While haute couture Fall ’15 may have brought us high-rolling celebrities at Chanel, elaborate Elie Saab embroidery, and Fendi’s “haute fourrure,” the show attendees (or at least the street style set roaming nearby) were considerably more dressed-down. Yep, the biggest trend in Paris was none other than denim; Canadian tuxedos, overalls, tailored jackets, and distressed jeans kept the fashion crowd comfy this season, and it actually shouldn’t come as a surprise. From bags to flares to patchwork and ’70s skirts, the fabric has been having a surprisingly sophisticated moment this year, with some of the world’s most luxe designers crafting pieces that have settled firmly onto our wishlists. Really, the only arena the casual chic fabric has yet to dominate is haute couture itself. Maybe it’s only a matter of time…
