Spring-focused collections from famous fashion designers, including Phoebe Philo and Carol Lim, wove magic with designs, including fake fur and floral prints, on the fifth day of Paris Fashion Week 2015. Fashion houses, Celine and Kenzo, seemed to have a distinctly minimalist approach.
Tennis Club of Paris, located in the 16th arrondissement, saw Philo unveil a purely minimalist Celine collection that aimed to inspire the urban chick with its craftsmanship.
The dogma that only colourful attires draw the attention of the front row went awry as Philo presented the stylish black and white long dresses with precise needlework.
Cutaway shoulders of the tight-buttoned coats with and flying ribbons of the colorful satin lingerie dresses left the junta filled with the air of perfection. However, old-fashioned footwear in hand-woven styles and jewelled decoration were part of Philo's philosophy as well.
The Irish Times mentioned that the designer removed the superfluous and dispensable neatly from the cuffs and hems as he presented the Cossack style with surprisingly creative fur collection.
"I'm just trying to work out glamour that I find intriguing - it was like hyper-heightened glamour, and how that can work for the very practical," Philo said.
Meanwhile, in the 19th arrondissement, it was a day of Kenzo in the Paris Event Centre. With the noted designers Humberto Leon and Carol Lim in robotic ideology, the big shawls wrapped up on long dresses with head-covering hood paved the way to form a notion that clothes are meant just for covering the body.
"Nocturnal" floral prints, deep blue furry coats, backpacks, bucket bags, rural shade of green and patchwork of Chelsea boots succinctly reaffirmed the designer duo's belief in poetic inspirations, though.
"Their abode is in the wild - we explore togetherness through camaraderie, ceremony and protection," the duo said in their programme notes, according to the Vogue Australia.
