If you're a zillenial fashion lover like me, you likely grew up watching Ashley, also known as @best.dressed, on YouTube. She would walk us through her thrift hauls, take us through the journey of decorating her small NYC studio apartment, open up about balancing studying with content creation, and make relatable sit-down videos chronicling the ups and downs of dating as a young person. Now, after we all grew up together, Rous is sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week.
Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2027 show was filled with familiar faces like Olivia Colman, styling lessons like a reminder to never be afraid to pattern clash, and looks that seamlessly blended several aesthetics: gorpcore, poetcore, and surfer girl chic, for example. Luckily for us, Ashley took us along every step of the way—makeshift glam stations, front-row seat, post-after-party ritual, and all.
Ahead, a peek into one of the most exciting PFW shows, through Ashley's eyes.
