Demna, known for his daring work as well as controversies during his stint at Kering-owned Balenciaga, will unveil his final collection on Wednesday at what is likely to be a star-studded show.
The man behind a $2,000 “Ikea” bag and a $1,800 so-called “trash pouch”, as well as a much-criticised advertising campaign that appeared to reference child abuse, is not seen as a natural fit for the more classical Gucci label by some analysts.
“His creative power is exactly what Gucci needs,“ Kering CEO Francois-Henri Pinault said at the time.
After Demna’s farewell at midday in Paris (1000 GMT), Belgian designer Glenn Martens will find himself in the spotlight when he unveils a first collection for Maison Margiela, following his appointment in January to succeed British designer John Galliano.
The day will also see new collections unveiled by the Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf, Hong Kong’s Robert Wun, French designer Franck Sorbier, Japan’s Yuima Nakazato and the Lebanese designers Zuhair Murad and Elie Saab.
The collection featured a play-it-safe reinterpretation of its classic tweed looks in front of A-listers from Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz and Kirsten Dunst to singers Lorde and Gracie Abrams.
Haute Couture Week is dedicated to handcrafted, one-of-a-kind creations bought by celebrities and VIPs for red carpets, galas and other high-profile events. – AFP
