PARIS SPRING/SUMMER 2022 FASHION INSPIRATION

 

Parisian spring/summer 2022 collections projected the same spirit for the positive, the happy, the hopeful, the playful and the always stylish as in NYC, London and Milan. Here, nonchalance was of course the traditional French constant we delightfully expected and got from the French-stablished houses. Brilliant! 

Here some inspirations…

GRAPHIC COATS

Trench coats, jackets and other toppers in vibrant graphic prints; sometimes coordinated with the rest of the outfit. Deliciously cheerful and modern. (Christian Dior)

DECONSTRUCTED

Edgy deconstructed pieces and ensembles. Specially great, those in leather and denim. (Ottolinger)

THE SEXY LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Gorgeous black dresses that mixed classic, edgy, and sexy vibes. Including off-the-shoulder, asymmetric cuts and cutouts, and playful seams and hems. (Rokh)

MONOCHROMATIC OVER-LAYERING 

Lovely layering of timeless pieces with special details, in a single tone for a cool irreverent style. (Patou)

RUCHED

Ruching as a brilliant accompanying detail or as a head-to-toe technique on fantastic jackets and dresses. (Rokh)

ECLECTIC NONCHALANCE 

Cool, sensual looks full of nonchalant attitude; mixing varied styles, textures, volumes and fits. A redefinition of ‘laid-back’… Superb! Specially amazing those from Balmain. (Balmain)

Wonderful fringed dresses; long, midi or short; in high-glow hues; from gold to bright multicolored. (Balmain)

 

BANDEAU TOP

Simple bandeau tops as a key complement for tailored sets in contrasting or matching tones. (Nina Ricci)
