Dries van Noten Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2014

Strong, glamorous women walked the runway at Dries van Noten on the first big day of Paris Fashion Week. At the first part of the show they sported comfortable, yet elegant black and off white looks, which were given an almost royal touch with the addition of some extra golden pieces. Like golden ruffles on a simple white dress or a gold shaded leather waistcoat that popped up from under a trench. But there was more contrast and the richness wasn’t just in the touches of gold. Linen and cotton pieces contrasted with heavily tasseled cialis online and colorful embroidered creations too. There was luxury in the designer’s vivid floral prints, in his shiny silks and his perfect tailoring. But even with all those extravagant details the Dries van Noten woman stays on the chic side of glamour, never taking it too far. For spring she’ll have a wide range of gorgeous semi casual office/lunch/dinner date looks to pull from. Although the pieces from the finale of extremely ruffled designs will need a special occasion to be worn to. A wedding perhaps, as the designer himself cynically stated backstage.
