Fashion month ended with a bang with Paris Fashion Week showcasing the latest trends and daring designs. From avant-garde to the-stranger-the-better silhouettes to blasts from the 1960s, this inspiring fashion event had it all. Here are some of our favorite ready-to-wear looks from the show.
Phoebe Philo from Céline prefers limited palettes of black, cream, and olive to reassure “Philo-philes” that luxury can still be a part of everyday-wear. The snug, sinewy silhouettes were complemented by knockout accessories such as a single statement earring and an oversized fur muff.
This collection’s mood was slightly darker than what we’ve come to expect from Kenzo. Items of particular interest included ribbed knit separates embroidered with thin strips of bronze and silver metal and a long quilted parka in a graphic acid yellow and black pattern.
MaisonRabihKayrouz’s collection gave us more than a few super-wearable looks. This floor-grazing dress with a mid-splice was subtly enlivened by metallic gold booties. We love this look for its effortless glamour.
While romantic gowns are a typical Valentino offering, peppy, punchy 60’s looks brought new excitement this season. We like the primness of the long sleeve and textured tonal collar of this vermillion mini dress.
Miuccia Prada’s Miu Miu was heavy on quilted jackets in colors and looks that seemed to reminisce on an early 80’s playground. Tinted PVC miniskirts, panels and windows balanced the sweetness made for that girly-girl inside every one of us.
Pandering to her cocktail party-loving clientele, Stella McCartney served up some slinky numbers with multicolored fringes that draped around the models’ bodies. This is one of those looks that capture attention whether on the runway or while shimmying with reckless abandon on a dance floor.
At Saint Laurent, decadent Mod looks fused well with Twiggy-inspired lashes and eyeliner. Our favorite look is this glittering blue dress with a barely-there hemline and a jeweled stacked flat.
Giambattista Valli veered away from the big, bad masculine theme running through women’s wear this season. Naturally, this meant short skirts, exaggerated floral patterns, and extended sleeves or none at all. However, the unisex look was seen in the tufty fronts versus flat backs, or wool in front and fur in back.
