Paris Has 3 New Definitions of Glamour-and India Is Already Taking Notes
From retro-sporty dressing at Miu Miu to literary glamour at Valentino and high-octane evening wear at Elie Saab, Paris Fashion Week SS27 is rewriting what glamour looks like.
Paris Has 3 New Definitions of Glamour—and India Is Already Taking Notes
Paris Fashion Week SS27 isn’t giving us one uniform look. It’s giving us options.
Paris Fashion Week SS27 is proving that glamour no longer has to fit into one aesthetic. This season, three very different moods are shaping the conversation: Miu Miu’s retro-sport energy, Valentino’s intellectual romanticism and Elie Saab’s unapologetic evening drama.
And for Indian fashion lovers, the message is particularly relevant: you don’t have to choose between being comfortable, feminine or glamorous. The new fashion mood is about moving between all three.
01 — Miu Miu: Retro Sport, Reimagined
Miu Miu continues to turn nostalgia into a fashion mood, bringing retro athletic and collegiate dressing into the spotlight. Think pleated skirts, sporty jackets, layered knits, polo collars and playful combinations of feminine and masculine codes.
The result feels youthful, effortless and surprisingly wearable.
GNG styling idea: Bring the trend into everyday dressing with a varsity jacket, pleated mini, retro sneakers or a sporty knit. It works especially well for travel, casual weekends and off-duty looks.
02 — Valentino: Intellectual Glamour
Valentino takes glamour somewhere more romantic and thoughtful. Literary references, dramatic silhouettes, soft draping, bows and rich textures create a wardrobe that feels cinematic without becoming overly formal.
This is glamour with a softer point of view—less about being noticed and more about creating a mood.
GNG styling idea: Think romantic blouses, flowing dresses, statement bows and delicate details. The aesthetic works beautifully for festive dressing, destination events and elevated daywear.
03 — Elie Saab: Full Evening Drama
Then there is Elie Saab, reminding us that unapologetic glamour isn’t going anywhere.
Intricate embellishment, luminous fabrics, sculpted silhouettes and dramatic gowns continue to define the designer’s signature world. SS27 makes a strong case for dressing up—and doing it without holding back.
GNG styling idea: For weddings, receptions, festive evenings or black-tie occasions, shimmer, embellishment and statement silhouettes are still very much in.
The Bigger Picture
What makes Paris Fashion Week SS27 interesting isn’t one dominant trend. It’s the freedom to choose.
Sporty. Romantic. Dramatic.
The new definition of glamour is personal—and that may be the biggest trend of all.
GNG TAKEAWAY:
Paris just proved that glamour isn’t one thing anymore. It’s a mix of moods, personal style and possibilities—and India is already taking notes.
