THE REVIEW

Day's 6-9 of Paris Fashion Week have finished off with a bang, taking us to the Past and bringing us to the Future.

Valentino

The Valentino #SS17 collection was Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccoiolis' first solo show after previously mentioned Maria Grazia Chiuri left to work for Dior.

His inspiration was El Jardin de las Delicias (The Garden of Earthly Delights), a painting by Hieronymus Bosch during the Northern Renaissance time period.

Piccoioli also asked for some help from Zandra Rhodes because she could understand the concept of softening bright colored fabrics.

We think it was a collab well done, the collection represents both inspirations gracefully for the upcoming Spring.

Alexander McQueen

McQueen’s #SS17 line went through a Scottish immersion.

Sarah Burton brought McQueen back to its Scottish connection and embraced femininity in a gentle way.

The runway was covered in Taatit rugs and gentle lace was sewn in with wool in some of the outfits.

Floral Scottish patterns were also embroidered on a few of the denim and leather fabrics.

Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld paid it forward with Chanel’s #SS17 line.

The designs help us witness the future of technology and how it's shaping fashion and us!

The bright techno patterned outfits had to be the highlight of the catwalk because these fit the pre-conceptions of how technology inspires fashion and of course, visa versa.

The other designs had bits and pieces of older lingerie showing through the famed thick short skirts bringing a sexy and modern look to light!

Louis Vuitton

Nicolas Ghesquiere also brought us into the future with the metallic and electric colors chosen in this collection.

Mettalic sequined jackets and metallic lined pants were elegantly paired with calf high boots.

The cobalt blue makes an appearance again and we think it does great a job standing out on the runway.

The current “it” LV bag this coming season will be the Petite Malle which looks like a mini version of a trunk.

There's even a phone case to match!

Well, that about wraps it up for Fashion Week AW16!

It was an incredible display by everyone and the last few weeks and months have been exhilarating and exhausting all at the same time.

We're inspired and fired up and already onto other hot topics that we'll be sending your way!
