Balmain Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Paris

Olivier Rousteing’s army of Russian supermodels presented his latest work at the the Palais Garnier. A special location for Rousteing since the first trip he ever made to Paris he watched the ballet at this very venue. Therefore his show today seemed to have a deeper layer to it. It was not just about pretty clothing and a hot looking glamazone squad. There was a subtle change noticeable that might have originated from Rousteing’s desire to work a little more from the inside out as he spoke of his adoption backstage after the show. Getting to know Rousteing a little better resulted in strong and sexy looks with a slightly more loose silhouette. Body tight dresses had playful ruffle details and there were even some loose ‘sweaters’ and suit jackets. Patent leather and metallic detailing popped up in almost every single look as the color palette of black and whites only changed towards the end of the show when touches of red and blue spiced things up. Oh and since strong shoulders are back in fashion, of course Balmain re-rocked that trend to the fullest.

Chloé Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Paris

Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s delivered a strong debut collection for Chloé on Thursday. A cohesive line-up of definite Chloé looks, yet with the right dose of freshness and input from Ramsay-Levi’s creative talent. There were references to different periods the label has seen, at times when designers like Stella McCartney, Karl Lagerfeld and Hannah MacGibbon were in charge. Influences of the past mixed with prairie dresses, python skirts and high collared blouses and waist jackets. All made in a palette of faded colors and sandy tones. Except for a printed blue velvet jumpsuit and red snake skin ensemble that popped up halfway the show. Leather boots, asymmetric earrings and a new it-bag – the Mini Drew Bijou that is already available for pre-order – flew right to the top of every fashion girl’s wishlist. And trust us, there were more than enough it-items for the ‘Chloé girls’ to get their hands on. Ramsay-Levi is off to a good start.

Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Paris

Sandy tones made way for yellow and lilac at the Dries van Noten show earlier this week. The new collection evolved around one item, the carre scarf used in many different ways. A sheer blouse had two scarves attached to it, a tunic dress seemed made out of one big silk scarf and summer dresses elegantly had a scarf attached (draped) from right shoulder down. As always at Dries van Noten the prints were mesmerizing, classy, warm and made out of the loveliest color palette. A floral printed bomber jacket, a long lilac trenchcoat and a sea star embroidered skirt seemed like the ultimates must haves for next summer. The ultimate accessory? A silk scarf, of course.

Kenzo Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Paris

Colorful, funky, young, refreshing, that’s the vibe we got from yesterday’s Kenzo show. And that was exactly where Carol Lim and Humberto Leon were aiming for as they told the press this time around they just wanted to have fun. Colorful stripes combined in one look had a sporty feel to them. Floral prints (in brights and pastels) felt fresh and thanks to the styling in no way frumpy. In fact the show really was all about on point styling as every hat, crazy pair of sunglasses, chunky earring or buckle bag seemed meant to be. The casting turned out to be all Asian, but this felt so natural and in line with the vibe of the collection I didn’t even really notice it, until it was officially stated. What a bold, brave and beautiful show this was.

Saint Laurent Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Paris

The set-up of Saint Laurent’s fashion show was so enchanting even the ones missing out on a ticket to this master spectacle (and watching from home on their phones) must have gotten chills just from looking at it. A runway built just below place de Trocadéro with the absolute best view on a sparkling Eiffel tower formed the backdrop of backdrops for the Paris born brand.

And as mesmerizing as that backdrop was as vibrant and glorious was Anthony Vaccarello’s collection. It included influences of the work of the young Yves Saint Laurent as well as the sexiness and boldness of what Saint Laurent stood for the last couple of years. Leather shorts and low cut, embroidered statement making blouses paired with boots and chunky earrings had written the words it-girl uniform all over them. Beautifully crafted white lace tops and blouses put everything on display yet still managed to look sophisticated and highly desirable paired with black leather shorts. A series of architectonic ballerina inspired party numbers formed the ultimate finale of a sexy, strong, sophisticated SS2018 collection.

A collection filled with extremely powerful looks that didn’t let the Eiffel tower steel their shine. An enchanting spectacle, an absolute impressive collection, an homage to the YSL history but more so a glorious tribute Yves life partner Pierre Bergé, who passed away earlier this month at 86.

Dior Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear SS2018 Paris

While slingback shoes, a look instigated by Dior, are now officially taking over the streets Maria Grazia Chiuri has already moved on to a new look. That of knee high mesh boots, we’re now slightly skeptical over, but might just make the cut when it’s SS2018. After all Maria Grazia Chiuri has a background in accessories and made a huge score with her J’adore slingback last season.

She seemed to have hit the right note with her turn to feminism too, as it’s becoming a ‘thing’ all over fashion. So she elaborated a little further on that subject. It was in the small details, but she introduced a new T-shirt too. ‘Why have there been no great women artists?’ was printed on the very first look she sent out. What followed was a highly diverse collection of denim (on denim) looks, Parisian vibes in the shape of striped tees and berets, (young!) sheer dresses, frilly skirts and some shiny sequined disco numbers that had ‘Christian Dior’ written on the straps. Heart shaped prints, dots, checks and even some dragon and spider appliques made their way on to the runway. Enough styles to choose from for the young feminists that aD(i)ore the brand.
