Balmain gave us a phenomenal jacket which draws inspiration from (believe it or not) a marching band uniform. The look has been seen on the likes of: Kanye West, Chris Brown and Usher. Now it has made its way into high fashion. Personally I think it's a great buy so when it is released don't hesitate. The collection was a beautiful mix between good jackets, such as the one seen above and fabulous dresses adorned with sworvski crystals.
Kris Van Assche gave us what I am coining as the "Taylor". Taylor gave us this look last week and this was KVA's first look down the runway. The collection was well put together and it was a great idea. It was really reminiscent to when Gabrielle "CoCo'' Chanel made her clothes to empower women or even when Yves Saint Laurent first put women in suits. This entire collection revolved around the suit and it was very powerful.
Women will clasp hands, jump up and down and sing in unison when they can go out without having to get their feet done. One way to break the religion is to consume the footwear shown in the Rick Owens show. The show was more about construction and attention to detail than pizazz so it had a very minimalist feel to it.

Nina Ricci took us all back to the Victorian era with this dress and others alike. The collection was packed with elegant dresses that had a construction in them similar to that of dresses from the Victorian era, which was a beautiful time for women if I may say so myself. Love the long flowing dress and love the idea of the entire collection.
Nina Ricci wasn't the only one taking notes from beautiful looks of the past. Gareth Pugh gave us a very Joan of Ark, Victorian Era combination; it was amazing to look at. Every look was either a dress inspired by the amour that was used at that time or a huge neck pieces that is completely taken from the style of dressing in the Victorian Era. That neck piece style wasn't limited to the women, as a matter of fact Karl Lagerfeld is known to wear one from time to time with his timeless outfit; the suit. The creativeness involved in this collection is unparalleled. This is my favorite show so far and this is also what I expect a fashion show in Paris to look like.
