Fashion Week Paris Spring 2010

Erika — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:18:47 +0000

Belgian native designer Dries van Noten brought culture and ethnicity to the Paris Fashion Week runway. With an array of rich, vibrant, and sleek flowing fabrics, it was very clear that Mr. Van Noten went beyond the conventional to turn this collection into a reality. He revealed that one of the hand-woven fabrics he selected (Ikat) underwent a two day journey by donkey in order to make it to his Antwerp studio. Although ethnic inspired fashion has been done many times before, it was Mr. Van Noten’s unique mixture of his pieces that lead to his exito! Bravo!

Marc Jacobs’ creations for the Louis Vuitton Fall Fashion collection debuted at Paris Fashion Week was a brave expression of his positive mindset. The maverick designer was in his usual mood, “I have a practical mind. Cut the party and celebrities, but you can’t sacrifice the beauty of the clothes.”

And so it was. From the start to the end the show was a delightful celebration with chic, sensuous and sassy designs. Curvy black dresses were made youthful with colorful silk bows and pink, plum, blue, teal and red peplums.

A variety of skirts were on display. Jacobs’ new Twinset comprised a printed jacket and mini skirt teamed with matching leggings. Fine see-through tops were paired with short bubble skirts and high leather boots. Gray jackets looked elegant with tight ruched skirts flaunting ruffles at the hem.

Bags came in black, pink, red and icy-gray with sequins, crystal detailing, and fishnet ruffles. Check out some photos from the show:

Karl Lagerfield’s RTW Fall 2009 show at the Paris Fashion Week set the mood with mostly blacks and whites. The designer from the House of Chanel lived up to high expectations, featuring classic-yet-sophisticated black suits as the core of the collection.

There were plenty of white and pink ruffles, with frills and pleats to embellish closely-fitted black outfits. Long chiffon skirts teamed with fitted black coats were the perfect blend of modernity and tradition.

The first touch of color showed up with a muted green trouser worn with a black sweater and a large pearl pendant as an accessory. Check out some highlights from the show:

Jean Paul Gautier’s choice model was the talk of the town during the Paris Women’s Fashion Week 2009. The veteran designer stunned everyone, bringing the 51-year-old Inès de la Fressange out of retirement.

Fressange took the ramp in a figure-hugging black dress, much to the delight and cheer of the audience.

Gautier’s ready-to-wear Fall/Winter 2009-2010 collection featured fur-lined jackets and fishnet patterned accessories. The combinations were truly sensuous, with black netting vests peeping out of the casually worn fox and mink jackets. Metallic-gold ponchos and brown leather coats worn with fishnet-patterned belts and fishnet leggings proved to be another eye-opening combination.
