Paris Fashion Week: Saturday 1st October

I want to talk about two designers from Saturday, with my favourite being Haider Ackermann. What a mind blowing collection. Themes; metallics, androgyny, drapery.






There really were some beautiful colour schemes going on in this collection. I'd never have though aqua and emerald green would look so good together. With feminine draping, Ackermann still builds on a masculine personna but makes it glamourous rock and roll. I love the asymmetrical shapes that have been incorporated into this collection to give it a more deconstructed look. I don't know what else to say really. It was the perfect collection. There were pieces that everyone could appreciate and admire.

Jean Paul Gaultier on the other hand, seemed to be nodding to all his past collections in this one and combining them into one mega performance. There were the sheer tattooed body suits, pinstripes, glamour- there wasn't really an apparent theme here. Of course his talents still shined through though and somehow, it still looked cohesive.
