Having taken a detour to the French Riviera last season, fall finds Pierre Mahéo back in Paris and back to school—in the runway sense, at least, having claimed an entire floor of the École Duperré in the Upper Marais. Show location aside, however, he’s completely disinclined to join in fashion’s current love affair with prep. “To tell the truth, I decided to go against the flow because following a trend is too simple. It’s just not me,” the designer said backstage before the show. Fans of washed-out pink, yellow, stripes in primary colors, patches, and so forth will be spoiled for choice elsewhere; Mahéo is impervious to all that. “I think it’s important to say a bit hermetic and keep our anchor where it is,” he offered.
