Oh la la! Paris, the fashion capital of the romantics hosted another quite long fashion week and had a lot of surprises coming. Marc Jacobs presented his last and rather impressive collection for the house of Louis Vuitton. Raf Simons presented another collection that got people raving or hatin'. So did Stella McCartney. Now, as the season wraps, the trends really start to read and fashion readers worldwide will brace themselves for the trend reports and editorials that are coming like a storm.
I know I didn't recap Milan fashion week but it was really overwhelming to keep up with everything so I decided to do a well-rounded review on Paris fashion week instead.
Paris is like a European dream. I've never been there which is quite unfortunate since I studied french for a long time and just finished last year, so french culture is something that I'm proud to say I'm familiar with. La parisienne is a lady that is chic, elegant, romantic, loves to walk by La Seine and eat macarons at La Duree but most of all she's refined in a simple way. Paris isn't about the fuss. Paris is about grace.
Let's take a look at my personal faves and what I consider to be misses:
THE GOOD:
Chanel
What is a Paris fashion week or Paris in the first place, without some Chanel? Perhaps the most distinctive french brand. Lagerfeld wowed the crowds again with this beautiful and inspired collection. Black and white held strong once again, so did tweed, but it was quite nice to see some multicolored garments featuring all the colors of the prism. In the picture above, you can see a pretty B&W dress with lace all over the belly area which I found to be a nice touch to a rather classic frock.
