Brexit, Not the Clothes, Are the Talk of Paris Fashion Week

The British vote to leave the European Union and not the clothes were the talk of the front row crowd at menswear shows in Paris on Friday. It started at Maison Margiela, a house for whom Briton John Galliano is at the creative helm, one of many examples of cross-pollination in European fashion. Galliano was not present at the somber show, with some fashion insiders commenting that the slow-beat Leonard Cohen soundtrack aptly defined the mood of many British attendees, all of whom The Associated Press spoke to were opposed to a British exit, or Brexit.
