Vionnet Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2016

Calm and charm was the mood. Long and lean were the silhouettes. Light and airy the materials. Evening wear and black tie the dress codes. Goga Ashkenazi who revitalized Vionnet with her take on SS2016 made it clear the brand won’t be a go to label for any 9 to 5 look. An olive green poured pleated chiffon gown and a crafted silver-ish number that followed three looks later were the breathtaking highlights of her collection. Dedicated to woman as nymph the dreamy clothes felt almost ethereal. Yet sporty touches, a number of pants, cris cross lines and T-shirt dresses kept our feet right at the ground. Golden accessories curling up to the models bodies like little twigs appeared so very graceful. Let’s just hope the everyday woman will have plenty of occasions to wear these creations to, so the brand new Vionnet boutique opened in Paris this week can actually do some business.
