There’s no place more coveted for fashion than Paris. The mecca of all things stylish, suave and breathtaking, Paris is at its best during the Fashion Week season. As the world’s most skilled and renowned designers put forth their collections for Fall 2016, here’s a sneak peek into the glorious french fashion extravaganza.
Ralph & Russo
No wonder, the brand became the first and the only British house to show its collection at the Paris Haute Couture Week. Their sharp aesthetics and unmatched sense of cuts and designs makes them a thing of fairytale desire, when it comes to couture. The use of unusual fabrics, classic-blending-into-modern shapes, with painstakingly assembled embroidery makes the Ralph & Russo collection a spectacle to behold.
Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen’s collections over the years bear testimony to the fact that they’re fail proof. Just look at how brilliant their Fall ’16 collection is. From feminine ruffles and see-through gowns to grungy and bold androgynous pantsuits, they make clothes that are sure to lure one and all, the dreamy girls to goth lovers.
Balenciaga
You’d never have understood ‘layering’ the way Balenciaga displays it on the ramp. Bomber jackets, biker jackets, trench coats, denim hoodies, no matter what you have in your cupboard, Balenciaga shows you how to style it better andin the most unique way. Also, this collection shows you how to go all pop-arty with an assembly of colours that will turn you into a picturesque landscape.
John Galliano
John Galliano has brought out so much beauty with this collection that’s really an ode to embracing yourself for what you are. Now that’s rare in the fashion world. From putting out a stunning black, layered gown that symbolises the sophisticated ballroom elegance, to creating a band gilr’s attire decorated with berets and cropped sweaters, Galliano displays versatility at its best.
Zuhair Murad
Gothic chic is back and how. The new twist to Zuhair Murad’s collection, that brings forth the goth look in the most charming way possible, catches your eye almost immediately. There’s leather and there’s velvet, but to balance it out there are equal amounts of sheer fabric as well as butterfly and floral motifs. If you’re ready to step out in your boldest avatar, Murad is your man.
