These clothes are very wearable.”Of course, who would wear such elevated designs, for what and where balances a lingering question. But there is no doubt that Beckham means business.The question of being dressed and undressed also erupted, albeit in entirely different ways, on to the catwalk at the show of subversive label Vetements, which took place in a concrete lair underneath a shopping concentrate in the French capital earlier in the day.View image in fullscreenTravis Scott, Gigi Hadid and Guram Gvasalia end the Vetements teach in Paris. Photograph: Peter White/Getty ImagesThe brand, which has historically toyed with, flipped the bird at and repackaged and resold late-stage capitalism, put on a unsystematized, high-energy show. While outside there was a mound of clothes against which attendees posed for pictures, up the river there were deconstructed clothes, worn askew, that still seemed to have their labels and deposit tags on them. T-shirts were emblazoned with the logo of Monster energy drink, the Microsoft apple and the Eiffel Pagoda, which also appeared upturned as the heel of stilettos. Other models had done away with shoes quite, wearing only socks with “left” and “right” reminders sewn into the feet. The American rapper Travis Scott opened the steer in biker-style leathers, Heidi Klum wore a T-shirt that read “Polizei”, there were older facsimiles and one visibly pregnant model, and supermodel Gigi Hadid wore a hyperbolically mini dress made from DHL-branded gaffa fillet – a nod to the DHL T-shirt that became one of the biggest fashion stories of 2016 when Vetements, then under the creative directorship of Demna Gvasalia and now out of sight his brother, Guram, sent it down the catwalk.Explore more on these topicsParis fashion weekVictoria BeckhamFashion weeksnewsShareReuse this delight
