Jimin making seismic waves in the world of fashion
Even before he arrived at the venue it was clear that something very different was happening in Paris today. People started converging on Place de la Concorde from early in the morning prepared to endure the freezing temperatures in order to catch a glimpse of Park Jimin.
He arrived just in time for the show and was greeted by Dior staff and the deafening roar of the crowd screaming and chanting his name.
From the moment the first video was released of Jimin making his entrance to the Dior Winter 2023-24 Show it was clear that as with everything he does Jimin was going to take this new role seriously. He ain't here to play, he's here to slay.
Sans his usual accessories and with minimal make up, his hair was gorgeously styled and, as Edward Barsamian suggested in his latest tweet, if anyone could make beige look like the next big thing it was going to be Park Jimin.
Next stop the photo call. Eyes looking straight into the camera lens and reminding us, if we needed a reminder, that Park Jimin is all grown up. You can see in this photo someone who is only going to get handsomer in their 30s and 40s. He has a face that is going to age very well indeed.
The press attention didn't relent even when he was shown to his seat. He gallantly tried to respond positively to everyone demanding his attention taking photographs and recording videos for the Instagram accounts of the major fashion mags present.
It was no doubt reassuring to have J-Hope and his friend from W Korea beside him while taking his first steps into representing the world of high value fashion.
He was friendly and approachable despite the language barrier.

And he paid rapt attention to the show itself and was duly appreciative during the final catwalk parade. He is one classy guy.

He congratulated Kim Jones after the show.
Then he slipped away as calmly and as gracefully as he had arrived with smiles for the lucky fans waiting at the venue exit.
Today the tectonic plates that hold the world of fashion together were disturbed. Park Jimin has arrived and he's making seismic waves.
N.B In terms of the show itself, well not being an expert in this field I have left some Review Links here. These guys seemed to like it.
