Every so often, a moment in the middle of the fashion month marathon makes even the weariest editors sit up a little straighter in their seats. This season, it came courtesy of Demna, whose spring 2027 show featured a formidable cast of characters, from sultry sirens in sequins to coiffured OAPs to rich-bitch equestrians.
