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.

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.
The Lanvin Fall 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris is a study in “tender and strong femininity”, according to Bouchra Jarrar, artistic director of women’s wear at the house. For her second collection with Lanvin, Jarrar took things in a more dreamy and romantic direction, stating “It’s not a political act, but in the world we live in today, it’s important to give beauty and love.” Of course, the dresses were paired with flats and even boots, giving things a modern edge.
