Haute Couture Fall 2015

Haute Couture Fall 2015 fashion week took place in Paris earlier this week and was closed by a spectacular Valentino show in Rome on Thursday evening - of which you can watch the video below. Probably my favourite show of the bunch, although it's almost not possible to pick a favourite as I was impressed by most of them, really. Once again I collected some of the looks that stood out for me here. Timeless elegance from Chanel, fantastic prints and layers from Giambattista Valli, contrasts from Dior.. In terms of originality I have to hand it to Viktor & Rolf, though, (as usual) for their "Wearable Art" collection which I thought was clever as well as incredibly beautiful.

PFW Fall 2015 Favourites

After what seems to have lasted just forever the Fall 2015 fashion weeks have finally come to an end and here are some of my favourite looks from the Paris runways. My favourite full collection has to be by Dries Van Noten. Even though you rarely see me wear prints and this collection is actually full of those, the colours mixed are just gorgeous and I'm very inspired by the oversized looks that still manage to show a waist. I might try this a little more often myself to breathe some new life into my endless loose fit ensembles. We see great styling and interesting details at Ann Demeulemeester, Balenciaga and Chanel and gorgeous and classic minimalism can, of course, be found at Céline, Stella McCartney and Hermès. Also, I wish for the entire Ellery collection to somehow make its way into my wardrobe, thanks.

Haute Couture Spring 2015

The Haute Couture Spring 2015 fashion week took place in Paris this week and here's a bit of a sum-up of my favourite looks presented there. With Haute Couture I always realise I don't love fashion for one particular style. I like to be surprised and be wowed. For me, some good romantic fashion can never hurt, though, (as seen here) and Valentino gave us just that. While Christian Dior showed a collection that felt like more of a mixture between feminine shapes and fabrics and more edgy stuff like vinyl thigh-high boots and plastic opera coats. Also, plenty of red carpet potential here. And, seeing as Awards Season is still on, I'm off to make me some new red carpet wishlists!

Haute Couture Fall 2014

Just some favourites I picked out from the latest Haute Couture collections. Collections that always tend to make me wish I was either Cate Blanchett or just impossibly chic. For Fall 2014 I spotted some red carpet gowns I'll be keeping in mind for my Awards Season Red Carpet wishlists, but besides the glamour some more wearable designs caught my eye as well, most notably from Christian Dior. The maxi coats worn over long loose fit trousers are right up my street - and effortlessly elegant.
