SEPTEMBER IS THE FASHION INDUSTRY'S NEW YEAR. The start of autumn means reinventing your wardrobe to be the woman you've always wanted to be, whether it's finally succumbing to French girl style, or buying your first leather trousers for a femme fatale look. Fall campaigns — much like fashion editorials — are a reflection of their time, pointing to the zeitgeist of the moment as much as articles or features. The mood for this autumn? Well, it's a positive one, simply look at Missoni's colourful campaign, or the promising new look of DVF under Jonathan Saunders; and an imaginative one, cue Gucci's 60s sci-fi campaign complete with extra-terrestrial creatures and dinosaurs. So, whoever you want to be this fall, make it a stand-out.
If you loved the Saint Laurent Fall 2017 RTW collection, you will adore this one, for the Isabel Marant Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection has the same rock n' roll vibe, but with a little more feminine refinement typical of the designer. There were ’90s supermodels Amber Valletta and Carolyn Murphy, and '80's statement pieces (think oversized earrings, metallic finishes and rhinestones), and pretty ensembles consisting of ruffly silver tops paired with crystal-encrusted denim. There were big-shouldered blazers cinched with wide leather belts and paired with glittery shoes, ruffly mini skirts with super-tall over-the-knee boots and an altogether perfect wearability in a collection tinged with a little sexiness for good measure.
GUILLAUME HENRY is said to have been inspired by the American Wild West for the Nina Ricci Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection in Paris, siting the Ricci woman a traveler enamoured with the notion of the "urban cowboy". There were silver-tipped and pointed collars, bolo ties and shearling, but thankfully, these rodeo-style adornments were more of an aside to the expert layering of corduroy, leather and lace, the pale shades of dusky rose and daffodil, the shimmery cowl-neck day dresses and perfectly tailored blazers and belted coats ...
A LOVE LETTER TO PARISIAN STYLE best describes Giambattista Valli's vision for the spring. In the midst of a wave of politically-charged collections mirroring the events shaking up the globe, the romantic melancholy presented on a rainy Parisian morning was a welcome addition.
