Atelier Versace Revives The Fifties With Hot Couture!

And, it’s on! The Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2014-15 collection shows are in full swing, last night kicking off with Atelier Versace.

Donatella Versace’s fourth collection for the Italian fashion house’s Haute Couture line gave a nod to the era of Rock ‘N’ Roll, the Fifties. Silhouettes comprised deconstructed shapes, corseted bodices, rounded shoulders and cutting and slicing away fabric with the ‘Donatella precision’ that helps create her infamous ultra-sex appeal effect.

And who better to grace the front row than celebrity diva, Jennifer Lopez, who famously wore that green Versace gown at the Grammy awards more than a decade ago! Last night, JLO arrived looking every bit the Versace goddess dressed in a chic white floor-length gown, hip-high split and half trouser look.

FashionTV was on the front row and backstage to bring you all of the Haute Couture looks, first!

Celebrating Inti Raymi With Manish Arora!

You may all know the longest day of the year, June 21, but do you know about Inti Raymi the 9-day Winter Solstice in Peru? To celebrate, FashionTV takes a look inside Manish Arora’s Fall 2014-15 collection that was popping with Peruvian influences!

It was maximum effort for maximum impact, when Indian designer Manish Arora presented one of his most memorable shows at Paris Fashion Week.

“It was a fantasy collection; it was a tribe I created, which was a candy tribe,” explains the designer. “It was about this character, a girl who existed in my mind, who is probably 18-years-old and she’s from a cold country, she has Peruvian blood in her and she probably has a little baby.”

Mixing ethnic traveler and gypsy vibes with luxurious fabrics to include fur, velvet, and satin, Arora succeeded to leave an indelible mark on fashion editors and bloggers around the world.
