In JM Barrie’s 1911 novel Peter and Wendy, the Lost Boys are a raucous rabble of kids who fall from their mother’s prams and – if not claimed in seven days – are banished to Neverland. Yesterday, it was as if those same boys had dropped onto the catwalk for Kiko Kostadinov’s AW23 offering at Paris Fashion Week. In keeping with the juvenile theme, showgoers piled into a long atrium made to look like an assembly hall with huge wooden bookshelves, plastic chairs, and a raised talent show stage.
