Kaia Gerber is one of the leading models of generation Z. The daughter of Cindy Crawford has managed to become one of the most prominent tops in the fashion industry, where she started at just 15 years old. The young woman, who will turn 22 next September, has become this week the protagonist of the Valentino Haute Couture fall-winter 2023/24 show, a presence that has generated controversy due to her styling.
Kaia had not been on the Haute Couture catwalk for three years, specifically, since January 2020, before the pandemic stopped the world. For this reason, his participation in the fashion show of the firm led by Pierpaolo Piccioli generated a lot of expectation.
Gerber was in charge of opening the spectacular show that took place in the gardens of the Château de Chantilly. With a firm step and showing that she is a worthy heir to her mother, one of the most iconic supermodels of the 90s, Kaia paraded with a style with basic wardrobe pieces.
Normally, when one talks about Haute Couture, one refers to dreamy creations with sophisticated fabrics and details such as feathers, volumes or layers, but on this occasion Piccioli wanted to claim one of the most classic and timeless combinations: the white shirt and jeans. .
The model wore a loose-fitting white shirt with a deep neckline, no buttons, and a pointed collar. A piece that combined with some pants that had a trick, and that is that they were not really made of denim fabric, but in silk gazar and embroidered with tiny pearlescent pearls that the Valentino team had dyed in 80 different shades of indigo blue to to recreate the texture of the cowboy. “A simply paradoxical trompe l’oeil”, commented the designer after the show.
Gerber’s outfit was completed with maxi earrings and silver flat shoes with a large bow. A simple and casual set that served to remind us of the importance of betting on pieces that never fail and that are a good wardrobe staple, such as a black dress or a blazer.
Another model could also be seen at the show wearing gold-embroidered jeans that she paired with a white cut-out top, a maxi cardigan, and oversized earrings.
