Continuing last season’s appeal to a younger customer, Cacharel plowed familiar fields with its simple shapes and abundance of tweaked floral prints – sometimes at the risk of oversimplification. Stretch silk, cotton voile and canvas were cut in bomber jackets, drop-waist dresses and off-the-shoulder tops. Standouts included a striped suit with ankle-grazer trousers, egg-shaped coats in bright blue or white, printed pleated dresses, and a Bardot dress with buttons running down the sides that hit an innocent-yet-flirty Sixties note. Approachable and easy to read, those will do well on the label’s e-commerce site, launched in early September.

Yeon Park drew on her trademark pastels to build an airy spring collection of skirts, jackets and dresses, featuring asymmetrical pleats and folds.
After choosing Marrakech for her very first trip to Africa a few months ago, the South Korean-born, Parsons-trained designer returned from the voyage with a new color: rusty orange. It was there when she arrived, along with another inspiration, linen, in the traditional Moroccan riad-style courtyard house she had discovered by poking around on the Internet.
“I fell in love with the colors, even before exploring,” said Park, describing how she was drawn to the sun-baked clay walls and the tall, white, linen curtains draping over them. She used linen in the collection, but gave it a viscose blend to make a skirt that wouldn’t crease so much and add a little flow. Wide drawstrings were another feature, transforming an ivory suit jacket into something different, less formal yet more elegant. Another skirt came in that clay-inspired orange, snug at the hips before giving way to a succession of pleats — but at an angle. Park also worked with silk, mixing silk organza, silk mesh and silk ribbon on one airy dress. Just the thing to wear in

Was it the general languor of spring 2018 to date? The cool air of the Paris evening? Perhaps the setting — beneath the on-the-hour twinkling glory of the Eiffel Tower as night fell? Did those elements shoot a three-part cupid’s bow, or was it really love?
Love — an atypical emotion for this reviewer regarding the house of Saint Laurent at show time. Interest, curiosity, fascination — check, check, check. But love? Not so much. The repetitive tight, sexy, vulgar thing — don’t get it. Or so one thought. Yet under the glow of that most glorious of monuments — zing!
Anthony Vaccarello showed a collection that did all the right things to hot and sexy. He simultaneously respected and had his way with the house codes, integrating elements of the once-revolutionary, ever-glam perspective of Yves Saint Laurent with the doesn’t-give-a-bleep audacity of Hedi Slimane. Was there a soupçon of Tom Ford’s hyper-polished dress-for-sex appeal? You betcha.
For spring, the Saint Laurent woman can get by with very little, provided she has a great pair of legs. Then, she needs only a pair of shorts, billowing blouse, bra top, ample sparkle and feathers galore, whether as wings on her stilettoed feet or a

The Koché woman has always been a tomboy, so it came as little surprise this season to find her on the soccer pitch.
Creative director Christelle Kocher has signed a multiseason agreement with the Paris Saint-Germain football club, which has been expanding into the lifestyle segment since it fell under Qatari ownership in 2011. Her coed show included soccer jerseys bedazzled with Swarovski crystals or spliced with Koché T-shirts.
They were paired with color-block suits and racing-stripe pants on the designer’s trademark cast of professional models and friends, who included accessories designer Yaz Bukey. But she also played against type by incorporating the garment into colorful patchwork slips trimmed with lace.
A striped rugby shirt was sliced vertically and fashioned into an hourglass dress, while polo shirts came with peplum frills at the waist. “This season I wanted to make the silhouettes more feminine,” Kocher said. “Nowadays you can be both feminine and strong.”
The presentation also marked an evolution. Instead of her usual standing-only guerrilla-style format, she opted for the serenity of a seated display at the Church of Saint-Merry.
It was a wise choice, enhancing the feeling that Kocher has crossed a threshold. Her name has been bandied about as a potential candidate

PARIS — The weather might not cooperate, but Lacoste designer Felipe Oliveira Baptista has a backup plan: He’ll leave the rain cover in place.
But if the sun shines, then the lid will be off and the label’s first Paris ready-to-wear show in 13 years will be in a stadium-like setting surrounded by trees.
“I really wanted to do it outdoors, somewhere iconic and close to Lacoste. It was difficult to find a place that seats a thousand people,” explained Baptista.
That spot turned out to be a corner of the Tuileries Garden, bang in the middle of Paris and just a stone’s throw from the Jeu de Paume museum — a historic site where Parisians played a popular indoor game considered the predecessor to tennis.
The venue signals a wish for the brand to return to its sports roots and French heritage.
“Sport-inspired and French elegance, these are the two pillars we are leaning on,” noted Thierry Guibert, chief executive officer of Lacoste, which belongs to the Swiss retail group Maus Frères SA.
He found the label unfocused when he took the helm of the company around three years ago.
“One of the main tasks when I arrived was to give the brand a clear direction,”

MILAN – Next June will mark the 50th anniversary of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s promising run in the 1968 presidential campaign, which was cut short by his assassination the night of his victory in the California Democratic primary. To commemorate the man and his work, the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Foundation and accessories designer Olivier Bernoux are launching a capsule collection of fans and clutches to benefit the foundation’s activities in Italy.
“This is an absolute breakthrough,” said Kathleen Kennedy during the collection’s official launch at the Super trade fair here, where Olivier Bernoux was an exhibitor. “I think he is going to be the breakthrough designer. People are going to say, ‘If Olivier did it, I can do it.’”
Kennedy explained that Bernoux’s novel idea was to emblazon inspiring words from her father’s speeches on clutches and fans, such as “Ripples of Hope,” “Truth to Power,” “Why Not,” “Hope,” “Dare,” and “Dream.” Kennedy saw it as a fantastic rebuttal to slapping massive designer logos and labels on purses.
“Why not try fashion provocation with good values?” asked Bernoux.
“I chose ‘Dare’,” Kennedy said of her own black leather clutch from the collection. “One of the things we are always looking for is

The first Saint Laurent show after the death of Yves Saint Laurent’s business partner Pierre Bergé was a spectacular affair, its set perched on the Trocadéro fountains with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop.
“[Pierre Bergé] is still here, and will be forever,” said Betty Catroux as she sat in the front row with Bergé’s widower Madison Cox, the American landscape designer and director of the Fondation Jardin Majorelle.
The pair agreed that the striking venue struck the right note for this emotional moment. “Very fitting for a tribute,” thought Catroux, while Cox affirmed his support of Anthony Vaccarello.
“What could be more beautiful and more Parisian,” wondered Byredo founder Ben Gorham, who will be showing a leather goods collection inspired by drag racing on Thursday evening. “[This show] is also a celebration of a legacy, with Anthony [Vaccarello] doing an amazing job moving it forward. There’ll be an honorary aspect to what we see tonight,” he said.
“It’s really amazing,” said Courtney Love, who attended with her daughter Frances Bean Cobain. “I’m hoping to be awed and shocked and surprised.”
The rocker has a collection of vintage YSL that includes gypsy blouses and a tuxedo suit. Her next project has nothing to do with

It’s Thom Browne’s turn to put his stamp on Colette in the store’s run-up to its December closing. When Browne’s monthlong installation opens Oct. 2, it will be the fourth in the store’s series of designer takeovers. Browne will transform the second floor into his polished American office-like world, done in gray and set with midcentury furnishings.
“I’ll always remember the first time I met Thom in his Meatpacking District studio more than 10 years ago,” said Sarah Andelman, the store’s creative director and purchasing manager, and daughter of the founder. “I remember the way he welcomed me with a glass of morning Champagne and the way his small shirt collection was just perfect. His vision for men’s wear was crystal clear. Each of his fashion shows has offered the most impressive experience, confirming Thom not only as a fashion designer but a real artist.”
The more than 200 exclusive products, spanning men’s, women’s and children’s, will include runway pieces, updated bestsellers and new categories — denim, home, kids and Americana-inspired novelty items. There will also be a made-to-measure area where customers can personalize and custom fit their tailoring with tailors from Browne’s New York store. It’s the first time custom tailoring will be

COLLECTIVELY THINKING: After a month of renovations, Maiyet will reopen its SoHo store on Monday as a collective.
Shoppers will find designated areas for each of its new brand partners — Raven + Lily, Voz and Stae — at the 16 Crosby Street boutique. Raven + Lily produces apparel, accessories and home goods with the help of 1,500 women who are provided fair trade wages to help them break free from poverty. Voz is an ethically minded label that aims to protect the well-being and cultural values of rural indigenous women. And Stae specializes in natural beauty products that are selected through personal trial. These brands meld well with Maiyet, which has always focused on ethically sourced, sustainable items as key to the company’s ethos.
Maiyet Collective shoppers will also be able to pick up items from Article 22, Catzorange, Lois London, Koja and Yosuzi. A limited selection of the Maiyet Collective items may be sold via the company’s e-commerce site.
Over the past six years years the company has sought out handcrafted items and unusual fabrics from global resources that rely on local talent in their respective countries. The nonprofit NEST, which helps train and enrich artisan businesses, has been instrumental to
