In Paris, Anna October unveiled her Spring 2027 ready-to-wear line, drawing inspiration from her role as an executive producer for the documentary Black Sunflowers, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. Together with Dianna Agron and Sean Penn, she delved into the wartime experiences of Ukrainian youth. For the premiere, October donned a pink dress designed for pregnancy, complemented by a sheer cape. She remarked, "I think this period... experiencing new identities... as a film producer." Anticipating her child's arrival in November, she crafted three "pregnant dresses" in soft hues and vibrant pastels.
