Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016

After New York, London and Milan, it was now the turn of the Paris Fashion Week to bring some of the coolest fashion designs to the world.  High end Labels like  Anthony Vaccarello,,Balmain, Christian Dior, Isabel Marant, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton ,Chanel besides many others worked out their magic on the ramps. We bring denim looks from some of these designers in this report.

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton’s collection tries to reflect a future that is influenced by the biker gangs and  Japanese anime. Designed with the digital age in mind where clothing needs to have a visual impact for a population that lives more through its devices then in real life. The collection also portrayed a strong reflection of warrior women who are fierce and in your face. Denim overalls and dresses match up to this portrayal.

Allude

Andrea Karg explored the lightness of summer cashmere in her Spring 2016 collection at Allude., Karg played with deconstruction using recycled jeans and  remaking them as trompe l’oeil skirts and using trouser legs as overlong sleeves. It was new take on using denim by a label !

Chloé

French design house Chloe brought sporty chic to the catwalk on Thursday, presenting  floor-sweeping skirts for women’s wardrobes next spring.Creative director Clare Waight Keller sent models out in indigo, burgundy and beige sporty tops and trousers, slit below the ankle, as she presented Spring/Summer 2016 collection at Paris Fashion Week.

Keller had interesting takes on denim: usually shorts and skirts tied with drawstring and frayed at the edges. For her SS’16 collection, she took inspiration from 1990s looks. .SS16, however, was still a very western, grunge-era look, and one that brought out Chloé’s glory years under Stella McCartney.

Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld  turned the Grand Palais show venue into a sleek airport terminal where everyone was travelling first class. The whole show had the smart passengers (models) moving up and down the terminals creating that life like impression of how a Chanel customer should travel !

It also had that casual element.  For those voyagers who preferred a more casual approach for their onboard attire, some wide cut printed denim trousers paired with  motif intarsia pants and sweaters . Also there were some chic denim dresses with motif prints and some plain button less denim jackets to pair with long skirts. On the whole, an element of elegance added to denim !
