Paris Couture Fall Fashion Week - Wednesday & Thursday

Valentino

Like always, whenever I see a Valentino collection I think of fairies in a forest and I love it. The delicate features in the gowns are able to make give an impression of precision and dedication. What I enjoyed the most from the show were the sandals that wrapped around the calves. 











Elie Saab

It's not secret that Elie Saab is one my favorite designers and he never ceases to amaze me. Even though almost all the collections look alike (lets be honest), the detail in each gown makes the difference. I love how easy the gowns were able to transition into the next color with the ombre effect that has been included in the last couple of seasons.










Zuhair Murad

When I first saw this collection I instantly thought, red carpet. Many of the designs seemed elegant the gold belts made them look a little more edgier. Love, love, love!

Paris Couture Fall Fashion Week - Tuesday


On Day 3 of fashion week we saw one of the most beloved and well known fashion houses, Chanel, present a new line for haute couture, as well as among others, like Armani Privé.

Chanel:
I am always skeptical when it comes to Chanel because most recent collections have been so disappointing, but it seems as if  Karl Lagerfeld has had some sort of enlightenment ever since the last show (Resort 2015). There were definitely some misses on the runway but they were shadowed by the hits. I love the gold detailing that were showed in many of the gowns; it made the models look like Greek goddesses (ex: Lindsey Wixson featured bottom left.) 



Parties — Chanel Couture Fall 2014 Backstage

 I am so glad there are no more sneakers in this collection! I love the wrap around sandals.



Armani Privé:
I loved the designs in this new collection, they seemed very appropriate for Fall. Even though this is a couture line, some of the looks tended to look more part of a RTW line but the over the line fur (shown below). The colors used were mainly: black, red, and white.



Alexandre Vauthier:
I feel as if there is a trend this couture season with fur. Vauthier definitely made it his own though. Although I am a fan of lighter colors on the runway, the vampy looks were a plus for me because the whole concept stuck together in many of the pieces. I can see Morticia Addams totally wearing the look on the right!
