From equestrian-inspired ensembles to hidden Parisian corners, Sisto navigates the city&rsquo;s most glamorous week with intuition, poise, and effortless style.

As Paris Fashion Week hits its stride, the pace quickens and the stakes feel higher. For Lilly Sisto, however, the chaos is part of the choreography. A seasoned fashion month attendee, the New York&ndash;based creator moves through each city with a sharp eye and an even sharper sense of self.
Sisto has long been a familiar face from New York Fashion Week to Milan Fashion Week, but there&rsquo;s something about Paris that brings out her most playful instincts. This season, she invited L'OFFICIEL to join her as she prepared for the Stella McCartney show&mdash;an event held inside a Parisian stable in celebration of the Year of the Horse, complete with a menagerie of horses.
Sisto&rsquo;s intuition had her perfectly on theme: &ldquo;I had an inkling the show might involve horses,&rdquo; she shared while getting ready. Leaning into it, she wore a horse-print tunic styled as a dress, layered under a sharp equestrian-inspired blazer and finished with sky-high black boots.
Beyond the runway, Sisto opened up about her favorite Parisian hidden gem, why Stella McCartney has become something of a lucky charm for her, and how she plans to reset once the whirlwind subsides.

L'OFFICIEL: Do you have a favorite hidden gem in Paris&mdash;a vintage store, a bookstore, or something you discovered&mdash;that you can&rsquo;t go to Paris without visiting? 
LILLY SISTO: Caract&egrave;re de Cochon. My order honestly changes every time, but I always go back to the sheep&rsquo;s milk cheese and the spicy salami.
L'O: What&rsquo;s your favorite part about Fashion Week? 
LS: Seeing all my European friends and making new ones.

L'O: How does your personal style fit into the world of Stella McCartney&rsquo;s aesthetics and sartorial codes?
LS: I love that her pieces can take you wherever the occasion calls for, whether it&rsquo;s an oversized blazer with a perfect pair of denim or over-the-knee boots with a fun dress. She&rsquo;s also my good luck charm, because I wore her jeans on my first date with my boyfriend.
L'O: What is your outfit for the show "giving?" Did you have a particular reference or inspiration in mind, and how does it fit into the Stella McCartney universe?
LS: I had an inkling the show might involve horses, so I&rsquo;m wearing a horse-print tunic that we&rsquo;re styling as a dress with a really cool equestrian-style blazer and sky-high black boots. The brown details on the bag also feel very equestrian.

L'O: Who are you taking style inspiration from at the moment?
LS: All the effortlessly cool women and men I see walking around Paris.
L'O: Every It-girl has her signature. What&rsquo;s the one thing you do, wear, or swear by that makes people think, &ldquo;Yep, that&rsquo;s so you?"&nbsp; 
LS: Schoolgirl elements with a little tomboy energy and a pop of color.
L'O: How will you reset once the chaos of Fashion Week comes to a close?
LS: Hibernating in my apartment, and you probably won&rsquo;t see me again until next fashion week&hellip;Kidding!
