There’s plenty of glitz and glamour, as befits a couture season; but there’s also a lot of hustle, as Heart laughs about being a diet of gummy bears and water as they try to rush from one show to another; skipping lunches constitutes a typical day in Paris Fashion Week. “And at the end of the day,” she elaborates, “you’re so tired because of the adrenaline high, because you’re so excited. The pace is very fast, and you’re trying to grasp the beauty of everything you see. I love it, [and] I’m always on a high.”

Heart’s favorite shows of the season include Armani Privé, Elsa Schiaparelli, Elie Saab and Ulyana Sergeenko. While the prevailing trend for all fashion houses is to add more street-style, Heart admits that she likes to keep things classic feminine, but she’s excited about adding more quirk to it, as can be seen for this season.
