Paris Fashion Week Packs in the Trends & Carries Them For You
Edited by Jessica Lapidos
And the French get the final say. Paris Fashion Week has drawn to a close and we’ve sifted the runways for the trends that will affect your wardrobe come September, or sooner. Designers have squared off, whited out, and swept their competition. Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs were on some similar wavelengths for the new silhouette of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. Ann Demeulemeester and Gareth Pugh finally got coordinating dragon tattoos. Meanwhile, the leg bomber strikes again and we’re still highlighting the hot outline. Now, follow the bell hop to the trends of Fall 2012.
Straight out of Copenhagen Fashion Week, Danish designer Barbara I Gongini sent her dark, deconstructed Fall 2010 collection down the runway, tantalizing those with a taste for Damir Doma and old-school Comme des Garcons. The collection has an elegant homeless vibe to it, showcasing a plethora of baggy, draped pieces with rips, tears and random tied, knotted and braided pieces. The collection is most certainly for the daring downtown crowd, but I have a good feeling those ribbed, spiked and furred oxfords are going to hit the mainstream running!
Damir Doma will launch his first womenswear collection on March 3rd during Paris Fashion Week. Expect the full runway rundown come Wednesday!
October will be the release date for the next batch of fragrances from Six Scents, and you’re hearing this from one person who couldn’t be more excited to see what they have to offer. For those of you not familiar with the brand, they produce six different scents at a time, that are all collaborations with big name designers.
