Off-White Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

“Track and Field” is the name of Virgil Abloh’s latest Off-White collection. And it couldn’t have been more literal. The catwalk was a street transformed into a running track, a scoreboard above it displayed who was on the runway when as well as their countries of origin. Walking the show were not just familiar faces like Kaia and Kendall, but real athletes too. Like sprinter English Gardner (USA), heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson (UK) or high jumper Cecilia Yeung (HK). They sported Abloh’s famous athleisure looks. Looks which this time more than ever formed a bridge between two contradicting clothing styles. Outfit #19 being the ultimate mix of sports & dressed up; a T-shirt with Nike logo’s sported with a larger than life white and yellow tulle skirt.
Sports & Chic came out in a pair of denim shorts and a velvet top and a pair of velvet pants with a denim jacket. In black sport leggings paired with a long lace skirt on top of it. In white sport leggings with a long floor sweeping gown over it. In a suit jacket that had “OFF” printed onto it in neon letters. A few looks were really just sporty as the finale of snake prints looks wasn’t necessarily sporty nor chic. It did make a bold statement.
Footwear came in the shape of ballet inspired shoes and Abloh’s freshly designed Nike running shoes, the Waffle Racer which look more like a shoe sample.
With 48 looks it wasn’t an extremely big collection, but still it was a lot to take in.

Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

Fresh, grown up, colourful, sophisticated; just a few words to describe what happened at Dries van Noten on Wednesday. His collection for SS2019 was enthusiastically received by the fashion critics, mainly because of the Belgium designer’s focus on his own target group. Dries van Noten isn’t trying to aim at a younger audience (millennials) like most of the big brands nowadays. He is just staying true to his own signature and the costumer he has always had in mind; intelligent 30+ women with good taste. For next summer he imagined those women rocking loose pants, comfy dresses worn over midi skirts, overalls and sleeveless jackets. Like you’d expect from Dries van Noten the color palette with shades of yellow, blue, khaki and turquoise combined with black and white was exquisite. The silhouette/fit super comfy, with utility touches (large, multiple pockets) here and there. Floral prints, striped patterns (even on the shoes) and touches of fur added an extra fun factor. A lott of fabric was used on some of the folded/tied designs, like the blue maxi dress Rebecca Leigh Longendyke sported. A lot of fabric in the looks in general. Dries van Noten isn’t one to state the obvious sexy. When it comes to his well dressed clientele sexiness can be in the smallest details, like an off shoulder top, a sheer dress or an ankle in one of his perfect open summer shoes.

Gucci Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

If only we could step inside and feel the vibe, hear the music and see everyone’s outfits. Le Palace in Paris, a 70s/80s infamous nightclub in Montmartre where Mick Jagger, Karl Lagerfeld and Andy Warhol used to come, was the source of inspiration for Alessandro Michele’s SS2019 collection. And by the looks of tonight it was a club like no others… The dresscode was a perfect mix of party and come as you are. As all models were dressed quite bizarrely, yet acted most careless. They rocked their lurex dresses, harlequin checks pants, strawberry prints, leather suits, velvet jackets and faux fur coats like it was nobody’s business. Gucci’s GG here and there as well as the brand’s checked print. Ruffles de luxe (Ellia Sophia) and the most pronounced shoulders (Katea Gramma). Sunglasses were larger than life (Unia Pakhomova) – a few nerdy glasses here and there too, velvet hats came in extremely thick varations (Petra Koubkova). Chunky necklaces and bracelets, little Swarovski crowns and a few quite sexual accessories (as seen on Paul Hendrik Piho) in the mix. No matter their festive outings models appeared unimpressed/unbothered (or just worn out and numb from all the partying?). Halfway the show Jane Birkin sang us all a song. “Baby Alone in Babylone”, from the namesake album she released in 1983, and it took us all back to the eighties. Traveling back in time might still not be an option Michele brought us close to what it must have felt like back in the days. The ghosts of stars of Le Palace resurrected with just a hint of fantasy, sex. And it made watching a Gucci show in Paris feel oh so natural.

Dior Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2019

Modern female dancers on stage formed the backdrop of today’s Dior collection presentation. Dressed in neutral shaded bodysuits they perfectly blended in with the SS2019 collection of powder hues and earthy tones. And while we’re discussing the show’s theme the clothes seemed like endless variations to ballets costumes. Even the nude footwear was very much ballet inspired. “I wanted to speak about dance with a different point of view. I think that dance and fashion are very close, for they both speak about the body”, Maria Grazia Chiuri stated. And she’s right. Clothes might say something about fashion taste, they might even speak about political issues, but they surely also always portray a certain image of one’s body. Those slender model bodies were perfectly visible in body tight tops and plisse skirts, in draped nude colored dresses, in tailored suit jackets and macramé creations. Almost all looks were worn with a small, delicate and feminine waist belt to accentuate the female body. Some had the CD logo on them as a little branded extra. The logo popped up on bags and bag straps too, but gone were the slogan/logo T-shirts that spread the feminism message so loudly over the last few seasons. Floral wallpaper prints looked dreamy and those handmade macramé details seemed like a lot of work. A structured tulle gown formed the finale piece, a pale yet confident ballet bride on a runway filled with rose petals.
