Paris Fashion Week - Highlights Part 2

Okay so we are back in the thralls of Paris Fashion Week and a lot has been happening.  Some of the biggest names in fashion have shown their SS16 collections and although with this post had I had planned to show you a few of the lesser known designers, I think it necessary to bring you highlights from a few more well known designers, to be honest with you, I'm super excited to dig into the collections I'm showing below.  Enjoy!

Alexander McQueen
A designer that is synonymous with British fashion, Alexander McQueen chose to show their SS16 collection in Paris.  Under the direction of Sarah Burton, the collection was all ruffles with a modern spin and a Victorian feeling.  Most dresses were long in sheer fabrics with some floral patterns used.  Hair was pulled back and loose revealing interesting necklines, some v-neck, some covering the whole of the neck.

Roland Mouret
My third at university I decided to study abroad at the London College of Fashion.  While I was there I discovered the brilliant designer Roland Mouret and I fell in love with his beautifully structured dresses.  As another British designer who showed in Paris, his collections was fun and colorful and continues to offer great dresses.

Chanel
I actually thought about having an entire post dedicated just to Chanel.  Only in recent years have I had my eye on what Chanel is doing.  They seem in the last few seasons to have upped their production on their shows.  They don't usually show too many dresses within their collection, but it was just too insanely clever of a show not to include.  The setting for the show was an airport complete with airline ticket as the invitation, male stewards, and ladies behind the counter ready to check models in.  There is so much detail in the show, I love it!
