Paris Fashion Week highlights: Hermes
By Andrea Petrou on October 7th, 2010
The Paris Fashion Week whirlwind came to an end last night, with fatigued fashionistas giving out their final air kisses before packing their designer bags and heading back home.
However, that was after they had watched the last PFW show, which was of course Hermes. Not only did this close the event but also marked the end of Jean Paul Gaultier’s seven year designer stint at the house.
And what a finale it was. JPG gave us a stunning collection with a strong nod at the equestrian theme and the brand’s leather saddle making past by marching horses up the catwalk.
Leather made an appearance in tailored jackets, trousers and of course trousers. As you would expect with such a theme there were also jodhpurs and, quite originally jumpsuits, which were wound into the theme thanks to suede patches.
There were waistcoats and thick leather corsets as well as chiffon dresses for the evening.
It’s a show we’ll definitely remember..until next season at least.

Paris Fashion Week highlights: Sonia Rykiel
By Andrea Petrou on October 6th, 2010
Like many designers at our own LFW, Sonia Rykiel took inspiration from the 70s for her SS2011 collection at Paris Fashion Week (if we’re honest we weren’t expecting anything different from the kooky brand.)
Dungarees in orange and pink, spotted and striped and with tapered and baggy legs, thumped down the catwalk.
Alongside these were knitted striped dresses, tops and shorts, as well as the must-have platforms, which of course were trademarks of this era.
Bur the brand also gave a smarter look sending out evening clad models in loose dresses with
kimono sleeves, or a bare-armed, low-cut knitted dress.

Paris Fashion Week highlights: McQueen
By Andrea Petrou on October 6th, 2010
It was the show the fashion world had been waiting for, McQueen’s collection, without the brilliant designer himself.
Sarah Burton who took the reigns as creative director of the brand following the tragic death of McQueen, made her debut collection last night at the Parisian show with a gentle contradiciton to McQueen’s wild side.
Beautiful dresses with feathers and butterflies flowed down the runway, however Burton also gave a sympathetic nod to McQueen’s statement styles with narrow tailcoats and low-rise trousers, which followed the McQueen silhouette as well as the use of prints and ribbon embroideries, which were trademarks of the style of the last few years.
Giving a nod to her theme of decaying nature Burton also incorporated long, off-the-shoulder dresses in an abstract leaf print , a long white halter dress with a wide gold leaf belt and a gray shadow print at the hem into the collection.
We think the soft, yet striking collection is a great start of things to come from the young designer and friend or the late Lee Alexander McQueen.

Paris Fashion Week highlights: Chloe
By Andrea Petrou on October 5th, 2010
By Emily Borrett.
Chloe has been one of the most-referenced labels when it’s come to the camel trend this Autumn/Winter with their offering of 70s silhouttes, fabrics in camels and gold and sexy Farrah Fawcett-style hair. Well, fast-forward a couple of decades and you’ve just about arrived at the French label’s Spring/Summer collection, which was very nineties and minimalist
The order of the day seemed to be clean, simple – but not prissy – shapes, the best of which was the funnel-necked princess coat which was sent down the runway in both scarlet and cream with some beautifully ladylike gold buttons, fashion’s favourite fastener at the moment.
While everyone’s favourite camel tones were not completely absent from the collection, in the form of buttery-looking leather crop tops and coffee-coloured pleated chiffon, like many designers at the moment Chloe seemed to be repping their love for good old-fashioned Parisian monochrome in cream and black separates. Having said that, the collection was far from generic, with fashion creative director Hannah MacGibbon really making it Chloe’s own. Curve accentuating pencil skirts and pleated chiffon were teamed up with boxy leather crop tops, deliciously girly sheer midi-skirts were worn with extremely mini miniskirts underneath and the classic high-waisted shorts style was vamped up with hella black leather.

Paris Fashion Week highlights: Stella McCartney
By Andrea Petrou on October 5th, 2010
Beth Ditto took a front row seat to watch Stella McCartney’s SS2011 offerings and of course she was joined by Sir Paul who turned up to support his daughter.
As corny as it may sound, we think she did him proud with her latest collection.
Androgenous suits comprising of sharp blazers and tailored high waisted trousers in pale colours including blue and shimmering beige marched down the catwalk.
However, these weren’t the only delights with tuxedos for evening wear and polo shirts under suits.
Moving away from the mannish look McCartney also gave us a range of cute flowing dresses in bold colours, some with splits and some with pleats.
