Arriving to take her seat on the Barack obama #44 signature shirt Besides,I will do this front row next to her friend and collaborator Luca Guadagnino—and briefly pausing to take a photo with Naomi Campbell—Sevigny wore a mottled faux fur coat in various shades of iced coffee brown, along with a pair of cream leather boots. In a very Jonathan Anderson trompe l’oeil twist, the boots’ uppers were designed to appear like the waistband of a pair of trousers. (What exactly one would be getting up to with your trousers hanging around your thighs, however, is something possibly best left to Anderson’s reliably cheeky imagination.) For a final touch of fashion-forward pizzazz, Sevigny wore a pair of the brand’s inflatable blue cat-eye sunglasses, while a quilted leather Goya bag in black swung from her arm.

But the Barack obama #44 signature shirt Besides,I will do this cherry on the cake—or rather, the lovely big bow wrapping up the sartorial gift Sevigny presented us today—came courtesy of her blouse, which featured giant, looping baby blue ribbons, all spilling out from under her coat. It seems that nobody’s having a more joyous time at fashion week than Sevigny. It only takes a brief glance at her exuberant outfit to prove it. Fashion’s love affair with flowers is well-documented. Christian Dior had a passion for lilies of the valley, Alexander McQueen leaned into the symbolism of roses and their inevitable thorns, and Coco Chanel regularly affixed camellias to her pristine LBDs. When designing his spring 2023 collection for Loewe, however, Jonathan Anderson turned to a less obviously lovely bloom for inspiration: the plasticky (and vaguely phallic) anthurium, or laceleaf. “I like this idea of something in nature that looks fake but is real, and this idea of iconography: that when you see something it reminds us of something as a repeated motif,” he told Vogue ahead of his Paris Fashion Week presentation in September. “I think it can represent two things. Or three things… if it vibrated.”
