From supermodels to content creators, editors to the cast of The White Lotus, the men’s shows in Italy and Paris have been inundated with famous faces. At the Ami autumn/winter 2023 show, held at the Opéra Bastille in the French capital, stars including Arlo Parks and Catherine Deneuve flocked to see what its founder Alexandre Mattiussi had to offer this season. Carla Bruni, who has become a permanent fixture at Mattiussi’s showcases, was in attendance.
The former First Lady harked back to her supermodel heyday in jeans and a patent black jacket – off-duty staples that are popular among fashion It-girls both old and new. The 55-year-old also carried one of the brand’s signature cross-body bags stamped with its gold heart logo.
Bruni is a regular attendee at fashion week – she was a guest at Saint Laurent’s fantastical spring/summer 2023 show staged against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower – but she still enjoys turns on the runway, too. Carla joined Naomi Campbell on the catwalk at Tod’s last season, modelling a shirt, trousers, loafers and a trench all in the same pared-back shade, and in 2021, she made a cameo in Olivier Rousteing’s 10th anniversary Balmain show. Whether on the catwalk or on the sidelines, Carla Bruni brings her best self to the shows.
