and their players were present in large numbers at the October 2 event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Table of honor<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The most honored guests at the presidential couple’s table were Maria Grazia Chiuri (Dior), Demna (Balenciaga), Pierpaolo Piccioli (Valentino), Jean-Claude Jitrois, Veronique Nichanian (Herm\u00e8s), Pharrell Williams and Nicolas Ghesqui\u00e8re (Louis Vuitton Homme and Femme), Anna Wintour, model Naomi Campbell<\/strong>, jewelry princess Sirivannavari Nariratana, and Delphine Arnault and Bruno Pavlovsky<\/strong>, respectively at the helm of fashion activities for Chanel and Dior (LVMH Group).<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But many other designers (Olivier Rousteing (Balmain), Ines de la Fressange, Vanessa Bruno, the Coperni duo, Simon Porte Jacquemus, Ludovic de Saint-Sernin, St\u00e9phane Rolland, Rick Owens, Giambattista Valli, Olivier Theyskens, Lutz Huelle, Alexandre Mattiussi (Ami), Iris Van Herpen, Peter Do…)<\/strong> and company heads or top executives were also able to exchange views over the buffet or sit-down dinner. Among the executives were well-known industry figures such as Bastien Daguzan (Jacquemus) or Nicolas Santi-Weil (Ami)<\/strong>… ) or members of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM)<\/strong> executive committee (Sidney Toledano (LVMH Fashion Group), Francesca Bellettini (Yves Saint Laurent\/Kering), Anouck Duranteau-Loeper (Isabelle Marant), Guillaume de Seynes (Herm\u00e8s), Elsa Lanzo (Rick Owens) <\/strong>or Pascal Morand, FHCM executive president.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, the Elys\u00e9e invited a number of representatives from the industry (F\u00e9d\u00e9ration de la haute couture et de la mode (FHCM), Institut fran\u00e7ais de la mode, DEFI…)<\/strong>, celebrities (such as singer Cher<\/strong>), journalists and several ministers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fashion’s concerns<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In front of this magnificent array, the President of the Republic’s flagship announcement of a future Fashion Day during the globally over-mediatized event of the 2024 Olympics was obviously not to be disliked.<\/p>\n

It was also a clever way of responding to the concerns expressed by the fashion industry, via the mouth of Bruno Pavlovsky, president of the FHCM<\/strong>, regarding the future 2024 Olympics in Paris<\/strong>. Which will both complicate the organization of Fashion Week and access to fashion boutiques<\/strong> unlucky enough to be located in traffic-restricted zones…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bruno Pavlovsky also took the opportunity to explain that his sector keeps its promises (which is not always the case with politicians…). A way of insisting that the President continue to give his business his undivided attention?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sustainable transition<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bruno Pavlovsky finally recalled that in August 2019, at the G7 summit in Biarritz, Emmanuel Macron<\/strong> had strongly urged the fashion and textile sector to make a greater commitment to sustainable transition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that since then, “Day by day, each brand is progressing at its own pace towards the circular economy, transparency and value chain transformation … while safeguarding know-how and excellence”…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The President of the FHCM paid tribute to the efforts made by all the members of his Federation’s Executive Committee to support the emergence of a new generation of designers…<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brigitte Macron’s wardrobe<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Emerging designers who are not yet part of Brigitte Macron’s official wardrobe.<\/p>\n

It’s true that on October 2, the President’s wife was careful not to wear a 100% Louis Vuitton silhouette<\/strong>, which she is sometimes criticized for favoring too much…<\/p>\n

While her black jacket adorned with large crystal buttons was still signed by Nicolas Ghesqui\u00e8re, designer of the famous Lvmh label, she paired it with Barbara Bui pants<\/strong>, while wearing a purple pair of Christian Louboutin wedges<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

According to the indiscretions of the women’s press, at the dinner she said that, on a personal level, she particularly appreciated the houses of two timeless, so Frenchy designers, Vanessa Bruno and In\u00e8s de la Fressange<\/strong>. At least the First Lady won’t be making any fashion faux pas with these fashion stalwarts…<\/p>\n
