Alexander McQueen Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

Multiple piercings in their ears, a choker around their neck and their slick hair worn backwards, Alexander McQueens models were true punkers entering the runway. They sported statement making dresses. Colorful and printed, completely ruffled, adorned with studs and metal and completely covered in sequined tassels. True showstoppers with a cinched waist. The asymmetric sharp suits were just as impressive. Checked, pinstriped, asymmetric and draped. Dressing up was never this versatile. Three of the voluminous finale dresses were made out of endless fabric and shaped like a rose. That’s red carpet material right there.

Stella McCartney Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

The models had tattoos reading “Vegan”, the catwalk had love messages printed onto it and on Instagram the hashtag #thereshegrows was trending. With her rain forest conservation project in mind or better said, as a starting point, Stella McCartney sent out belted coats, high waisted cargo pants and structured dresses. A lot of details was put into these coats with multiple pockets, strong shoulders and high collars. Perfect tailoring was alternated with more supple, airy dresses. Accessories in the form of necklaces and belts made of fabric from previous collections were the only things that looked a bit odd, yet gave this collection an extra signature touch. The bucket bags with branded straps will no doubt become bestsellers.

Valentino Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

Remember when Piccioli joined forces with Jun Takahashi of Undercover for their menswear collection in January? Well they continued their collaboration for this collection too as they morphed together a print of a 19th-century neoclassical sculpture of kissing lovers with a pop/punk image of roses. The prints (that definitely felt a bit off/out of the box for the classic Roman fashion, but perhaps it could use this fresh breeze) house appeared on coats and dresses. With more bare legs in sight than we’ve seen in while this collection also seemed aimed a Valentino woman who is a little younger. She’ll wear mini skirts and skater dresses (the most elegant ones out there, of course) paired with capes and architectural bucket hats. Jewel tones on the models eyes, their hair in a perfect chignon. Luckily there was a true Valentino finale as well. At least twenty floor sweeping gowns concluded the fw2019 show. Most super lightweight and airy, with lots of tulle layers (a big trend) and ruffles all over. Mesmerizing, fit for a queen and red carpet proof

Balenciaga Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

And Demna Gvasalia did it again. To an all black backdrop and black runway he delivered yet another (XL, 109 looks) collection filled with statement making, trend setting Balenciaga looks. A series of suits first (the guys wore them with floor sweeping hoodies underneath). For the girls there were short, shiny and tiny party dresses. There were statement trench coats with high collars (one in patent red). Boxy overcoats, blazers and suit jackets (in some of them the models appeared to have no neck). A lot of the pieces looked fit for both boys and girls. The branded shoulder bags looked as if they would sell out like hot cakes. As did those B-pendant necklaces. The logomania remained absent in the rest of the collection. Pops of yellow, turquoise, blue and pink worked beautifully. A turquoise dress with high collar stood out. As well as a shiny pink overcoat (with the cosines of a sleeping bag). A few plaid looks in the mix, as well as some velvet kimono like suits. We can already see our favorite IG girls working these looks (or the high street references to it) the upcoming period.

Junya Watanabe Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

Junya Watanabe really was kinda scary. A girl duo wearing extreme doll-like make-up and blond wigs (worn in two ponytails) looked like the opening scene of an Asian horror movie. Yet the reference was slightly different. The collection is called Kawaii, after the Japanese cult of sugar-sweet cartoon girly-ness. Hence the ponytails and the floral printed pinafore dresses. Still, these girls looked like they were up to no good. More like rebellious teenagers on a misson sporting their bomber jackets, patchwork printed dresses, puffer coats, suit blazers and denim jackets and silver cowboy boots. All models came out in pairs. It made their looks as well as the spooky, ominous side to this show even stronger.

Comme des Garçons Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

It seems scary hairstyles are a turning into a trend. First Prada, then Watanabe and now Comme des Garçon. And as dark as these shows usually already are, it added to the gloomy (almost scary) effect of the show. Like zombies risen from the dead the models had an empty glaze as they walked by sported one after another architectural piece. Black leather, black tulle, black mesh, black lace and a few hints of bright purple, a touch of yellow and red. The mix of textures in the black collar palette made it even more difficult to distinguish one piece of clothing from the other. Military references and lots of indefinable shapes and layers; we’re not quite sure what we’re witnessing here. Yet one thing’s for sure: the picture aint that pretty. But then again that’s never Rei Kawakubo goal now it it?

Haider Ackermann Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

Boys and girls walked the Haider Ackermann runway on Saturday. But it was hard to tell them apart from a distance. Apart from a subtle eyeliner the ‘beauty looks’ were the same. No make-up and slick hair worn backwards. The clothes were interchangeable as well. Tailored trousers and sharp cut jackets in (mostly) black, white and red. Stripes, checks, jacquard patterns and polka dots gave the collection it’s signature touch. Props for the high waisted pants and the strong shouldered sweaters. And the biggest round of applause for those oversized coats. Simple, yet stunning with just the right touch of detail to them.
