expectation for the brand.
To bring fashion week to a close, we end with none other than Paris. Paris fashion week always set the tone of what it is predicted to come within the new year of fashion. From shows such as Elie Saab to Alexandre Vauthier, this SS15 season was incredible for Paris. One of the shows which really caught my attention was the Rodarte show. Having not previously paid a tremendous amount of attention to Rodarte’s previous shows, I was presently surprised by this season for the brand. From their use of intricate materials to their colour palette, this SS15 collection clearly demonstrated a sense of beauty and 70’s realness. One other show I admired was the Balenciaga show. Having been a huge fan of Alexander Wang on his own brand adventure, I’ve also followed his career choice in regards to Balenciaga. this show to me was extremely futuristic yet still had a modern, wearable essence. These shows were true highlights for me.
Overall, I feel 2015 was an amazing year for the fashion world. Not only did we have the chance to experience trends to come but we also were shown several interpretations of current modern styles. For the new year, I'm excited to witness the inspirations for the collections, to see the entire productions of shows and how each brand strives to exceed SS15 current collections.
