Paris Fashion Week's Heat Wave Forces Adaptation, But Summer Goths Refuse to Shed Black
By
Alexandra Hildreth
Summary
A brief article from Paris Men's Fashion Week discussing how attendees are coping with an intense heat wave during the summer shows. While many complain and adapt (changing showtimes, using heat-stress indexes), the piece highlights a subculture of "summer goths" who stubbornly maintain their dark, avant-garde style despite the sweltering conditions. The article uses this fashion paradox as a lens to explore commitment to personal aesthetic over comfort.
