Sacai brings wild nostalgia to Paris Fashion Week
Inspired by the 1963 children's picture book 'Where the Wild Things Are' by Maurice Sendak, Chitose Abe delivered a playful, untamed vision that blended beastly textures with her trademark precision, resulting in a spectacle both bold and innovative.
In a front row that included Timothée Chalamet, Naomi Osaka, and BLACKPINK's Lisa, Sacai's latest collection reaffirmed its global allure. The show leaned into functionality and whimsy, with shaggy faux-knit pelts adorning utility olive suits, oversized scarves, and knit blousons that channeled the spirit of untamed creatures. Faux fur trims added flair to skirts and reimagined outerwear, while nostalgic nods to Maurice Sendak's iconic illustrations brought a touch of whimsy.
Collaborations added an extra edge, with workwear staples elevated into fashion statements, rugged boots offering a wild twist, and polished footwear tying together the refined evening looks.
Accessories like branded water bottles and utility bags infused the show with a modern, outdoorsy aesthetic, capturing the thrill of untamed creativity and leaving the audience enthralled.

Cardi B Earns Her Biggest Hit In Years As She Preps Her New Album
Cardi B's 'Outside' debuts at No. 15 on the U.K. Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, marking her ... More biggest launch in years as she preps new album Am I the Drama? PARIS, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 26: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) Cardi B attends the Mugler Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on September 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Pascal) For years, Cardi B has been teasing her sophomore album and promoting it with single after single. The hip-hop superstar has scored multiple huge chart wins with both her own tracks and a variety of collaborations, but for quite a while, there was no word about a full-length. Now, the rapper has finally revealed that Am I the Drama? is set to arrive in mid-September, more than seven years after her debut full-length Invasion of Privacy took over the world. Cardi's latest single 'Outside' brings her back to the charts in the United Kingdom and earns the rapper the biggest hit she has managed in that nation in years. 'Outside' Debuts on Four U.K. Charts 'Outside' debuts on four rankings in the U.K. this week, earning its loftiest starting point on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. On that tally, Cardi launches her latest tune at No. 15, scoring the third-highest-ranking debut. This frame, the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles list is dominated by 'Victory Lab,' a collaboration between Fred Again, Skepta, and Plaqueboymax, which opens in first place. Central Cee and Sexyy Red start 'Guilt Trippin'' at No. 8. Cardi B Charts Higher Than She Has in Years Despite being one of the most successful hip-hop musicians of the last decade or so, Cardi has not appeared as high as No. 15 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart for several years. The last time she lifted to a higher spot was in June 2021. Four years ago, her smash 'Up' – which is set to be featured on Am I the Drama? – climbed as high as No. 7 and spent months living above the No. 15 position where 'Outside' begins its journey. 'Outside' Reaches Multiple Tallies 'Outside' also launches inside the top 20 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts, where it enters at Nos. 17 and 20, respectively. It's only been a little more than a year since Cardi appeared in a more impressive position, as her most recent single 'Enough (Miami)' just narrowly beat where 'Outside' starts this week. Cardi B's Huge Collection of Hit Songs Cardi earns her twenty-sixth placement on the main ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. this week, where 'Outside' debuts at No. 72. 'Enough (Miami)' only spent one week at No. 85, while her previous track 'Bongos,' one of several collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, rose all the way to No. 35 and still ranks as her most recent top 40 hit, even though it was released in September 2023.
