Louis Vuitton - SS18

Louis Vuitton

Spring Summer 2018 Collection - Paris Fashion Week

Imagine you are appearing on a BBC costume drama, and forget to take off part of your costume, and casually act as if the piece of ornate 18th century clothing has always been in your wardrobe, and you throw on some comfy sports shorts and trainers to pop down to the shops to get yourself some milk? Picture it? Well you don't really have to, because Nicolas Ghesquière over at Louis Vuitton this season that was just that. Half 18th century nobility dress, half 21st century athleisure. Sounds a tiny bit odd, but I think this is the next big thing.

Set in the Louvre around the original medieval fortress foundations, the set also mixed history with modernity. We had on one hand the well preserved ruins and walls of the fortress, and then a lighted runway, in which models strutted their stuff along in some serious LV sneakers.

Take a look at the looks from the show.

CHANEL - SS18

CHANEL

Spring 2018 Collection - Paris Fashion Week

 

Back to the Grande Palais for yet another monumental Chanel fashion show, courtesy of fashion god Karl Lagerfeld.

On a set embodying Gorges du Verdon, in the South of France, models walked alongside a huge waterfall, over a water pool. Rather fittingly, to go with the water, within the collection there were a lot of waterproofs, in the form of clear plastic accessories. At least if it rains next summer we can keep dry and look good. Also, check out the waterfall fringing on literally everything. Basically dressing up as a waterfall is going to be in next season? No? In all seriousness, the trend vibes we are getting from the collection is Sixties Futurism, in the most Chanel way possible.

For the beauty, they had a very sixties inspired statement eye paired with slightly bronzed cheeks and a orangey red lip and the hair tied back but slicked down at the scalp. (See imagery)

Dior - Spring 2018 Collection

Dior

Spring 2018 Collection - Paris Fashion Week

 

Maria Grazia Chiuri does it again with a stunning collection for the house of Christian Dior at Paris Fashion week. Famed for her feminist themes through previous collections, the latest edition is on par with her previous work. We see the return of the slogan tee, which sent high street stores frantically producing "feminist" t-shirts last time around, all thanks to Chiuri.

 

Steering back towards the collection Spring 2018 collection, the colour palette is mainly blue, similarly to the previous Dior collection shown earlier this year. Perhaps the blue is a result of all the denim used in the collection, so is it safe to say denim will be trending next season? So thats leather AND denim now. Keep a note of these and you're sure to be ahead of the game come next season.

There is also a lot of monochromatic looks which we also saw in the latest Saint Laurent Collection and a racing jumpsuit, similar to the vibes over in New York at the Ralph Lauren show. But if you really are wanting to channel a bit of Chiuri's Dior next season, just think "what would a Parisienne wear" and you'll hit the nail on the head.

Saint Laurent - Spring 2018

Saint Laurent

Spring 2018 Collection - Paris Fashion Week

What is the most iconic things that come to mind when you think of Paris?

For us, The Eiffel Tower and Fashion. So what happened at Paris Fashion week this time? Saint Laurent completely topped Chanel's Eiffel Tower inside The Grade Palais set at Haute Couture earlier this year, with a runway smack bang in front of Paris's most iconic landmark (the real one, not a scaled down model).

As for the collection and the pieces themselves, we saw many billowing silhouettes and cinched in waists and of course some typicalSaint Laurent plunging necklines. We love the accessories to this collection, which are very poetic and Parisienne, just check out those feathery over the knee boots. They are surely making it onto our most coveted list for next summer. Interesting, and yet again, dark leather is cropping up in another spring summer collection. So I think it is safe to say, if you invest in leather pieces now, they will still be hot (pun intended, especially in warm weather! Can you just imagine!) next season.
