Here some of the most wonderful trends for the
upcoming Fall /Winter 2016 season…
HUGE RUFFLES
Exquisite huge ruffles on necklines, sleeves, hems,
trims; in strategic areas or all over the body injected spectacular drama to a
long list of superb collections. (Alexis Mabille, Stephane Rolland, Versace Atelier)
DRESSES OVER PANTS
The dress & pants duo was one of the most popular
choices among the designers to recreate their otherworldly fantasies. (Rami Al Ali, Julien Fournie, Versace)
BARE SHOULDERS
It is not that we have not seen them enough, yes we have;
but apparently bare shoulders will remain a top option when it comes to show
off our supreme feminine panache.(Maison Margiela, Valentino, J. Mendel)
MERMAID SILHOUETTE
Following tradition, there is no way curve-hugging,
hour-glass perfect designs do not have their say when couture action is on. Mermaids’
silhouettes are a must! (Tony Ward, Stephane Rolland, Ralph & Russo)
REVEALING TRANSPARENCIES
Gorgeous transparencies were achieved through sublime
techniques on silks, tulles, laces and embroideries; resulting on the most exquisite
insinuation of nudity. (Alexandre Vauthier, Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad)
SOPHISTICATED ASSYMETRY
Marvelous sophisticated, asymmetric designs added
their oh-so-special ‘je ne sais quoi’ through impeccable, playful and
ultra-savvy draping, seams, patterns, cuts and cut-outs. (Versace Atelier, Giorgio Armani Prive, Yanina Couture)
EXOMIS FEVER
‘Exomis’ taken from the beautiful and eternal Greek
fashion (meaning the one-shoulder tunics); were totally present in almost every
show; where timeless sophistication and elegance became the common factor. (Elie Saab, Giambattista Valli, Jean Paul Gaultier)
THE REINVENTED TUX
Fabulous and more risky ensembles; with lovely
masculine detailing on dresses, pants and jackets reminded us that the tuxedo
will never stop being wonderfully reinvented. (George Chakra, Chanel, Julien Fournie)
LONG CAPES
Magnificent long capes over long dresses, jumpsuits or separates; cape-like
dresses, tops and coats; that seemed to be taken out from a fairytale were
among the most charming pieces seen during these days. (Tony Ward, Ralph & Russo, Zuhair Murad)
THE HIGH SLIT
100% sexiness and sensuality perfectly melted into gorgeous high slits that elegantly revealed beautiful, silky, bare skin. Uffff...(Elie Saab, Ralph & Russo, Giambattista Valli)
HIGH LOW HEMS
Hi-low hems, also known as the mullet dress; with or
without volume; became a key part of the essence of numerous of these couture shows. (Yanina Couture, Dior, Rami Al Ali)
3D FLOWERS
There were breathtaking 3D flowers of all sizes, colors
and fabrics decorating spectacular dresses, tops, capes and coats. They
recreated absolutely stunning, dreamy ambiances; somehow an invitation to join
in the magical sub-world of couture. (Elie Saab, George Chakra, Ralph & Russo)
BARROQUE AIRS
Sumptuous dresses in ultra-luxurious rich fabrics;
high fan-like necklines, intense colors, opulent embroideries, extravagant
structured silhouettes, full volume, lavish ruffles and ornaments added beautiful
doses of Baroque drama to the air. Beyond perfect! (Valentino, Jean Paul Gaultier, Julien Fournie)
LIFE IS A RUNWAY!
