Fashion Trends for Fall/Winter Saison  are  *70’s Are Big Again and 70s Chic Style Warps into 80’s!*
And Olivier Rousteing  channeled Seventies and Eighties in Balmain F/W 2015-2016  Collection.
“I wanted to look at the seventies in Paris—but for me, it doesn’t mean the flares—it means the diversity, when so many strong women, white, black, Asian were modeling,” – Olivier Rousteing was saying passionately, backstage before his Show  in Paris Fashion Week, on March 5, 2015.
Rousteing was inspired by prints from the Balmain archives which reflected an exotic time in Paris history. The clothes looked stunning:
The Runway Looks* are short ruffled cocktail dresses, velvet parkas slung over the shoulder, gold beading and lace body suits, pleated skirts, and high waisted palazzo pants in pumpkin orange, sea green and fuchsia, along with blazers and dresses made with beaded fringe. Extra-wide belts complemented most outfits. The clothes are sure to attract young women who live or want to live a glamorous Lifestyle.

Emporio Armani Fall/Winter 2015-2016 Collection – Runway *Looks* to fall in love!

Emporio Armani Fall/Winter 2015-2016 collection was shown in Milan Fashion Week,  on February 27, 2015.
A few words about collection:
Emporio Armani is classic Italian fashion in its purest form and this season was as smart, timeless and deadly serious as you’d expect. Overwhelmingly made up of office-appropriate separates, Armani played with subtle changes in silhouette as wide black leather frills wrapped around waists and over shoulders. Those same unfussy frills appeared at the end of sleeves, over hips and on the pockets of a fabulous two-tone fur coat.
Fur was used innovatively  on a skirt and jacket as a trim on what looked like purple silk petals, while shapes largely remained conservative. At the same time, there was a folkloric tinge to the floral appliqués on gray wool skirts, or a long quilted red coat, or a puff-sleeved dress that felt like a little girl’s look writ adult. The low-slung, wide-cut trousers had a Petrouchka feel. An artisanal knit subtext peaked with a couple of jumbo mohair sweaterdresses
That’s not to say this collection had no bite, details in red ran through the otherwise dark and muted palette lifting it into something a little more dangerous. . Shoes were secured at the ankle with thin straps or bound on with what looked like thick black ribbon and were wicked in the best possible way.

Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 – Glamour pure!

Ulyana Sergeenko Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Collection.
Communal Apartments in the USSR aren’t generally associated with glamour, yet the Kazakhstan-born designer presented her own dramatic, glitzy version of living conditions under Marxism-Leninism.
 There were long hems, lampshade volumes and soft fabrics like velvet and satin for the once grandes dames, ex-owners of the 10-room homes they now shared with peasants dressed in traditional motifs – one black-and-white dress with a lace panel representing a squirrel paired with a fur bonnet stood out .And the festive spirit was still there, explored through a series of naïf draped or plissé dresses covered in embroidered and printed confetti, and not-so innocent boudoir pieces in embroidered pale blue silk and peach crêpe. A bejewelled babydoll dress worn with a velvet-and-fur ice-cream cone bag had a whiff of Mikhail Bulgakov to it. Flower embroideries in a burgundy jacket-and-skirt ensemble turned the model into a poupée russe. But that’s where Sergeenko’s talent lies: in thoroughly exploring Russian imagery, and almost (if not quite) giving it a humorous Twist.
Top model Natalia Vodianova,one of the best friends of Ulyana said :
„It’s a brand that has an incredible potential. … I actually have a big passion for craftsmanship and I think that Ulyana is an incredible force behind Russian craftsmanship.
She’s gathering young and old women from all over Russia in her atelier in Moscow. She now has over 100 full-time people employed in embroidering, carving and doing beading and all kinds of work that goes into her collection.
Ulyana is the reason that all women in Moscow dress like princesses.“

Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2015-2016 Collection – *Mirabilia Romae* Collection.

Valentino Haute Couture  A/W 2015-2016 Collection – *Mirabilia Romae* Collection .
Haute Couture final Show in Rome.Valentino presented his *Mirabilia Romae* collection in the best traditions of Alta Moda Show which we can enjoy only in Italy.In best traditions of *Made in Italy*
The sun is setting in Rome and the voices of the choir are heard loud and clear, like angels descended from Heaven. There is such a beautiful, spiritual setting to the Valentino Haute Couture A/W 2015-2016 Collection presentation at the Piazza Mignanelli. The collection was as incredible as expected from Valentino genius minds – Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the venue moved from Paris to Rome,  for final show of  Haute Couture Week . Resounding applause by the fully filled up event was to be expected, as dusk set in and the onlookers tasted the last bit of couture, until the winter season rolls around with presentation for the coming spring.
It is a grand finale for a truly grand show. The collection was  named the Mirabilia Romae . Rome is the Eternal City, and we could see the proof of that easily as the final collection of the Paris Couture Fashion Week was staged not in Paris,  but in Rome. It was the Top of Haute Couture Week!
