Loewe Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

Our review will follow shortly. For now please enjoy our images.

Lemaire Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

The guys and girls on Lemaire’s runway looked confident and fresh in the designer’s monochrome looks. Everyday pieces with just the right edge and chicness. Like a chocolate brown colored pants and a shirt (menswear). Or the sand colored pants, shirts and coat, worn with a fanny pack and black leather boots (womenswear). Lots of monochrome layering, lots of fabric and straps around cuffs, waist and ankles gave the collection a utility touch. Black paint spatters formed a print on a few of the white looks. A pastel yellow dress/coat looked as desirable as it looked comfy. Lace-up details at calf length added a slight touch of sexiness to the everyday looks. For next season Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran might try to excite us just a little more. They need to convince us it’s Lemaire and only Leimaire who can hook us up with monochrome overalls, stains spot polka dot prints and lace up trousers.

Rick Owens Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

Rick Owens today felt as experimental as some graduation shows feel like (or it’s the graduation collections that are inspired by Rick Owens). His pale faced models sported the most structured designs which, according to the show notes, were inspired by the Tower of Babel and Tatlin’s Tower, a design by the early-20th-century Russian architect Vladimir Tatlin for a monument that was never built. They dragged around the long pieces of fabric from their heavy, folded, cut-out clothes. They wore metal headpieces and arm cuffs. Some models carried a torch around which led to a large fire heating up Palais de Tokyo and mostly everyone at the front row. Large collars, large cuffs, long sleeves (tied around the models bodies) large pockets (did we spot anything fanny pack looking?) chunky footwear and XL sunglasses. It felt industrial, dark, gloomy and in some way experimental. Even though Rick Owens knowns damn well what he’s putting out there. Scratch that, he knows best.

Chloé Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

We haven’t seen this many prints at Chloé in a while. Especially the mix of multiple scarf prints which had an Etro touch to them, felt different. And apart from the prints the collection was high on accessories too. Like the statement sculptural earrings, the necklaces, the rings, the cuffs and the rope belts the wavy haired models wore. Gem stones attached to the clothes made up for true show stoppers too. Not to mention the bags (Chloé slagship), which seemed quite formal compared to the loose, effortless style of the clothing. The looks felt slightly hippie inspired. Rianne van Rompaey opened the show in a one shouldered satin dress with a flared sleeve and a hip belt with a long printed scarf (sarong inspired) attached to it. Marte Mei van Haaster sported loose printed pants, a printed cropped top and a beige colored bold blazer. Rebecca Leigh Longendyke sported a ceramic printed skirt with frayed ends and a logo T-shirt, which is rare for a brand like Chloé. A selection of delicate plisse numbers formed the finale of an effortless collection. And now just like Natacha Ramsay-Levi we want to book a trip to Ibiza or Morrocco, or both!

Off-White Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

“Track and Field” is the name of Virgil Abloh’s latest Off-White collection. And it couldn’t have been more literal. The catwalk was a street transformed into a running track, a scoreboard above it displayed who was on the runway when as well as their countries of origin. Walking the show were not just familiar faces like Kaia and Kendall, but real athletes too. Like sprinter English Gardner (USA), heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson (UK) or high jumper Cecilia Yeung (HK). They sported Abloh’s famous athleisure looks. Looks which this time more than ever formed a bridge between two contradicting clothing styles. Outfit #19 being the ultimate mix of sports & dressed up; a T-shirt with Nike logo’s sported with a larger than life white and yellow tulle skirt.
Sports & Chic came out in a pair of denim shorts and a velvet top and a pair of velvet pants with a denim jacket. In black sport leggings paired with a long lace skirt on top of it. In white sport leggings with a long floor sweeping gown over it. In a suit jacket that had “OFF” printed onto it in neon letters. A few looks were really just sporty as the finale of snake prints looks wasn’t necessarily sporty nor chic. It did make a bold statement.
Footwear came in the shape of ballet inspired shoes and Abloh’s freshly designed Nike running shoes, the Waffle Racer which look more like a shoe sample.
With 48 looks it wasn’t an extremely big collection, but still it was a lot to take in.

Saint Laurent Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

Last night Saint Laurent overruled it’s own show set-up. If the show location the Parisian brand has been using over the last few seasons, namely: the Eiffel tower by night as a backdrop, was already magnificently beautiful. Saint Laurent managed to step up their game. Last night lit palmtrees and water through which the models strutted was added to the spectacle. Talking about levels…
In any case Anthony Vaccarello couldn’t have asked for a more impressive backdrop to present his SS2019 collection. To sum it up the collection was sexy, playful, youthful and a natural follow up for the previous Saint Laurent collections. With skimpy dresses, tough strong shouldered suit jackets, skinny jeans, big belts and big hats. Almost everything was done in black with splashes of color in the shape of red velvet hats and jackets and some star/hearts shaped patches.
During the finale sexy bodysuit (or were these bathing suits?) and sheer floor sweeping dresses alternated each other. All in black with a few leopard printed variations and some sequined numbers. For any party you’d want to attend coming year Saint Laurent is your go to label. But we doubt any party scene will ever look as mesmerizing as tonight’s show was. Goosebumps guaranteed.

Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

Fresh, grown up, colourful, sophisticated; just a few words to describe what happened at Dries van Noten on Wednesday. His collection for SS2019 was enthusiastically received by the fashion critics, mainly because of the Belgium designer’s focus on his own target group. Dries van Noten isn’t trying to aim at a younger audience (millennials) like most of the big brands nowadays. He is just staying true to his own signature and the costumer he has always had in mind; intelligent 30+ women with good taste. For next summer he imagined those women rocking loose pants, comfy dresses worn over midi skirts, overalls and sleeveless jackets. Like you’d expect from Dries van Noten the color palette with shades of yellow, blue, khaki and turquoise combined with black and white was exquisite. The silhouette/fit super comfy, with utility touches (large, multiple pockets) here and there. Floral prints, striped patterns (even on the shoes) and touches of fur added an extra fun factor. A lott of fabric was used on some of the folded/tied designs, like the blue maxi dress Rebecca Leigh Longendyke sported. A lot of fabric in the looks in general. Dries van Noten isn’t one to state the obvious sexy. When it comes to his well dressed clientele sexiness can be in the smallest details, like an off shoulder top, a sheer dress or an ankle in one of his perfect open summer shoes.
