Paris haute couture FW -18, fashion kicked off yesterday with ready-to-wear brands shows. The high fashion event will see 35 fashion houses which includes brands from the US, Netherlands and Belgium known for their ready-to-wear styles.
There are many first timers this time starting from Proenza Schouler and Rodarte, official guests of France’s Federation de la Haute Couture et de la Mode.
The Belgium label A.F. Vandevorst and Holland’s Ronald van der Kemp will also be showcasing at haute couture catwalks for first time alongside French brand Azzaro.
The first day couture had designs ranging from copper-frilled skirts to garbage bag gowns as Rodarte showcased in the cloisters of a Parisian abbey in pastel colour pallete.
