    Shows
  • Caroline Brasch Nielsen so far has locked spots for Balenciaga, Givenchy, Dries van Noten, Viktor and Rolf, Chanel, Celine , Miu Miu, YSL , Vuitton and Valentino (in opening position). That debut puts Caroline in a very bankable position for next season when she will be set to make her NY and Milan debut.

Though, nothing to worry about -- this was just a prelude to what could be considered as a complete breakthrough. Think of the high amount of shows she gathered in other cities, think of the quality and diversity among them, think of the crescendo from CK till the end. Paris as the final highlight: Dries Van Noten, Sharon Wauchob, Roland Mouret, Rick Owens, Celine, Valentino, Vuitton and Miu Miu. No less.
