Paris runways are always an invitation to dream the perfect dream with our eyes wide open. So much beauty, style, elegance; as well as lovely riskier proposals we might not want to ignore.
Quiet luxury was deliciously felt. Sure, there were divine maximalism and extravaganza; but sublime simplicity was undoubtedly one protagonist. Loved it!
Here some delightful trends to watch closely…
ULTRA DEEP PLUNGING
Very low-cut necklines on gorgeous dresses, tops and blouses, looked incredibly sexy and elegant. (Balmain)
SIMPLE SOPHISTICATION
Clean lines and silhouettes, classic cuts and lengths; wonderful femininity sparkled with drops of brilliant masculinity. Knee-length and midi dresses were key! (Rahul Mishra Afew)
FLOWY GOWNS
Silky, breezy long gowns with delicate volume and simple details; in tamed and very elegant tones. (Saint Laurent)
SHIRT DRESSES WITH A TWIST
Semi-constructed, wrapped-around, twisted, asymmetric shirts or shirt dresses; delivering cool upgrades for our everyday outfits. (Dries Van Noten)
BRIGHT RED
From sumptuous night gowns to casual/sporty sets in absolutely fantastic bright red. (Hermès)
THE SINGLE OFF-SHOULDER
Sexy and cool off-the-shoulder asymmetric tops, blouses, jumpsuits and dresses; bearing one-shoulder skin. (Christian Dior)
OVERSIZE BLAZER
Either with sporty, casual, day-at-the-office or soirée-gala outfits; XXL irreverent blazers were found everywhere. (Givenchy)
DAYTIME BLING
Pailletes, glittery embroidery, metallic fabrics & materials… paired up with sporty or casual pieces for a special daytime ensemble. (Coperni)
KNITTED
Fabulous knitted pieces; some with superb texture in the hems and trims. The column silhouette was a winner. (Paco Rabanne)
BUBBLE-SLEEVES
Stylish, voluminous bubble-sleeves looked gorgeous on dresses, tops and toppers. Fabulous on a metallic dress! Ufffff… (Chloé)
UNEXPECTED PAIRING
Ultra bright shades one usually might not dare pairing, crashing tones or miss matching prints; very nonchalant and so hot. (Balmain)
MONOCHROMATIC DELIGHT
Head-to-toe perfection in tasteful all-black, white; or ultra-bright tones. Wonderful tailored sets were super popular! (Issey Miyake)
BUCOLIC FLORALS
Romantic, glamorous floral gowns in soft or bright colors, felt like coming out of an exquisite dream. (Giambattista Valli)
THE SHORT LEATHER DRESS
Very Parisian in its simplicity and cool, nonchalant vibes, in beautiful one-toned leather, will always be a must. (Isabel Marant)
CUT-OUT EMBROIDERY
Spectacular cut-out embroidery with its 3D airs, building entire outfits, or strategically placed. So perfect! (Valentino)
MATCHING SETS
Tailored or breezy matching sets; in masculine-inspired fabrics, feminine or romantic prints and patterns. Those with bralettes and cropped tops looked fantastic!. (Schiaparelli)
Life is a runway!
Much love,
