Dior opened up Paris fashion week with a collection based
around dance and flaunted women-power which has become a signature Dior theme
by Maria Grazia Chiuri. Gowns were draped, pleated and featured graceful skirts.

gowns in muted florals.The Saddle bag returns for another season and to popular
demand Dior has released it in more sizes and leathers. Maria Grazia Chiuri
brought the iconic bag back into circulation at the Autumn/Winter 2018
collection back in February after being the ‘it’ bag of the 90’s and early 00’s.
JACQUEMUS
INDIGITAL
Jacquemus’s spring collection was titled La Riviera and was
the perfect way to describe this collection. The collection moved away from being
super French beachside clothing for a sophisticated women which has been
playing for the past few seasons and went more towards pleasing a women who isn’t
afraid to show her tacky side. Accessories were extra-large as well as ridiculously
small, and stilettos were laced up the ankles. Scarves casually draped around
the hips and neck and sheer body-skimming, one shouldered gowns in orange and
mint green. Trenches with Porte Jacquemus’ signature shirts including cooler,
striped shirtdress’.

Both men’s and women’s collection was heavy in ruffles and
feathers, glittering fabrics and colours. For women, they were pleated blouses
and beaded dresses with ostrich feather trimmed gowns. For men, the ‘GG’ Gucci
logo was in-printed onto suits, trench-coats and jogging bottoms. Glamour was
the main theme on Michele’s mind. Accessories came in the shape of bowling bags
and hiking rucksacks and huge hats.
MARINE SERRE
JAMIE STOKER
Marine Serre is the model for young designers trying to break into the fashion world, Serre brought logo-ready iconography with references to sport, street and cultural awareness and was everything that was missing. Her spring collection entitled “ Hardcore Couture” turned silk to sporty with decorative motifs and hints of racing gear. Black jackets were embroidered with the collection name and gowns were made from scuba fabric and skirts were done in bed sheet material. Grungy was reworked as vintage as was a major success.
FIRSTVIEW
Ottolinger collection once again traced back to the brands native Switzerland showing traditional lace and craftwork. For spring their signature denim had some seam work and was cut into an acid green cropped vest and lace worn with pants. Denim biker shorts and jackets were battered and knits came in flame patterns. Techno pieces, lace, gingham, Hawaiian florals we layered into a do-it yourself look.
FIRSTVIEW
Joseph’s creative director of nine years, Louise Trotter announced that she was leaving her post and today Susana Clayton was announced as the new designer, 20 years of experience in the industry with her recent work being with Givenchy. But for the spring collection the discrete line up expressed through a muted colour palette, whites and camel and faded blue, with a touch of bright pink and mint. These colours were applied to trench--coats, suit coats in tweed and shirts embellished with extra panel and pockets. A feminine collection with accents of masculinity. Belts with leather-covered buckles and sleeves cuffs straps were luxury details. Contrasting the tailoring with blouses and flowing dresses made from silk and jersey t-shirt crepe dress with pockets.
