Dior - Resort 2018

Dior has done it again!  Ever since Maria Grazia Chiuri, formerly apart of the design duo at Valentino, came on board as creative director, each collection just gets better and better.  Dior brought a Western feel complete with hats, turquoise, and dessert location, with a bit of Safari thrown in.  I love how Maria goes all out, the looks are complete from head to toe and you can't help but want the whole thing.  The dresses at the end of each show are great, a bit predictably now after her first year, almost, with Dior.  She takes a print and turns it into beautiful sheer dresses, you also saw this when she designed for Valentino.  But it is still great and still exciting to see.  I still love the 3.5 years that Raf Simons was designing for Dior, but the two are just so different.  The collection gears a bit older I feel and definitely has a Ralph Lauren circa 1990s vibe.

Paris Fashion Week - Chanel

Every season sets and collection themes seem to be getting more and more detailed and this AW17 Chanel wasn't cutting back on anything.  The Space themed show was complete with a rocket that actually lifted off at the end of the show.  

The show was set in the Grand Palais, which was built in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition, and is basically now used as an event space, or for elaborate fashion shows. With the rocket in the centre models walked the stark white catwalk in silver, sparkly tweed.  The neckline shapes were similar to that of a space suit minus the helmut, and the hair was reminiscent of a helmut, very 1960s space age.  The silver glitter boots were amazing.

New York Fashion Week - ICB

For SS17 ICB was one of my favourites from NYFW, so I was super excited to attend their presentation for AW17.  The collection was titled "Global Summit" and was inspired by exploring new horizons, finding herself "amongst snowcapped summits and icy peaks".  The presenation started with each model coming out and standing on an elevated block, models were almost like mannequins, very still.  after about 20 minutes models started, one by one, to exit and return dressed in a different amazing outfit.  There was lots of plush angora, blue shearling, excellent tailoring, and thermal wool.  I loved the climbing details that were used, as you can see below.  The clothes looked so rich, warm, and were styled beautifully.  Again one of my favourites of NYFW.
