Paris Fashion Week

Many of you may know that this week was Paris Fashion Week. With that, we got to experience some extraterrestrial show, as well as some down to earth, simple, yet classy shows, from Chanel holding their super-market inspired runway show at the famous Grand Palais in the heart of France, to Givenchy's ultra-thin runway down an old warehouse.  Every designer took their runway and lines to the max to impress the world.

Who Showcased?
Some of the designers that showcased at Paris Fashion Week were Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Giambattista Valli, Stella McCartney, Moschino, Givenchy, Chloe, Celine, Kenzo, Jean Paul Gaultier, Acne, Calvin Klein, Haider Ackermann, Vera Wang, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, Nina Ricci, Balmain, and Balenciaga.

What styles are trending?
The top ten trends of Paris Fashion week were pretty pastels, boxy & cropped (Non-Moto) jackets, contrast-collar button-downs, wide-legged trousers, bomber jackets, tea-length skirts, sweater dressing (ex. Sweater & Mid Length Skirt), tuxedo-meets-athletic-side-striped trousers, the shift blouse, collarless coats (ex. long, streamlined coat, minus the collar or lapel). However, every designer had a unique way of showing these trends, some a lot more creative and daring than others.

What Make Up styles are trending?
Some of the top make up trends in Paris were Candy Lip Shades, Orange lips, Natural Lips, Inky Liners, a pastel wash of colors as well as drawn & penciled shapes around the eyes. Every designer chose to display these trends in different ways such as Marc Jacobs using Pastel Washes & Penciled shapes and Calvin Klein going for the natural look.

What were the Hairstyles?
Every runway had a different hairstyle; it all depended on the feel of the line that was being presented. Some styles included Single Layered Short Hair (Marc Jacobs), Undone Updos, Untouched and Untrimmed, Chunky French Braids, Parted Pony Tails, Front Waves & Sleek Low Pony Tails.

What's new in nails this season?
Natural Nails and Nude OPI Polish were a major hit on the runway! Some stylists chose to take a more daring route by placing a colored edged around a nude nail. Some designers also used the acrylic claw with an array of various colors.
Who was there?
As always, Paris Fashion Week brings out all of the A Listers, and then some! Throughout the week, celebrities such as Ellie Fanning, The Olson Twins, Bryanboy, Eva Chen, Susie Bubble, Soo Joo Park, Ursina Gysi, Anya Ziourova, Giovanna Battaglia, Humberto Leon, Katie Grand, Katie Shillingford, Anya Ziourova, Rihanna, Cara Delevingne, Katie Grand, The Kardashian Clan, and Many More!


Altogether, Paris Fashion week gave Fashionistas worldwide what they need until the next major show rolls around. I know that I definitely enjoyed every second of it, and particularly loved the Chanel line!
