PARIS FASHION WEEK II

In the runaway of Balenciaga what first claim your attention is the models cast, we've seen Gisele Bundchen back on the catwalk for the first time after become a mother and many other great models that were retired for all purposes: Amber Valetta, Carolyn Murphy, Stella Tenant and also a pregnant Miranda Kerr.
Guesquiere has choosen so many different shapes: huge "pied de coq" coats, big sleeves, warrior style, men's shoes and flat sandals for a masculine atmosphere. He has tried different cuts with the innovative shirts with big dots on it and mixing colours on them. Nicolas Guesquiere wants the woman to be back on comfortability, but don't forget the leather strengh with the nice red biker jacket that Carolyn Murphy is wearing: keep rocking your world.

Balmain-mania is almost over, again first thing we liked watching Daria Werbowy on the runaway and noting Carmen Kass has cut off her hair is not a good sign. But anyway, apart from these evidence and the rocky style, capri trousers are on for next summer and yet for these autumn. If one thing Decarnin is not ready to give away is the sexiness of his women, the two corsets make the effect he's looking for but not the perfect match. Something you get tired of already the bleached pants and the cut tights, and something you look forward to the red and silver shinning pants. It seems Decarnin has stuck on Balmain a bit.

    

Isabel Marant has paint a candy and sweet summer, she shows her love for youth and wants not women but girls with personality wearing her clothes, if you want to have fun go for Marant. We love her mix of shorts and boots, the net effect on the t-shirts, the crochet and the cherry dresses. Her song is in between Nancy Sinatra's "these boots are made for walkin" and Grease "Summer Nights", let's eat some gum next summer!

 

At Loewe Stuart Vevers is trying season after season to give a younger look to the brand what for a hundred year old brand based on leather goods is not an easy job, but he's sure making an appealing change. There's chic style all over, and since Stuart is dreaming about butterflies on his clothes he's seen the world in a nice melange of colours and shapes, it's like being in a fruit shop in the caribbean and that's not the main point of the show, mostly the optimism runs errands the show, maybe too much for Loewe?

 


Monday morning dawned dark in Paris at Givenchy and his almost black and white palette; Riccardo Tisci wore his models as a gothic tribe walking through the line of darkness with flow charm and transparencies coming all over from the skirts or the trousers. A remarkable detail is the overlap jackets, the leopard prints and the zippers all over.
