The opening ceremony for the Olympics last year was truly a spectacle.
Lady Gaga performed.
Athletes from around the world floated in on the Seine.
A headless Marie Antoinette sang with a heavy metal band.
But for the FT's Paris correspondent, Adrian Klasa, who watched with some of our colleagues,
there was one part of this pageantry that really stood out to her.
They had this really long sequence that featured Louis Vuitton trunks,
like big person-sized almost trunks,
and they had this dancing sequence that went on for at least a couple of minutes.
Taking in the ceremony,
you see dancers sashay and twirl around brown leather luggage in the middle of the street.
For Adrienne,
seeing this scene felt indicative of something that became much more noticeable as the games went on.
