EYES ON PARIS

AHLEM’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection explores the freedom of timelessness. Cross Paris on foot any early morning, when the first rays of sun fall slantwise on old stone, and you sense it: the past, present and future streaming together, braiding and colliding into ecstatic, original formations. At every turn you’re enveloped by Lutetian limestone, a material as treasured by ancient Romans as it is by modern visitors. You cross bridges that have been the stage of human dramas for centuries. In Paris we are on speaking terms with the past even as we glide into the future. The city’s history gives us depth and context while we imagine what will happen next.
