5 Must-Know Trends from Paris Fashion Week

When the month of Fashion clothing came to an end in Paris, all were left not teary eyed, but

with a bag full of fashion trends that they can follow and inspire people with. The season was

splendid and had everyone in awe and appreciation, right from New York to Milan. The Top

Five trends that rule this season of the Paris Fashion Week are:

Metallic Luxe

The Spring Summer season is that time of the year when everyone comes out of their closet

and starts a new trend. Although many designers present their collection at one of the most

renowned Fashion Weeks, there is a similarity that prevails in their core theme. May be, it is

the effect of the season. This time too, there was something that connected most of them and

it was the metallic theme. Shine was the ‘in’ thing this year and it was presented in all new

Avatar. Shine became luxurious as it came accompanied with rich brocades, gold

embroidery, lavish lames, etc. While Alber Elbaz had metallic materials used in sportswear

inspired outing, Gareth Pugh had silver metallic inspired from science fiction.

Pleats, Please

There can nothing be as feminine and cool as pleated skirts. They have remained in fashion

since their introduction in the earlier times. Paris Fashion Week too got its share of pleats this

year offering a broad range of both masculine as well as feminine looks. This was visible in

the androgynous outing by Haider Ackermann who used pleats for the collection of this

season. Pleats embellishments by Alber Elbaz or the schoolgirl uniform by Viktor & Rolf

topped the season with luxury and richness. Based on her inspiration from the vintage

pictures of graffiti, Phoebe Philo paired colourful patterns with pleated skirts.

Boyfriend Shirt

Shirts never go out of fashion. This year’s spotlight at the Parish Fashion Week was taken by

the classic shirts, be it the feminine ones or those with soft materials or elongated silhouettes,

everything spoke of them. Christophe too introduced easy silhouettes that had white shirts

combined with slouchy pants or leather jackets. They made a statement in every respect.

Alexander Wang contrasted the structure with those of relaxed designs, like the white shirt

dress.

Painterly Prints

Art work is a source of inspiration forever. The Spring Summer collection by Chanel or the

colourful gardens inspired prints by Elie Saab had something inspired from prints. The

collection by Humberto Leon and Carol Lim spread the awareness on the drawbacks of

overfishing.

Embellished Stripes

Stripes seem to be a very simple print. However, designers at Paris Fashion Week made

them look the next trend to look for with their embellished collection, be it Olivier Rousteing,

who brought the nineties flair or tribal inspired outing by Givenchy. Sarah Burton too

showcased warrior like designs by featuring multi coloured beading, silver helmets and

leather accents.
