Paris Fashion Week - Winter 2017

Fashion world

My dear readers,

For several months now, Elena and I share beautiful moments together. When I was alone, I was happy to travel around the world and admire these landscapes. However, I must admit that I would have appreciated them in the stranger way if I had had the pleasure of being with the person I love.

The chance is so powerfull that today, I met Elena. She shares the same passions as me and especially the one of Fashion Week which is fast approaching. We are looking forward to being able to be present together at the Fashion Week because it highlights an interesting problematic: What will be the new trends of men’s fashion this next autumn?

After London and Milan, it will be to the turn of Paris to do his show and especially thanks to his specialty: the Haute Couture. At the beginning of 2017 will be put the spotlight on the masculine fashion, a real novelty and it will not be the only one since the diversity will also appear on the catwalk.

It is an innovative formula: the mixed parades. Already observed in London and Milan, it will also create a following in Paris. The Kenzo company opted for this original way of presenting their women's collection at the same time as men and it will not be the only ones! The LVMH group is joining them in this approach because it allows the creator to concentrate on one and only one message but also to gain coherence and readability.

The new trends

We will have the opportunity during this Fashion Week to admire the first collection of Haider Ackermann for the luxury boot brand, Berluti. At 45 years old, the French creator of Colombian origin is eagerly awaited on the front of the fashion scene. He is reputed for his silhouettes draped with bohemian elegance and its refined colors, it promises to be particularly scrutinized.

Paris Fashion Week is a special event as it unveils young designers, welcoming this season two newcomers. Icosae, a French brand founded by the brothers Valentin and Florentin Glemarec, followed by Sankuanz, under the label of the Chinese designer Shangguan Zhe, brands launched in 2008.

Dear readers, I wish you a delightful evening and I apologize if I have somewhat lost you in my words but fashion represents such a passion for me, for us! If you are confused by the Weeks of the ready-to-wear with those of haute couture? If you are wondering what are the great measure, the « ready to buy », how trends born? And that you are curious to discover it, I recommend you a book titled « The Universes of Fashion » published by Falbalas editions. The aim of this book is to clarify the vocabulary of this sector, but also to provide an understanding of an area that remains complex for newcomers but also for professionals.

Yours,
