    Paris Haute Couture Week Fall/Winter 2023 commenced on July 3, 2023. Celebrities from across the globe ascended in the fashion capital to grace the front-row of brands they champion.
    On one hand, Paris is dealing with a humanitarian crisis caused by the untimely death of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk, who was shot by the French Police — on the other, it’s business as usual for Paris Haute Couture Week. The streets of the city of love are roiled with riots, demanding justice for the young boy.
    Fashion and its vitality almost seem unimportant at the moment, but it also happens to be a brutal business chained with millions of livelihoods. A fashion week involves months of planning, investments and vigour from brands across the world, who put in their all to be a part of this prestigious calendar.
    Supporting the spirit of the fashion fraternity, A-listers from Hollywood, Bollywood and other entertainment industries marked the significant fashion week with their presence. From Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and House Ambassador Natalie Portman at Dior to Cardi B stopping the traffic at Schiaparelli — the ladies turned up in style.
    As couture week continues to dominate our timelines, here are some of the best front-row fashion moments so far.

      Automobile giant Rolls-Royce joins forces with innovative fashion designer and couturier Iris van Herpen to presents Phantom Syntopia—the most technically complex Bespoke Phantom ever produced.
      To push the boundaries of of innovation, craftsmanship and luxury, the two luxury houses have come together. “In collaborating with internationally renowned designer and Haute Couturière Iris van Herpen, we once again redraw the boundaries of innovation, craftsmanship and Bespoke possibility; not just for a motor car but across the wider luxury sector,” shares Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.
      Designer Iris van Herpen will design a bespoke Haute Couture ensemble to complement the Phantom Syntopia.“For this special collaboration I was inspired by the concept of ‘Weaving Water’ and transformed the sense of being in movement into an immersive experience of fluidity inside the Phantom,” added the couturier.
      The name Phantom Syntopia is derived from Iris’ iconic 2018 collection, based on the principles of biomimicry, in which art is inspired by patterns and shapes found in nature. Similar to the collection, which features a number of sculpted garments brought to life through movement—Phantom Syntopia embodies the same fluidity through through its ‘Weaving Water’ theme.
      The interior features three-dimensional textile sculptures that captures the essence of flowing water. The one-of-a-kind ‘Weaving Water’ Starlight Headliner is the most complex in Rolls-Royce history, the artwork for which was exclusively hand-crafted by specialists at the Home of Rolls-Royce and Iris van Herpen’s Amsterdam atelier.
      The stunning shimmering exterior was developed with a one-off Liquid Noir paint which is iridescent in sunlight. It reveals purple, blue, magenta and gold undertones when viewed from different angles. To master this effect, the marque’s darkest solid-black paint is overlaid with a finish, incorporating a mirror-like pigment, selected for its colour-shifting properties.
      In an attempt to pay tribute to Rolls-Royce’s heritage, the Phantom Syntopia dives back into an era where the driver’s seat was trimmed in hardwearing leather and the rear compartment in luxurious, inviting fabrics. The front seats of Phantom Syntopia are finished in Magic Grey leather, distinguished by its lustrous finish.
