Paris Fashion Week | Valentino, Chanel & McQueen

The best of the best. 

CHANEL

This runway was alive with color. I was expecting something completely different but Lagerfeld outdid us all with his artful presentation. 

The collection included ombre grays, boots with ribbed socks attached, thin leather pants, multicolored tweed and shrunken sweaters used a separates. 

It was modern art but Lagerfeld still stuck to Mademoiselle Coco's ideas with pearls and tweed. Some references like the interlocking double C's and pearls falling onto the floor, a giant Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle with robot arms and legs, and two oversized Chanel 2.55 bags all made an appearance. 

Lagerfeld, applause. 

VALENTINO

Like Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino brought culture to the runway. Designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli drew inspiration from the Rome Opera. 

Their spring collection was romantic in a dramatic way. The material was rich and full of detail. The clothes were regal with pops of bright color on a dark background. Long sleeves and ornate shapes dictated this runway. When a blue button up played up on the runway with wide legged pants it made the collection a little more modern. 

ALEXANDER McQUEEN

Designer Sarah Burton set the destination for Africa for this years Spring Collection. 

The collection was for a strong woman with graphic black and red prints, leather and patchwork. The strong accessories get you ready for battle itself. 

Loved it.
