The 10 Most Important CollectionsFrom Paris Fashion Week

Though Fashion Month is a full four weeks, the best collections are seen at the very

end during Paris Fashion Week. The biggest designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Hedi

li!ane and "iccardo Tisci #resent their collections, and the !ost shows are #ut on.

With a gaggle of a!a$ing gar!ents being sent down the runway, it can be difficult to

kee# u# with it all %% unless you have countless hours to devote to clicking through

i!ages on tyle.co!.

To hel# you stay abreast of the i!#ortant goings%on in Paris, we&ve rounded u# the

'( !ost i!#ortant collections of the week. to# worrying, start reading and catch u#

on all you need to know fro! PFW below.

Isabel Marant

)t&s safe to say if you want to know the trends for the u#co!ing season, you can look

to )sabel Marant. The designer herself has beco!e an icon for all things French and

chic, and everything she #uts down the runway beco!es instantly coveted by all

*we&re all fa!iliar with the sneaker wedge+. nd it a##ears as though ne-t s#ring, we

are going to want to stock u# on ruffles, ruffles and !ore ruffles.

Balenciaga

fter le-ander Wang received #ositive feedback following his first collection at

alenciaga, it left hi! roo! to #lay. Though the classic alenciaga aesthetic was

#resent throughout his collection, we couldn&t hel# but notice subtle nods to his

na!esake line through rela-ed tanks and s#orty shorts %% now this is a Wang we can

get on board with.

Céline

Phoebe Philo, the creative director of /0line, single%handedly revived the ailing

French brand a few years ago with her !ini!alist a##roach and love of neutrals. ut

this season, she sent a color%s#lashed collection down the runway, #roving that

!aybe orange really is the new black.

Chanel



)t&s not Paris Fashion Week without the /hanel show *or e-travagan$a, in this case+.

With a life%si$ed robot in the sha#e of a /hanel 1o. 2 bottle, it&s hard to i!agine how

anyone could focus on the clothes, but thankfully the so!e odd 34 looks were !orethan enough ti!e to soak it all in. 5f course we saw /hanel classics like tweed suits

and white booties, but there was also a healthy dose of streetwear in the for! of

orange leather trousers and deni! vests.

Saint Laurent

"ock &n& roll !eets Las 6egas was the the!e at the aint Laurent show. "ed li#

!otifs were seen on dresses, tight leather skirts ca!e down the catwalk a !ile a

!inute and there was enough ani!al #rint to last a lifeti!e. Looks like Hedi li!anes#oke with the Mulleavy sisters before creating his collection, as his gar!ents bore

an uncanny rese!blance to the looks we saw at "odarte&s #ring 7('8 show.

i!ench"

Probably one of the !ost talked%about shows during PFW was the bi$arre collection

that ca!e down the runway at 9ivenchy. o!e dee!ed it brilliant, while others were

left scratching their heads at the s!oking #ileu# of vintage cars in the !iddle of the

runway and the se:uined face !asks.

Stella McCartne"

leek, fashionable, #ractical and wearable are always the !ain the!es running

through Mc/artney&s collections, and this s#ring was no different. Her easy%to%wear

se#arates, lu-e fabrics and e-#ert tailoring will always !ake her every editor&s go%to

designer.

#alentino

5#ulence was the na!e of the ga!e at 6alentino. ;!broidered dresses, ta#estry

skirts and e!bellished sandals flooded the runway and showed us why so!eti!es

!ore is !ore.



$le%an&er Mc'ueen

/reative director arah urton cited early twentieth%century !odernis! as the

ins#iration behind her latest collection and what we saw was a !i- of leather bondage bralettes, shoes that rese!bled violent wea#onry and feather turtleneck

dresses %% #erha#s this is urton&s liberal take on !odernis!<

Louis #uitton

With news breaking this !orning that Marc =acobs is officially leaving Louis 6uitton,

his last collection for the venerated French house clearly !arked the end of an era.

The all%black the!e see!ed a##ro#riate, as in so!e ways, we are !ourning a great

loss. Though the air !ight have been sad, there is no denying the beauty in =acobs&gar!ents. The !enswear%ins#ired collection was full of over%the%to#

e!bellish!ents, lavish te-tures and ornate headdresses. He sure did go out with a

bang.
