long for someone to show up in a glittery haute couture helmet with attached hands to something — anything! Like, come on, Emily Blunt — let’s mix up that Oppenheimer press tour!

WWD felt this line “occasionally flew too close to the theatrical, but…was as pointed in its feminist messaging as it was sharply executed,” and spoke to the designer before the show: “‘This is the story of a time, with Cubism and the art moment rising as a revolution against nationalisms,’ said Martin backstage before the show through a translator, a context she recognizes in the rising challenges in today’s world around reproductive rights and female freedoms. ‘If you are a woman, everything is more difficult, in business and in life.’” That’s certainly true. Maybe I DO need a helmet.
