Balmain - I love Balmain! I just want to put that out there, so yes, I am very biased towards this particular collection! It was cool, hip and sophisticated with monochrome garments opening the show followed by boxy geometric dresses, trousers and shirts in brightly coloured check patterns. As always, the waist was nipped in and the midi skirt was extremely tight, but that's Oliver Rousteing and that's Balmain! Plus with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kendall Jenner, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn prowling the catwalk, this show was a showstopping event. Take it or leave it...
Lanvin - There was drama, depth and darkness to the latest Lanvin collection, designed by the one and only Alber Elbaz. From the stunning minimal maxi dresses which opened the show, to the royal brocade print on trousers and skirts alike at the end of the collection, there were clothes for every occasion, tailored to absolute perfection. I especially loved the stiff jackets and the quality of the fabric. This was Parisian fashion at it's best. Amor.
Balenciaga - Alexander Wang has done it again. His latest rtw collection for the iconic Parisian fashion house was chic, stylised, slick and beautiful. Lovely pastel colours, clingy maxi dresses and draped silks across the shoulders just added glamour to this already luxurious collection. Wang has proved an enormous success, and with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and baby North sitting on your front row, its not difficult to see why!
Vionnet - I don't usually pay much attention to this old fashion house, seeped in heritage, but this show was ABSOLUTELY beautiful! Madeline Vionnet, who made her name during the 1920's and 30's would have been proud of this lovely collection, as her bias cut was used to full effect. The use of fine materials like silk and chiffon was exquisite as well as the beige/cream colours which gave the overall show a sense of understated elegance. Beautiful...
Nina Ricci - Colour blocking, sweeping silhouettes, nipped in waists and elegant proportions. For grown up dressing, you really can't go wrong with a bit of Nina Ricci, especially as their fairytale creations are just so wearable as well as highly sophisticated. I though the cashmere jumpers were divine as well as the sugary sweet, sandals and accessories.
