Lanvin Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Paris Fashion Week
Creativ designer of Lanvin ,Alber Elbaz unveiled us his spring/summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection in Paris Fashion Week .How nice it was to see – i’m speaking about live streaming here,-Alber Elbaz putting Lanvin out there on the front line yesterday evening. He staged his spring-summer collection as theater, placing the Lanvin name up in glittering lights at one end of the runway and sending out a show he said was a “manifesto.”
Ruth Bell opend the show,wearing a men’s inspired white dress shirt paired with black slim-fit pants. The first look gave a hint of what was to come—a collection which was heavily influenced by menswear as shown by the subsequent looks including tuxedo inspired jackets and high necklines. The show moved swiftly through “acts.” First, black and white daywear—pants and blouses with balloon sleeves or rippling flounces were followed by chic-simple silk dresses.
Balmain Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Paris Fashion Week
Creativ director Olivier Rousteing unveiled Balmain spring/summer 2016 ready-to wear collection.
And The Balmain Army was out in force this afternoon at Le Grand Hotel in Paris, where Olivier Rousteing informed in the show notes that this season would feature different elements from previous collections. The cast included models -IT Girls- of the moment like Kendall Jenner, Jourdan Dunn and Gigi Hadid.
His upcoming collaboration with H&M made him comb his own Balmain archives, reminding him of the wealth of material that was “the result of four years of hard work,” he said. Four years is a long time in his industry and as a result he deemed it time to introduce new ideas for spring and to broaden the Balmain DNA. that most prominently manifested in tiered ruffles (flounce is shaping up to be a big story next season): they cascaded on trousers, along sleeves, and bib-fronts adding a romantic femininity to the fierce sex appeal of the whip-stitching, fishnets and strong shoulders also out in force. This new found softness also rippled through via a pretty pastel palette – the nude tones, like the new silhouettes, all served to temper Balmain’s customary opulence.
Rousteing credited the power of the house’s social media presence as a vital ingredient to its success in moving forward, confident that all the dresses we saw this afternoon would be shared and shared again on various platforms very soon. .
Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2016 ready-to-wear collection – Paris Fashion Week
Artistic director Sebastien Meunier said the collection was titled Rising and that his starting point was the angular unreality of Alberto Giacometti, then added: “It is about the extreme elegance of women; how tall, how bright, how mysterious they can be. I pushed them in a super-elegant, kinky, sadomasochist form.” Yet SM motifs speak of subjugation—albeit consensual—as well as power and so seem only queasily reconcilable with the runway. The oily chartreuse feathering on sleeves and coral-like clusters of quills were here thanks to Meunier’s collaboration on this collection with artist Kate MccGwire. The quilled pieces were simultaneously beautiful and sad, organic reductions into abstraction for the sake of it. The topstitched paneled black tailoring of which the facades veered from biker to tuxedo, the painstakingly ruched black leather pants, and the backless black tank tops–slash-waistcoats with a melee of obi-belt knotting at the navel, all this pieces were sophisticated. And for those who enjoy pain, this was not a pleasure to watch because it was fine.
