Paris Fashion Week has just ended. From the first day of the presentation of the fall-winter 2024-2025 ready-to-wear collections, three very political guests were noticed: Brigitte Macron, Rachida Dati and Olivia Grégoire attended an event organized at the French Institute of fashion. If Claude Pompidou and Bernadette Chirac were regulars in the front row at Chanel, and if Carla Bruni-Sarkozy walked (and continues to!) the most prestigious catwalks from Milan to New York via London and Paris, the political domain is he had been away from the catwalks for several years.
At Vanity Fair, we therefore imagined a political front row, awarding past and present ministers, future presidential candidates, deputies and other figures of this small world with imaginary invitations. Or not ?

Gabriel Attal : Off-White
Looking for cool? The Prime Minister would be well inspired to join the label founded by Virgil Abloh, and today managed by Ib Kamara. This would do the greatest good for the somewhat corseted top-of-the-class locker room.
Ursula of the Leys : Nathan
Classic, not to say boring, her style as a queen of Europe would benefit from drawing some ideas from the couturier of the northern monarchs. Luckily, the headquarters are in Brussels, not far from the institution she presides over.
Dominique de Villepin as Celine
The impeccable but slightly frozen look of the former master of the Quai d’Orsay should be spiced up with notes of both rock and class from Hedi Slimane to refine his aura of Chateaubriand 2024.
Rachida Dati : Givenchy
Halfway between the 7th arrondissement and the Ministry of Culture, the house on Avenue George-V has all the style and history needed for the future (?) mayor of Paris. Plus a possible job as artistic director, currently vacant, you never know.
Bruno Le Maire: at Rick Owens
After having dropped the mask a little (and revealed deeply unforgettable details) in his novels, the very sober Minister of the Economy should finally take the plunge, and forget his measures in the apocalyptic atmosphere of the Rick Owens fashion shows.
Amélie Oudéa Castera: at Junya Watanabe
Since the opening ceremony of the Olympics has been considerably scaled down, and since she is no longer required to dress like Stanislas, AOC could finally put on the show thanks to designer Junya Watanabe.
Éric Dupond-Moretti: at Issey Miyake
If the lawyer’s dress was a first step towards sartorial singularity, the Minister of Justice could go even further with Issey Miyake’s pleats-please, light, functional and perfect for erasing excess gluttony.

Gérald Darmanin: at Kenzo
We dare not imagine that he will take advantage of his presence at the parade to distribute OQTFs to friends of the charismatic but not really French native Nigo. The skater chic wardrobe, on the other hand, should inspire him.
Sandrine Rousseau: at Jeanne Friot
The green MP should appreciate the deconstructed masculinity of Jeanne Friot’s looks and the slogans such as “The earth speaks to all of us” painted on the clothes, before tasting the dhal and latte organic at the Palais de Tokyo café.
Christine Lagarde: at Chanel
Isn’t that obvious? When she has finished ruling European finances from Frankfurt, the very chic Queen Christine will have her place on rue Cambon.
Anne Hidalgo: at Marine Serre
If she loves eco-responsible fashion as much as she says, the mayor of Paris should be looking at Marine Serre, a young, cutting-edge designer committed to the planet.
Clémentine Autain: at Jacquemus
Provence gave France lavender and Jacquemus, but also far-left elected officials. We can already imagine the LFI MP in a red dress reminding the VIPs in the front row of this heritage, Kylie Jenner in the lead.
Valérie Pécresse: at Léonard’s
Playing on the bourgeois codes of printed silks and structured jackets, the Léonard house could provide her with a hint of humor without depriving her of her western suburban range.
Édouard Philippe: at Hermès
To improve his profile as a presidential candidate, the mayor of Le Havre would be well advised to draw on the wardrobe of the men’s creative director Véronique Nichanian – in office for 34 years, a longevity that makes more than one politician dream. He would find there what he needed of youth and elegance to revamp the art of electoral portraiture.
Christiane Taubira: at Balmain
Among the leading politicians preferred by the French, he was given a place at the Balmain fashion show, where Olivier Rousteing celebrated his origins by putting his doubly flowered “Jolie Madame” back on the podium.
