Vogue World: Paris takes over the Place Vendôme, showcasing the intimacy between high fashion and sports, and how it's interpreted today. When original Parisian houses and fan-favorite rookies come together, there's sure to be a show.

Vogue, a world renowned powerhouse in all things publishing, hosted their third annual Vogue World in the capital of fashion. Timed right before the Paris 2024 Olympics, models, athletes, and celebrities alike joined together in the Place Vendôme, where many Parisian fashion houses are ever familiar with. This year's spectacle celebrates the intertwined affair that sports and fashion have shared throughout the years. Vogue specifically highlighted whole decades, beginning with the 1920s, and the ways the two art forms have continued to inspire each other.
The slew of established houses represented in Paris were joined by a handful of emerging designers, fresh and ready to be seen. The celebration of sport and fashion recognized Venus Williams and the 2000s through a custom look by Marine Serre. The French native prides herself on a cyclical view to fashion with around 50% of her collections being made from upcycled materials. Serre noted to Vogue that the pay equality advocate embodies power and strength that shined through the look made from repurposed tennis bags, a tribute to Venus’s style on the court.
Noir Kei Ninomiya was a press favorite with a coveted cut-out look designed for Katy Perry’s guest appearance. The two 80s babies worked together flawlessly to represent the decade of all things bold. The Japan-born designer, Kei Ninomiya, studied French literature before heading to Antwerp to attend The Royal Academy of Fine Arts until he ended his studies early to work as a pattern designer for Comme des Garçons. Each piece designed by Kei Ninomiya braids together techniques learned throughout his life.
It's no secret the worlds of fashion and sports have garnered a newfound media following. From Lewis Hamilton to the WNBA to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Vogue World: Paris tied it all together. The event was scattered with athletes, models, and celebrities, all joined together in the name of high fashion. The now complete third annual Vogue World will be difficult to top.
