Nina Ricci Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

Nina Ricci’s Fw2019 was a debut collection for newly appointed designers Rushemy Botter and Lisi Herrebrugh. The couple (in work and life) with Dutch and Carribean roots were announced as the new creative forces behind the brand back in August. Botter and Herrebrugh have had their own menswear label (Botter) for some time, but now it was up to them to proof their skills in womenswear design. “They gave us a blank page,” said Herrebrugh at a preview. And so the young designers sent out a colourful, delicate and perfectly tailored collection. Tailored but relaxed, as the clothes moved subtly with every step of the way. Large felt hats made a strong statement, as did the oversized suit jackets, the white sheer cocktail dresses (made of bubble wrap), the coats with orange colored quilted sleeves, the dresses worn over wide legged trousers, the blue bomber jacket and the three voluminous parachute-silk finale dresses in primary colors. “The clothes have to be wearable. They can’t just be for fashionistas. My mother should be able to wear them – normal people deserve to feel comfortable and beautiful too”, Botter said. And the young designers surely succeeded on that mission. And though the international fashion press remains slightly skeptical and reserved, the duo is off to a wonderful start at the 87-year old fashion house. Congrats on a terrific debut collection!

Balmain Catwalk Fashion Show Paris 2019

From dark and grungy to lightweight and pastel colored; Balmain fw2019 was filled with contradictions. “She’s got attitude; she is a troublemaker, and she doesn’t care. She’s defiant, but she is a paradox: She can be sweet and romantic too; she can be an angel . . . or she can be a devil. She cannot be categorized”, said Olivier Rousteing. Well there you go. The first looks were covered in spikes and studs. Yes that’s the dresses, skirts, leather jackets, shoes AND bags. Halfway throughout the collection they made way for a much more delicate image. Like flower embellishments, white fur and bleached boyfriend jeans. Shoulders were strong as ever as the super short A-line skirts couldn’t have been more pronunciated. The finale was dark, dramatic and 3D with floor sweeping capes, architectonic patent leather and bare shoulders, bellies and see through tops. A collection filled with bold statements. We’re curious to see which of them will make it out on the streets (or red carpets).

Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

Dries Van Noten started off rather somber today. The first series of looks that appeared on the concrete runway at Palais de Tokyo were grey colored and pinstriped. Yet with looks the designer changed things up a bit and when we arrived at look #9 the office ready dresscode had made way for cocktail chic when Hannah Motler came on wearing a lilac satin dress with floral embroideries and chunky boots. Those flowers, as it turned out, were inspired by flowers growing in Dries van Noten’s own actual garden. He and his team had been doing some gardening as a video at the end of the show showed us. And so those flowers weren’t picture perfect but had imperfections too. From lilac we slowly moved on to other pastel shades, like ice blue, mint green, powdery pink and light yellow. Shades that worked beautifully (Dries is a master in creating the most gorgeous palettes) with the much more vibrant orange and purple. When mustard and brown shades were introduced all looks had a strong fall sense about them. Dresses were extremely loose fitting and had high necks. A trench and some satin robe inspired coats were cinched at the waist but other than that the silhouette for fw2019 was loose, fluid and roomy. There were enormous floral printed puffers to survive the strongest of winters. As some sheer looks, like an icy blue number with red leave embroidered added to the festive and elegant part of the collection. A finale of partly sparkling dresses (worn with golden gloves and silver boots) and a few tuxedo suits completed the fw picture. Puffer scarf under your right arm and your good to go.

Saint Laurent Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

There was a first and a second half to the Saint Laurent show. One in daylight, one neon/glow in the dark. The first half spoke of all the signature Saint Laurent ingredients; ultra short dresses, strong (this time XX strong) shoulders, bodices and tuxedo jackets. Most looks came in grey or black, there were just touches of red, leopard print and polke dot tights to top it off. Velvet, leather, silk and fur in the mix. Anthony Vaccarello knows what the Saint Laurent customer wants and how to spice things up every season, the strong shouldered coats being his main upgrade for fw2019. As far as the neon part of the show’s concerned; this was more of a fun and colourful pop parade to watch. We could hardly see the looks let alone the models wearing them. Can’t say we wouldn’t like a night out in an off shoulder fur striped neon dress though..

Christian Dior Catwalk Fashion Show Paris FW2019

“Sisterhood is Global” read the T-shirt of the first fw2019 look. The title of a book by Robin Morgan, the American second-wave feminist activist and author, who happened to be in the audience attending the show. And it was already clear we were in for another feminism themed show by Maria Grazia Chiuri. The rest of the fw story spoke of elegant strapless dresses, perfect blazers (like we’ve seen in previous collections) and delicate waist belts. New was the tartan theme that had black/white, black/red and black/green checks all throughout the collection. Nothing says feminism like a pair of quilted pants and a bad ass heavy leather jacket. Also new: the boxy blazers and the rain hats. A perfect contrast with the long, delicate, tulle dresses with embroidered 3D florals. There were no more slogan Tees in the rest of the collection and Chiuri also slowed down on the logomania part. But there was enough signature Dior to wishlist for the next season.
