Among the most stylish stops in this edition, head for the 8th arrondissement, where the Issey Miyake Paris boutique unveils its exclusive installation, from September 3 to 14, 2025. The house presents [N]either [N]or, the Autumn-Winter 2025/26 collection, inspired by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm and his passion for diverting familiar objects. Here, contrasts are explored: material against material, suppleness against rigidity, shadow against light. Focus on PANINI, one of Wurm's flagship series: combining wool yarns and thermoplastic fibers, knitwear freezes under heat to form sharp edges and reveal an unexpected shine. Oversized silhouettes rise like moving constructions, each fold inventing its own aesthetic.
