The world’s fashion capital is draped every year with the much anticipated Paris Fashion Week. This year too, the crème de la crème of the world’s fashion designers put forth collections that dominated fashion magazines and columns throughout the world. After New York, London and Milan, Paris Fashion Week’s collections exhibited clean lines, cocoon silhouettes and androgynous looks in fur, capes, feathers and shearling – which were the highlight of this week-long extravaganza.
Stella McCartney
For the fall-winter 2014 collection, the designer presented an outing of trousers and outerwear with a sporty attitude. Shapes are slouchy even when it comes to suiting which has the unexpected addition of stirrup pants in a slim but not quite legging cut. Fringe decorated dresses which drape around the body in red, blue and green end the collection on a feminine note.
John Galliano
Bill Gaytten presented a muted colour palette, with a collection designed in shades of mustard, grey, teal and cream. It exuded a ladylike and grown up vibe, featuring embroidered garments, high-waisted trousers, teamed with statement accessories such as knitted gloves, chunky belts, and a range of hats ranging from fluffy styles to knitted beanies.
Chloe
Clare Waight sent out the house’s signatures – a parade of easy, tomboyish separates for the autumn season. However, the look was emboldened with luxe multi-coloured furs and ruffle embellishments for a sense of surprise. Elsewhere, dresses and skirts were decorated with raised geometric gold emblems while funnel neckline jackets brought a sporty mood.
Veronique Leroy
Leroy’s collection was ultra feminine without being girly and dealt with wool in a sharp, quintessentially Parisian way. The first section was steeped in whites and blacks of varying opacity – ivory vest jackets over blousy black pants, and jacquard sheer shirt-skirt combinations – before colours were gradually introduced through tweeds. When the designer came out to take her bow, her place as a perennial favourite of Paris Fashion Week was clear from the whooping symphony.
Elie Saab
The theme was dark opulence. The autumn season focuses on sleek and sexy shapes intertwined with the house’s signature femininity. Dresses and gowns clung to the female form in sumptuous fabrics including velvet, crepe and silk chiffon as well as cashmere and mink.
Viktor & Rolf
The inspiration came from a grey V-neck sweater. The colour palette was quite muted as the entire showing featured shades of grey which were later enriched with the juxtaposition of light blue and coral tones. Surprisingly, the sweater takes many forms. From an elongated wool dress with an uneven hemline to moto cross inspired sweaters featuring bold, graphic patterns, Viktor & Rolf add some more glamorous elements in the form of crystal embroidered details, sheer sleeves and velvet separates.
Chanel
There were pink bouclé shades, a padlocked necklace, lots of metallic slim trousers and noise-excluding Chanel headphones to zone out and shop in. Karl Lagerfeld and his team turned the Grand Palais into an enormous, lavishly stocked Chanel hypermarket.
