Only Kylie Jenner Would Grab Sushi in Paris Wearing a Piece of '90s Fashion History
Paris Couture Week is arguably the pinnacle of the entire fashion calendar. The runway creations are extremely intricate, the guest lists are exclusive, and the designers are at the top of their game. So I certainly don't blame Kylie Jenner for dressing to the nines even if she's just headed to a sushi reservation and not a show. Today, she was photographed arriving for lunch at Bar des Prés wearing a veritable piece of fashion history.
Jenner's sheer leopard dress is from Alaïa's F/W 91 collection. The runway show featured several versions of the look, including a catsuit iteration modeled by Naomi Campbell and an off-the-shoulder silhouette worn by Iman to a movie premiere that year. If you had access to top-of-the-line archival pieces, wouldn't you wear them to lunch too? That's what I thought. Scroll down to see Kylie Jenner's newest outfit and revisit photos of Campbell and Iman from 1991.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
