Top 5 Paris Fashion Week Shows

As we welcome the penultimate day of Paris Fashion Week and indeed the Spring/Summer 2015 collections, FashionTV takes a look at some of the most talked about shows of the week par excellence!

Vivienne Westwood Gold Label

Contemporary costume drama would sum up Vivienne Westwood’s Spring/Summer 2015 showcase as fairytale characters stormed the catwalk, with a political agenda. Little Bo Peep, Snow White and Adam and Eve (played by Vivienne and husband) were among the many characters to grace the Parisian stage.

Manish Arora

Somewhere in the mountains of cotton candy, Indian designer Manish Arora presented his Spring/Summer 2015 show abundant in iridescent pastel prints, see-through panels as well as visors and fanny packs. Hot pink bindis, elaborate beading, giant eyes and Hindu deities’ faces also appeared in the new season’s look book.

Jean Paul Gaultier

The enfant terrible of the fashion pack, Jean Paul Gaultier put on the show of a lifetime, with an half hour fashion spectacle that kicked-off as a beauty pageant. Looks were inspired by everything from WAGS to the Tour De France. It was after all his last ever ready-to-wear collection… non?!

Saint Laurent Paris

Un, deux, trois… ooh lala! Hedi Slimane certainly knows how to draw a crowd at Saint Laurent, where Lenny Kravitz, Pete Doherty and Daft Punk were among the music a-listers sitting front row. This season, Slimane presented another edgy lookbook for the new season.

Dior

Making fashion history yet again, Raf Simons for Dior opened in a classic monochrome palette of modern, re-visited silhouettes. “I started to think, ‘what is modern?’” said Simons of his collection. His answer: looking to the past and presenting it to the future.
