Sonia Rykiel has provided a show with over 100 looks for Paris fashion week; incredible. More than the fact that she had a very long and dramatic show is that every look was good. The collection had a theme of Paris' fashion timeline with subtle influences from abroad. It was sexy and seductive yet sophisticated and chic. This is one show that you would have had to be there to completely understand. At one point during the show all of the models came out and began to playfully walk and frolic on the runway in these very playful dresses that involve a ton of movement. This is one of the most thought out shows that I have seen since Lagerfeld's Chanel tower.
Victor & Rolf have created this fantasy collection for runway; what a show! It was a true testament to creativity and imagination. There were candy cane's, and other creations that show the ode to fantasy like the one seen above and then there was the skirt with reverse ruffles that appeared to be climbing the skirt that showed there are no limits to imagination. The looks were a joy to view.
Karl Lagerfeld delivers yet another good collection. As amazing as it is that he does three lines the truely amazing fact is that they do not resemble each other. This KL collection is a reflecton of himself in the feminine form. This collection is the answer to the question: If Karl Lagerfeld were a woman what would he feel pretty in? The crazy thing is as many KL style notes are sprinkled throughout this collection it is still beautiful and isn't overly masculine. The slight masculine notes make it edgy. Good job.
Riccardo Ticsi has done a smashing good job with this collection for Givenchy. There was a concentration on the construction of the garments that was conveyed through the presentation. Most of the designs resembled actual architectural designs, I found the parallel quite interesting. The whole presentation proved to be a good show. I selected this look because it is all black but yet certain parts of it speak louder than others. Look at the structure of the arms and the design on the front of the top.
