Beyond gorgeous fabrics and materials; excess in detailing, exaggerated draping and cut-outs, over-the-top structures or structureless pieces, loud hues or black all-the-way, so subtle or heavy-textures, sexy-sharp or retro-glam airs, full-on skin bearing looks, high-shine…. It was all there; achieved through the most spectacular craftsmanship and magical essence. So much to feel inspired with!
Here some of my favorite trends from the Parisian Couture runways….
SCULPTURESQUE SILHOUETTES
Elegant langueur on longe, statuesque gowns; some with simple lines, others with arquitectural or exaggerated detailing. (Jean Paul Gaultier)
LIGHTNESS
Delicate, dreamlike dresses in tulle, lace and silks; thought to softly embrace the body through easy or asymmetric lines and detailing. (Fendi)
FULL PLUNGING
Ultra deep, sensual plunging; drawing irreverent yet exquisite lines on the skin. (Valentino)
SHEER DELIGHT
Transparencies covered with the most delightful beading work, embroideries, adornments and designs. (Zuhair Murad)
REGAL PANACHE
Queen-like gowns in sublime fabrics; showing off gorgeous contours, embroideries, standout detailing, necklines, sleeves, cutouts, tails and capes. (Elie Saab)
SUMPTUOUS JUMPSUITS
Sexy jumpsuits, in lovely high-shine fabrics, special draping, and details that were full of extravagant elegance. (Alexandre Vauthier)
TULLE FEAST
Voluminous, rich dresses in sweet or bright hues in wonderful tulle, suggesting no-holding-back to making an unforgettable presence. (Giambattista Valli)
CLASSIC METAL
Classy metallic looks, perfectly juggling sexiness and great taste. (Christian Dior)
CURVE-HUGGING DELIGHTS
Beautiful curve-hugging shapes honoring the female body, accompanied by easy lines and strategically-thought necklines and hems. (Antonio Grimaldi)
