Top 5 Collections at Paris Fashion Week
Celine Autumn Winter 2011 2012
Phoebe Philo's collection for Celine incorporated minimalism, craft, sportswear and inspirations from automotive interiors with streamline cuts. The overal simplicity of this collection caught our eye. Trousers played an important roll in this Autumn Winter collection which was refreshing. Two toned troousers were a favourite which used both tweed and leather fabrics. Celine Autumn Winter 2011 2012 collection could show the return of the polo neck. The chevron stripe jumper gave a true statement to what the collection was about, laidback sophistication. The use of panels within the construction of pieces complimented the block colour trends that came from London Fashion Week this season. Panelling in shirts to the panelled cream leather dress showed this collection complimented the figure.
Facts:
• Colours: Olive, brown, cream and pink
• Must have items: Slim fitted trousers and panelled dress
• Footwear: Pointed loafers and low ankle boots
Jean Paul Gaultier Autumn Winter 2011 2012
Jean Paul Gaultier Autumn Winter 2011 2012 collection was all about making a statement. Not necessarily of outlandish fashion but more of a statement of society. Jean Paul Gaultier collection at Paris Fashion Week included a witty take on age, Jean Paul Gaultier stated, "how to look young - without Botox". Models were styled with grey wigs that had been backcombed and given exaggerated French pleat styles. Before his show in Paris on Saturday Jean Paul Gaultier evaluated his collection, "no corsets, no flesh! It's quite ladylike. I can't believe it". Here at Kindred Sole we love the grown up elegance of Jean Paul Gaultier's collection but love even more how a theatrical style was involved including models stripping off layers of clothing, leaving a pile at the end of the runway. The collection embraced Parisian chic with the use of prints, trouser suits and belted trench coats. The tailoring at Jean Paul Gaultier was so chic and with pieces including pussy cat bow blouses and tweed skirts and jackets, the collection was wearable.
Facts:
• Colours: Camel, brown, black and cream
• Must have items: Belted trench coat and trouser suit
• Footwear: Smart black and brown high heel shoes
