Sensuality has been on the tip of fashion\u2019s tongue from the moment provocation usurped protective ware as the collective mood du jour. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Paris\u2014a city where electrifying seduction techniques take the shape of scantily clad and sheer designs. Less than 48 hours into Paris Fashion Week, the art of showcasing skin became an apparent theme that would underscore new season collections from France\u2019s favourites. Yet, during one of the week\u2019s highly-anticipated presentations, Courr\u00e8ges, the concept of revved-up, sultry garments<\/a> was approached with a more tender touch.<\/p>\n

Fashion is an inherently intimate medium. While clothing serves a function, the art form of how the body should be shrouded and with what intention became the key talking point for the collection. The presentation began in a barren white room. A thumping heartbeat reverberated around the room before the claustrophobic sounds of an intense inhale and exhale joined the chorus.<\/p>\n

It was an enveloping soundscape that added to the exhilaration and anticipation for the collection\u2014a titling move that conjured the opening of Pink Floyd\u2019s 1973 seminal stoner album The Dark Side Of The Moon<\/em>. This repetitive respiration took a sensual turn, like Jocelyn\u2019s (Lily-Rose Depp) exasperated pants that scored most of The Idol\u2019s soundtrack.<\/p>\n

But where you thought this would climax into a bigger melody, it was ultimately the floor\u2014an act of showmanship akin to Nicolas de Felice\u2019s work\u2014that moved the collection forward. The centrepiece (literally) began to open and close like lungs as models paraded around the spherical organ.<\/p>\n
