PARIS, France — Kudos to Acne Studios for cleverly merging the academic and the fashionable skipping boredom and pretense at once. Today's presentation took place in the amphitheatre of the Faculté de Pharmacie. As professor George Papazoff lengthily discussed the evolution of the portrait from primitive art to the advent of the selfie, models strode over his long desk, turned into a makeshift runaway. There was no apparent relation betwen the content of the lecture and the collection's theme, but hearing Papazoff's insightful words created an engaging environment around the clothes, amplifying their power and precision.
