Opening night of Paris Fashion week began with our attendance at Pierre Cardin's SS24 fashion show, September 26, 2024 under the cavernous concrete dome of the futuristic building designed by Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Niemeyer. It was Cardin's second show featured at Paris Fashion Week since the death of Pierre Cardin in 2020. Once we entered the venue for the show Rodrigo Basilicati Cardin, the late designer's great-nephew seated us in the front row (a coveted row) adjacent to the entry where the models enter the stage. The new collection got its inspiration from the blue colour of the ocean. We can be seen throughout the video stream since the camera recording the show was directly across from us. Sitting just across from us was Prince Carlo of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Carlo,_Duke_of_Castro and his wife Camilla Crociani, daughter of Italian billionaire Camillo Crociani. The Models, included Princesses Chiara and Carolina of Bourbon des Deux Siciles who both wore dresses in indigo blue on the blue catwalk.
