PARIS FASHION WEEK Spring 2015 // Armani Privé

Mr. Armani problably doesn't know how to make ugly clothes, I imagine that even if he tried he would fail miserably. 

This collection has a very strong asian influence, from the traditional japanese silhouettes with the belted kimonos to the bamboo prints and bamboo runway. The soft pastel color sugest some tranquility and serenety to this collection that resignates with the Armani woman, one can only hope to become one some day.

New in...

When I first saw this coat I honestly thought I wouldn't have a chance in hell to have it, first it was too expensive for a faux leather coat that doesn't protect you at all from the cold and second because I thought everyone would love it has much has I did and it would be sold out by the first week. Well, it's not yet sold-out (everyone must have lost their minds, it's the only plausible explanation) and the price is very, very reduced wich means that ... It's mine. It's a badass coat that makes me feel like I'm in the 70's fighting crime along side Shaft (very old Tv series reference) or something when I wear it ...

Overwhelmed

So I really don't know where to beguin... Couture week is by far my favorite fashion week. I dare say that seeing one of these shows in person in first row is on my bucket list, not because of the status associated with being seated in that row among major fashion icons and celebrities but because I would be able to apreciate every detail and details are what couture is all about. When I was in London I visited the Victoria and Albert Museum and was able to see couture pieces in person and the experience was so special that I had chills with some of the dresses.

These last four days in spite of the beautiful weather outside I found myself stuck at home babysitting my new friend/homewrecker/puppy/cuttest thing on earth and that gave me time to see every show so far. I feel overwelmed with so many outstandingly beautiful things to behold. Like Freddie Mercury sings, it´s a kind of magic,

PARIS FASHION WEEK Spring 2015 // Atelier Versace

It all starts with Atelier Versace with fully dressed women in fitted tailleurs with amazing flare pants that made me wish I had the hight that allows you to rock this style of pants. Slowly introducing volume  and cutouts, the female body starts to appear and the Versace woman starts to take shape. The color palette is strong but unnapeling to me, black, white, royal blue and red, this only makes sense if the Versace house is unapologetically trying to appeal to the "all american" woman. Not much more can be said about this collection that to me doesn't have the appeal of a couture show.

The "power suit" with flare pants

Belts, huge belts

and...  transparecies and cutouts that show off the body has only Versace woman can.

IT'S HERE!!

Dreaming of this...
