LEMAIRE 

INDIGITAL

Lemaire’s collection was chic but not complicated, easy to wear clothing for every woman. The collection was full of layered looks that brought volume to the body, folding and knotting techniques added art references. The palette was built from dusty neutrals and pastels, yellow and pale purple including khaki, to deeper shades of red and gold with a few prints scattered in. shirt-dresses were worn over matching pants. Shirts with straps dangling from their arms were tucked in trousers and a trench coat with an asymmetrical dress underneath looked ever so chic.

ROCHAS

INDIGITAL
Alessandro Dell’Accqua for Rochas’s collection was far from being simple, he brought couture-quality fabrics ranging from silk to velvet with ostrich feathers. He let the fabric do the talking rather than taking on the designers retro silhouettes.  Dell’Accqua went for loose, boxy cuts on buttonless coats in peach or double-breasted pants in powder pink. Electric yellow combined with deep black, leopard prints, attention to the buckle shape ends of sandals and pumps.

MUGLER 

INDIGITAL

Mugler’s designer Casey Cadwallader debuted his first collection for the brand with a small guest-list and a show consisting of 27 looks. Sculptural tailoring was seen in the black jacket with spiral seems that opened the show, bodysuits and cycling short with lace details and sheer jersey were some of the silhouettes. The closing pieces were captivating, one look featuring a marbled red top and cycling shorts and a tailored PVC coat. Print silk nylon skirts gathered over one hip worn with a body suit and mesh corset belt was more realistic as well as spiral-seam jeans, body-con dresses and big-shouldered jackets.

CHLOE

• INDIGITAL

Boho is the new black! Chloe’s collection was heavily inspired by bohemian chic. Natacha Ramsay-Levi divided the show into sections beginning with “Caravan” inspired by the chic wanderers dressed in neutral tones and scarf prints. Part two “Ibiza” for women who have settled for an artistic life on the Spanish island, bringing a tactile allure to her clothes with blue-and-beige jumpsuits and raw-edged fridge swishing around the ankles. Puffered-sleeved cropped tops over scarf prints as she referred the modernist bohemia through textures on ribbed knits, soft pleats and lace. The closing of the show played an oft to the classic style of Greece through pleated dresses with warrior harnesses set with big stones.
