One day follows another, but no two are alike. For this day, fashion shows unveiled are a blend of distinction and greatness.
Loewe or when fashion meets sculpture :
The first thing to greet us is the golden sculpture by American artist Lynda Benglis. Her inspiration can be seen on the collection’s jewels in silver and gold on the models’ wrists. When the show Loewe begins, we discover confusion eyes, knitted vests worn like plaids with large gold buttons in the middle.
The hairstyles are masculine, a continuation of the previous collection. We also find the idea of a giant needle in the fabrics. This is a reference to the fabric sample pinned on top of the sewing sketch. We’re deconstructing what’s classic and familiar in today’s world.
Japanese culture lights up Paris :
The show is a mix of fashion, song and dance. The Miyake woman is wrapped in light silk garments and crumpled like paper. The collection is entitled “Grasping the formless.” A blend of the wind, fluidity, grace and transparency. It’s the perfect match between 4th and 6th art.
How can you talk about elegance without mentioning Giambattista Valli ?
Light, body-length pieces. Embroidered floral motifs, in sky blue or white. Valli in three words: sophistication, romance and grandeur.
It’s show time for Harris Reed !
The show has the allure of the salons of yesteryear. A mix between the sophistication of yesterday’s catwalk and today’s red carpet. Materials are noble, velvet blends with silk and is worn with gloved silhouettes.
Dresses are long or frilly with feathers, tailoring with epaulettes, all accompanied by high heels. What’s more, the plus-size models are sublime, including Ashley Graham and Precious Lee. Elegance, sophistication and vintage are the keys to the house‘s success.
After New York Posh takes on the fashion capital :
In addition to a star-studded front row, UK fashion royalty was on hand for their show in Paris. The collection revolved around Victoria‘s childhood and dance. Comfortable pieces that are timeless and easy to wear. The collection is classic, feminine with excellent wearability. Less is more again.
Color code black at the Yamamoto show, of course !
The pieces are unstructured in the form of patchwork reconstructed with ribbons. The men looked like dandy chic, with the illusion of a well-crafted mess.
Welcome to the experience inside the sound :
Duo Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant take us back to the ’90s with supermodel icon Naomi Campbell. A tribute to music, with baffles integrated in place of jacket pockets, the swipe bag destructured as a CD player. Reminiscent of the days when we used to walk the streets with ghetto-blasters.
The looks are structured chic sharp with black suits, lace tops, flowing shirts with ruffled sleeves. But there were also couture silhouettes, with gold bustiers with trumpet embellishments, black bustiers worn with jogging pants, and a silver long dress with wedding dress pockets too. Another success for the pros of futuristic aesthetics !
