She'll Make You Rethink How to Wear a Shirt

Paris started the month with two very different menswear moments: Auralee’s modest, close-up runway on marble floors and Louis Vuitton’s blockbuster show with a continuous wave backdrop, a gospel choir, celebrity attendees including Victor Wembanyama, Jeremy Allen White and Missy Elliott, and “truckloads of sand” lining the runway. Despite the scale gap, both shows reflect the influence of Charlotte Collet. The 40-year-old French stylist—described as blunt and practical—has built a reputation by dressing for realism rather than maximal luxury fantasy. Her approach pairs tailored polish with grounded elements like work boots and washed jeans, drawing praise for being direct and fresh.
