Balmain Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2014

Checks, strong shoulders and models walking in a powerful pace; Olivier Rousteing’s spring collection was recognizable as Balmain from a mile distance.

Ann Demeulemeester Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2014

Where other, normally moody, designers are going for a slightly happier vibe for SS2014, Ann Demeulemeester stayed true to her black and white darkness. Although she did sent out a few looks in bright red, her pale, long and lean models with faces hidden underneath enormous headpieces still reflected the fashion label’s darkness.

Stripes and floral influences were put in the mix on several ensembles as wide leather belts (or were those skirts?) and ankle boots (sometimes with peep toes) added toughness to the collection. Whether the Demeulemeester girl is in for showing some leg in a pair of super shorts (the first look) or feels like covering cialis generic drug up in a long and floor sweeping skirt – perhaps dress? (the last look); with a collection full of transparent pieces to choose from she will make an airy appearance in any case.

Linen and cotton pieces contrasted with heavily tasseled cialis online and colorful embroidered creations too. There was luxury in the designer’s vivid floral prints, in his shiny silks and his perfect tailoring. But even with all those extravagant details the Dries van Noten woman stays on the chic side of glamour, never taking it too far. For spring she’ll have a wide range of gorgeous semi casual office/lunch/dinner date looks to pull from.
