PARIS FASHION WEEK FALL/WINTER 2015/16 REVIEW
Paris Fashion Week Fall Winter 2015-2016 Review
From Chanel's brasserie setting to Valentino's debut of Zoolander, Paris Fashion Week was filled with brilliant surprises.
Balmain's star-studded guest list included the newly blond bombshell Kim K. Olivier Rousteingdisplayed a sexy rockstar chic collection perfect for his A-lister celebrity clientele. Laced jumpsuits, fringe, and body conscious garments with heavy belts in jewel tones graced the dark Balmain catwalk.
Optimizing the French comme d'habitude, Lagerfeld creates an atmosphere that Parisians appreciate and others can simply admire. The Chanel runway took place in the Grand Palais where the collection sauntered thru a Parisian café. In accordance to the theme, Lagerfeld brought back the classic sling back Chanel footwear. To describe his collection- it was simply chic !
From one culture to another, Valentino displayed more of an oriental feel to his fall/winter pieces. Mandarin inspired fabric was used throughout. The standing ovation came when Zoolander and Hansel man-walked Valentino's finale.
It was a surprise to see a change of aesthetic in Elie Saab's fall winter collection. The usual romantic, laced, and fine embroidered garments were muted with a heavy dark feel. The models including Karli Kloss and Ming Xi walked into the woods with military inspired garments Paris Fashion Week continues to surprise me with its culture and original take on fashion.
Salut !
