Starting off with cool camoflauge prints and little safari co-ords Kenzo’s SS2017 line up soon evolved into more funky dresscodes. Like a patent leather skirt worn with a ruffled blouse and a metallic top. Or a skirt and oversized Tee both which had images of Kenzo back in the (Studio 54, just check out this clip) days printed on them. Yet the best chapter of the show started with a parade of shiny disco dresses full of beads and sequins. Studio 54 dressing on fleek. If only we’d still be able to relive some of those marvellous disco dancing nights. But will surely find other occasion to wear that pink dress with handwritten prints and sparkling top to. It deserves a place in the spotlights that’s for sure. Same goes for those chunky earpieces…wow! Carol Lim and Humberto Leon sure found a way to overcome the H&M hype (their collaboration collection is hitting stores next month). This collection of 54 looks will have both fashion critics and Kenzo customers going wild (like Jerry Hall and Pat Cleveland on that stage).

Her Paris Haute Couture debut asked for a follow up. So today Esther Louise Dorhout Mees was back in Paris to present her SS17 collection ‘Orphic’. Inspired by lightning, which is beautiful (to watch) and horrifying at the same time, the talented Dutch designer came up with a feminine collection filled with layered elegance. A line up that really spoke to the audience as soon as the first model (with the frizziest, struck-by-lightning-hair) appeared.
‘‘ORPHIC’ (adj.) Mysterious and entrancing; beyond ordinary understanding’ was about thunder and the designer’s fascination with what happens when someone survives a lightning strike. An exceptional (and rather dreadful) starting point that lead to some exquisite and surprisingly lighthearted looks. Prints referred to both the movement of electricity and the fading it causes as well as scars on a skin.
Fabrics both airy and nacre shiny beautifully worked together in some of the esthetic and arty couture looks as tight corsets, countlessly tied at the back (resembling scars) played a crucial part. Whites, nudes, red and touches of mint formed a graceful pallet, no doubt linked to all things human like skin, veins and blood. And not just the fabrics, but the jewelry and the sneakers too matched the show’s engrossing theme.
Something to think about next time you’re witnessing a thunderstorm..

Three cities down, one to go. Yet before we head over to Paris, we’d like to recap Milan Fashion Week. A week full of fashion abundance. From Prada’s seventies inspired co-ords (including that fur cropped top) to Fendi’s airy aprons. And while Jil Sander and Marni kept things quiet, Gucci and Roberto Cavalli turned things up a notch. If it’s up to the Italian fashion houses colors are going to be vivid (candy pink, royal blue and sunrise yellow, anyone). Both pajama styles as well as military influences (with some eighties shoulders in the mix) are a big theme. We can dress as nomads as well as lolitas next season. And sporty details are to be found in almost any collection. Some Prada shorts and a Versace parka perhaps? Chic leisure it is. Getaway prints (from Dolce’s Italy promotion to the tropical leave prints at MaxMara) that make you dream of next year’s holiday destination. And those clever leather belt bags make it a lot easier to dance the night away in your full on glitter outfit. SS2017 is about celebration fashion in just about any style direction with trends to match anyone’s taste or mood.
