Spring/Summer Fashion Shows - Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton
The Louis Vuitton Spring summer collection featured electric block colours of orange, golds, blues, pinks and purple in a style which Marc Jacobs called ‘Camp taste.’ There was a distinct feel of the orient with exotic flowers, sequined pandas and the animal print trend being updated from last season to include the electric colours and Chinese-style collars. The collection also included some bright variations on the flapper dress where the dresses tassels were picked out on the shoes and accessories. In many of the collections this season we can see a fusion of masculine and feminine styles and I love the structured shoulder dress with the fuchsia orchids. Whilst it could be seen as a bit eccentric for some, expect neon colours and floral patterns (but not too floral, just a touch) in your high street stores next season.

Paris Spring/Summer Catwalk collections

Over the next week I am going to do a review of the Spring/Summer collections of the most influential designers in the fashion world and give some indictions of up and coming trends. The first one is one Chanel but coming up are reviews of Louis Vuitton, Elie Saab and Stella Mcartney.

Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld’s ready-to-wear collection for Chanel was absolutely exquisite.  Smart and classic, the collection featured egg shell blues and pinks and feather embellishments which were particularly used at the bottom of dresses, around the collar and on the shoulders. (This trend has already been picked out my Miss Selfridge in some of their Christmas party dresses) The collection overall could not be described as colourful as there was an abundance of blacks, greys and white but it was definitely crisp and fresh. My favourite pieces were the umbrella shaped like a classic Chanel hat and the dark washed skinny jeans which, when looked at closely, had beautiful detailing.
