PARIS PRÊT-À-PORTER FALL/WINTER 2019 TRENDS….

Paris is always a good idea, always! And when it comes to fashion, even more so. The City of Lights and fashion simply belong to each other; they are inseparable. So elegantly irreverent, unpretentious, full of character; so stylish and powerful.

 

Here some gorgeous trends seen on the fall/winter 2019 prêt-à-porter collections…

 

ASYMMETRIC COATS

 

Super stylish large coats with artsy asymmetric cuts, lengths, volumes and detailing; were among the most coveted pieces shown on the runways. Whether in classic colors or very bright ones; they looked spectacular! (Valentino, Koché, Hermes)

 

 

MINI DRESSES

 

Short dresses; classy, retro or very sexy; many in black, white, metallic or loud hues; mostly with long sleeves (to keep the charm and class alive, of course); injected that extraordinary dose of Parisian je ne sais quoi. (Elie Saab, Mugler, Saint Laurent)

 

 

MIXED PATTERNS 
 

Designers got artsy when playing with mix & matching  prints and patterns; quite usually through layering, panels and patchwork. (Dior, Unravel, Chloe)

 

 

LOGOS

 

The logo fever goes on; either head-to-toe, on key pieces or accessories. (Anrealage, Paul & Joe, Balenciaga)

 

WIDE BELTS

 

Beautiful wide belts with vintage airs looked fabulous, while cinching the waist of very feminine dresses, ultra-stylish suits and coats. (Elie Saab, Dior, Sacai)

 

COLORUL FUR COATS

 

Magnificent colorful fur coats; monochromatic or with stripes, specially in blue; with ultra-rich textures, added an extra dose of excitement. (Koché, Balenciaga, Saint Laurent)

 

STRAIGHT SILKY DRESSES

 

Delicate, elegant silky dresses, with very little shape, clearly stated how simplicity could be so stylish. (Rochas, Marques' Almeida, Nehera)

 

COOL KNITS

 

Stand-out knitted dresses, tops and sweaters; displaying cool asymmetry, volume and wonderful modernity; accompanied beautiful skirts and pants. (Aalto, Cedrin Charlier, Sacai)

 

 

TWEED

 

There were lovely, iconic tweed suits, dresses, layering pieces and coats; many perfectly tailored, while others showing freer contours. Classic delight! (Thom Browne, Talbot Runhof, Chanel)

 

OVERSIZE SUITS

 

Oversize suits with beautiful unpretentious draping, in elegant colors; specially monochromatic, were very present. (Beautiful People, Each X Other, Dries Van Noten)

 

 

PARISIAN DARK PIZZAZ

 

BLACK… total-black mini dresses, skirts,  shorts, suits; tailored or skinny pants; paired with silky blouses, edgy tops, biker jackets, blazers, furs and long coats; displayed an irresistible Parisian pizzazz. Ufffff… (Shiatzy Chen, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent)

 

Paris is ALWAYS a good idea!

 

LIFE IS A RUNWAY!
