Per WWD:

“We have to be comfortable, we can be elegant” in the realm of sportswear, too, [Rodrigo Basilicati-Cardin, Pierre Cardin’s designer] said. That convergence was made palpable at an ice rink in Paris, where models walked the perimeter and skaters performed remarkable spinning feats in Pierre Cardin’s spring 2027 looks.

This does not REALLY explain to me why they’ve got figure skaters at this event but I think the real explanation is: It’s kooky and people will write and/or post about it. And, I guess, voila? Honestly, a lot of this show is REALLY fun and I wish more celebs would just go for it.
