"Haute couture fashion week is: A combination of 21st-century and historical antecedents"


                 Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week brings together designers from all of the world to present their Fall/ Winter 2014-2015nd the best designers of this week.This Paris Haute Couture  Fashion Week has surprised me very positiv Haute Couture collections. This event is coming   to an end so I'm presenting you my favourite creations aely. I'm not a big fan of haute couture fashion but shows were inspiring and original. 

CHANEL 

                 First show which catch my eye was Chanel. Simple but glamour. It's still Chanel but with a fresh ideas and styling. You can see that Karl Lagerfeld showed his own vision of modernity. This Chanel show glowed with imagination: here a dress with burning red threads woven through; there a silvered gown, as if grey ash were being fanned back to life. Those ash colours were in every shade from concrete to metallic, with evening outfits dense with decoration."
                Karl  "focused on extreme craftsmanship, without showing outré or extravagant outfits. Even the light, thigh-length shorts, peeping out from short skirt hems, seemed appropriate."




JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

              This time Jean Paul Gaultier showed his collection in palette of colors ranging from blood red to virginal white, via metallic silver and satanic black. He created a gothic atmosphere at his haute couture show. But for me from time to time I feel like he is getting inspiration from Japanese folklore especially when I see model in Red Hood  simillar look like  from Bokake but Gautier himself says that he took inspiration from  Marilyn Manson. Make-up artist Stéphane Marais combined pale skin with red lips and smoky, reddened eyes.  With gothic figures and a guest appearance from Conchita Wurst, fashion's enfant terrible Jean Paul Gaultier continues to shock the fashion world and push the boundaries of couture. Photographer Morgan O'Donovan slipped backstage at the designer's latest haute couture show, revealing exclusive images of the vampire-inspired Fall/Winter 2014-2015 collection.



                                  MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA 

                  For the Artisanal line, Martin Maison Margiela presented a collection with Japanese accents like bomber jacket  with maxi dressmix & match materials and fabrics inspired by the Surrealists' Exquisite Corpses,  Some pieces had an oriental exoticism. Margiela use many different materials, this guy would use every scrap of material for his designs. This show I admire the most and I feel this bomber jacket will be hot this season.




CHRISTIAN DIOR 

                       Christian Dior found modern relevance for haute couture , his design of the Dior set was a metaphor in itself - a silver mirrored rotunda , lined with white flower- orchids also models were beautiful things like delicate yellow, creme and blue dresses with flower embroidery. Collection is very simply and bright. Raf Simon's found a new energy and, indeed, new life in the panniered gowns of 18th- century dress, wonderful !




VERSACE

               Donatella Versace talked up 1950s couture inspirations before her show , she chopped, and  chained , and chained , and supercharged the era into souped- up , racy dresses precisely to house specification , It was like retro, but viewed through Versace eyes . The same approach like do Dior in his collection dominated by long maxi dress. 



ELIE SAAB 


                    Shine bright like a diamond like song by Rihanna - Elie Saab showed evening dresses illuminated with crystal and perls. Pallete of blue colour and red and beautifully  crafted perls and crystals. It kind of reminds me of The Cinderella.





GIAMBATTISTA VALLI

           I have chosen some of the looks from the beautiful Giambattista Valli Haute Couture show. His works looks like a modern vision of St. Tropez. On the catwalk except maxi dresses were fluffy fur coats, shawls, voluminous weightless skirts and figure-hugging long dresses made of flowers that look almost like the real ones. 


                                           VALENTINO

                The Valentino show that closed the winter 2014 couture season was romantic, graceful and very much in the spirit of the house’s recent revival. There certainly is a following for the graceful and gentle gestures of the current design duo. And perhaps they would argue that practicality Valentino  presents the essence and the dichotomy of  haute couture.
