Day 4:
The much exciting French capital continues with its world of glamour as the fashion week reaches its day4. Designers showcasing their Fall-Winter 2014- ’15 were Roland Mouret, Chalayan, Issey Miyake, Julien David, Christian Dior and Isabel Marant to name a few.
The start highlights included Julien David’s street-wear collection. The clothes were comparatively loose fitting, with a plain and simple colour scheme. The ramp was artistically arranged with a greyish white floor and golden background giving a retro look to the cat-walks. As the models walked on flat-sole furry shoes, the metallic finishing skirt paired with top, the printed blue gown and the other pieces got a relaxed edge to the look. The collection was extremely wearable on all sorts of occasions.
Following came up the extremely stylish and luxurious Christian Dior with a bright effluent colourful collection on a white run way. The collection was comprised of umbrella cut dresses with a feminine fit on the waists, stylish sleek long coats and full length gowns. However, the outshining aspect of the collection lay in its colour range which was filled with shiny hot red, bright navy blue, neon pinks, bright peach and shimmery grey. All in all, the collection was a mix and match of evening and day wear, wearable at both formals and casual occasions.
Next hitting the grounds was Isabel Marant’s collection on an exclusive dark atmosphere set up on the run way. The collection seemed to be street-wear inspired because of the loose fitting clothes. A limited colour scheme, ranging from off whites and dark browns to olive greens and shimmery blacks. Use of furs on the coats proved to be the unique factor of the collection. Full sleeved sweat shirts paired with skirts, wrap-around short skirt paired with a coat and a printed top underneath a brown sweater with leather pants were some of the highlights of the show.
Day 5:
The fifth day was equipped with designers who more or less had a different approach towards fashion. Junya Watanabe raised the curtains with her exclusive dark as the night collection on a shiny black runway. Following whom were Haider Ackermann, Tsumori Chisato, Victor and Rolf and Comme de Garcons among others.
Haider Ackermann, a regular among fashionistas showcased a light heartening collection this time. The collection was replete of full length dresses, clearly, magnifying and highlighting the femininity in women. From full length jump suits to long skirts paired with elegant sleek tops, the collection was an ideal formal wear. However, the colour range remained limited to black, brown and greyish white.
Viktor & Rolf stepped in next with their collection filled with simplicity and elegance. A messed up collection of day wear suitable for multiple occasions, Viktor & Rolf concentrated on the comfort factor more than anything else. The colour range went dynamic with three pieces in fluorescent orange and blue and mild green. An off white embroidered dress, with beautiful net sleeves was among the one most applauded.
Putting an end to the show came in Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood’s Comme de Garcons. The duo belongs to the same generation and displayed a pile of clothing on the models. A collection most dynamic, most loud and most dark, Rei and Vivienne defined their own way of styling through these pieces of creativity. Only an extremely experimental kind of a fashion freak can find its ideal wardrobe under Comme de Garcons.
Day 6:
The sixth day went with some exuberant and loud colour range on the run way. Designers showcasing their collection were Kenzo, Andrew Gn, Maxime Simoens, Céline, Chloé and Jean Paul Gaulter among others.
To start with, Céline entered with her collection of leapord prints, furs and check prints. Designer Phoebe Philo had turned her attention this season to concentrating on texture. The ramp was given an artistic touch by the wooden straws to add a dusky dimension to all the clothing. The collection was a complete formal wear including long slim fitted and over-sized furry coats. It was a unique blend of rigid and relaxed carefully complimenting the bold and dynamic women.
Whereas, Jean Paul Gaulter stood high among the crowd with a green atmosphere set up for his show. The collection too was completely loud, street and discotheque inspired. Wearable for men, women and kids, the collection was replete of glossy leather jackets and pants, flag printed dresses and check prints.
Finally, Andrew Gn stepped in with a collection extremely stylish, fashionable and evening wear. Here were some pieces exposing the designer’s fondness of delicacy and femininity in women. An exclusive evening wear, the collection comprised of a beautiful off shoulder gown knitted in net fabric. Among the other delights of the collection there was a beautiful hot red dress fitted towards the waist, highlighting the curvy bottoms. All in all, the collection was ideal for fashion freak women who believe in looking at their best in all places and in all occasions.
