Paris Fashion Week blew it up with the endless sartorial inspiration at the glossy runway! From over-the-top couture gowns to structured dresses and power-dressing, Spring/Summer 2020 was a breath of fresh air for the vogue front and we love it!
From Givenchy and Chanel to Alexander Vautheir and Elie Saab, we saw the best of household couture fashion on the shiny aisle and we're still gaping!
Check out all the labels that made the strut count:
Givenchy
Clare Waight Keller called her collection for Givenchy a love letter. Just as love letters often display their authors’ emotions, Waight Keller’s runway offered ample visual extravaganza. romantic, portable protective enclaves. Turning romantic, portable art into wearable ensembles, Givenchy is giving us a heart full of vogue with their current showcase. We love!
Alexandre Vauthier
Alexandre Vauthier's couture collection focuses on making even the most basic ensemble as a power-outfit. From basic sequins on a shirt to the embellished LBD, AV's couture showcase was all about glamour in simplicity and we love it! Tailored suits and satin gowns featuring broad shoulders and ruffles, gosh... bring it on!
Dior
Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of Dior, puts pressure on the fact of how there is no such thing as feminist or non-feminist dressing. Putting the creative feminine perspective on the front lines, Dior's new collection traces the grassroots of feminine expression on a platter with a smidge of added elegance and glamour. Might not be the most glamourous Dior range, but brownie points for creativity!
Chanel
Viard’s version of Chanel is the Coco who advised taking one accessory off before leaving the house, the designer who made a simple striped T-shirt a byword for chic“I liked the idea of the border, of the schoolgirl, the outfits which were worn by children long ago,” Viard said of this collection. Tunic, blouses, clinched-waist dresses, etc found a part in the collection.
Viktor & Rolf
Taking patch-work statements and mend-a-chic ensembles to the couture runway, Viktor & Rolf cause a serious stir yet again with their current showcase! Keeping it youthful and light-hearted, this collection focused on freedom of fashion and upcycling till the nth bit of your wardrobe.
Elie Saab
Geometric netting, intricate embroidery and the flavor of Elie Saab, the runway has definitely missed this! Gilded in sequins, crystals and embellishments, Elie Saab's showcase was a treat to watch. Something to watch out for very soon, this might just make up for all the blockbuster red carpet looks!
Iris Van Herpen
Iris Van Herpen does it again! Their new collection, 'Sensory Seas' is an aquatic-themed extravaganza serving couture in its truest form. Defining wearable art beyond our knowledge of the seas, we explore the wonder of the unknown fused with vogue. Mesmerizing!
Jean Paul Gaultier
Taking his final bow this couture season, JP Gaultier marked the 50th anniversary of his brand and announced his exit at the Paris Fashion Week runway. With a sashay of utterly bold yet classy outfits and the whos-who of fashion coming to support the iconic designer, Gaultier made his last showcase the kind one would never forget!
An experience of its own, the fashion industry will miss this artist and his artistry at the runway!
