If it’s late June, the international fashion calendar dictates time for the Parisian haute couture collections. Jamaican-descended A-list celebrities Jodie Turner-Smith, Kerry Washington and Naomi Harris were among the big names seated front-row next to Oscar-winning actresses Michelle Yeoh and Cate Blanchett for the Fall Couture 2024 shows of exclusively designed custom-fits.

Luxury fashion houses Balenciaga, Chanel, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Jean Paul Gaultier and Schiaparelli prominently registered on the slate of more than 30 collections for the four-day blitz that ran from June 24 to 27, which had fashion insiders and watchers in a tizzy. 

Flying from St. Barth into the City of Lights from her island weekend assignment—the opening of a new Zimmermann boutique by the Australian fashion brand’s founders Nicky and Simone Zimmermann—SAINT International supermodel Tami Williams had a stacked list of runway bookings on her plate.  

First up: Alexis Mabille’s ‘Champagne’-titled couture collection was unveiled Tuesday at the cabaret and burlesque show space, The Lido, in the French capital. The 46-year-old Frenchman  
presented a luxurious 41-piece showcase of sequins, jersey, satin, lamé, velvet, and crepe fabrics,

On Wednesday, the Jamaican supermodel was in the line-up for Elie Saab’s ‘Enchanted Serenade’ show held at Musee des Arts Decoratifs (The Museum of Decorative Arts) for which the Lebanese designer sent powder-red, emerald-green, moonlight-silver and black gowns, down the catwalk. 

Later on the same day, the SAINT strutted for designer Zuhair Murad’s sumptuously dramatic collection of tuxedo jacket dresses, leather-belted trench coats and metallic gowns that aced his show-stopping glamour signatures. 

The booked and busy Williams closed out her fashionable run in France on Thursday with a turn for Guillaume Henry’s Patou Spring 2025 collection show. Held in the courtyard of the National Institute for Deaf Youth, the 45-piece collection titled ‘Rose’ featuring micro skirts, drawstring shirts, halter neck dresses and fine ribbed sweaters.
