Gaby Nutt "Life is a Runway": FABULOUS TRENDS READY-TO-WEAR: PARIS FASHION WEEK SPRING / SUMMER 2015...

What is it about Paris that makes our hearts and souls so, so happy, excited and in love; especially when it comes to fashion? Mmmmm… Hemingway’s ‘moveable feast’ will never stop being so; a magnificent unstoppable feast... Oh, yes!

Fashion lovers know that this is a case of ‘saving the best for last’. Not by mere coincidence the City of Lights is always the Last stop of the ready-to-wear major fashion weeks venture.

Parisian SPRING / SUMMER 2005 runways gave us EVERYTHING... Not only what we needed, but mostly everything we desired… There were gorgeous floral, artsy, geometric and architectural prints, motifs and designs; lots of spectacular leather, lace, metallic fabrics and denim. Many collections radiated fantastic retro vibes from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. There was fashion for every taste and style; for the romantic, glamorous, sporty, edgy ladies; and definitely for those who adore men-inspired pieces. When it comes to colors; black and white reigned without leaving aside lovely pastels, nude and earthy tones; as well as vibrant hues such as blue, red and yellow. Paris, it had to be Paris!

Let us go through some of the most beautiful TRENDS seen during these days…
