So has Tommy Hilfiger and Zendaya's disco party: an ode to diversity
It was one of the most expected dates not only of the day, but of Paris fashion Week in general, and it did not disappoint anyone. When we thought we'D seen it all, Tommy Hilfiger's parade convinced us of how wrong we were.
Just a few days ago, the American designer and Zendaya, after announcing that they would join forces last October, set the Internet on fire by bringing to light the new collection they had created together. At that time we could only mark and include in our wishlist the pieces that had fallen in love with us, and we had to wait until last Saturday to get them all. That day, Tommy and Zendaya's proposals occupied Paris, but it was not his character see now, buy now, to which the creative has used us for several seasons that caught the attention of his parade.
The Teatro Campos Elysées left its classic spirit aside to become the late night of Saturday into an authentic club or roller center of the '70s that moves at Boogie's pace. The show began with dancers on skates, who gave way to the pieces in the collection of the creative and the protagonist of the Great Showman. All of them, as they have already shown in the forecast of the collection on the web, inspired by the 70's, filling with denim, even in total look, bell-pants, iridescent garments, two-piece suits with multicolored prints, high sizes, shoulder pads and everything we can imagine of the disc aesthetics.

Tommy Hilfiger and Zendaya followed in the footsteps of firms that have marked these fashion weeks, such as Simone Rocha or Christian Sirian, contributing their granite of sand so that diversity could also be taken from the fashion Week Parisian. Its walkway became an ode to inclusion and homage to the black race, making color models, in particular 59, the indisputable protagonists of their particular reference to the 1973 battle of Versailles parade, which revolutionized fashion. Among them, Jordan Dunn or Winnie Harlow, who reclaimed the difference as quality and virtue, which makes us unique, but also Anira Marshall and Carissa Pinkston.

Although this was not the only thing that caught attention, his cast of mannequins was not limited only to the younger faces that now dominate the panorama. The actress and designer, with her party in which they included models between the ages of 18 and 70, raised their voices to make it clear that fashion is not only for and for young women, ending with the exclusion of the more adult models, who see their career coming to an end after their 40s. To do so, they featured Pat Cleveland, the first black supermodel to appear in the original 1973 battle of Versailles parade, with Beverly Peele, who has starred more than 250 covers or Beverly Johnson, the first black woman on the cover of French ELLE.

ImaxtreeImaxtreeIf Tommy X Zendaya's collaboration had already left us speechless, his spring / summer parade in Paris will only go down in history and he will do so as the one that culminated Rihanna's trend in his all-body lingerie parade or Naeem Khan in recovering women milestones in history. But, most importantly, they did it with a meaning: "I want to do a show inspired by the women who allowed me to be in the position I'm in now. Honestly, I just wanted to say 'thank you' through this show," Zendaya told the British edition of ELLE.
