Paris Fashion Week battles intense summer heat with ice, mist

During the recent Paris Fashion Week, extreme summer heat posed significant challenges for attendees and organizers alike. To combat the sweltering temperatures, which reached nearly 41 degrees Celsius (106°F), fashion houses used measures such as mist machines, chilled towels, parasols, and iced Evian water. Despite these efforts, many guests struggled with the heat due to inadequate air conditioning, overcrowding, and limited access to water. The event highlighted broader concerns about the sustainability of holding major fashion events in Paris during the hottest months, especially amid increasing frequency of heatwaves linked to climate change. Industry figures questioned the relevance of scheduling high-profile fashion shows in summer when the weather makes it difficult to maintain comfort and safety for participants. Some suggested that Paris Fashion Week might need to reconsider its timing to align better with environmental realities.
