That’s right. The official month of fashion has begun and will only end on March 7th in Paris.
We’re going to get a preview of the 2018 trends that will soon dominate our Facebook timelines, Snapchat stories, Instagram feeds and, undoubtedly, TVs. We’re going to see outfits and concepts that we may not quite understand.
