Stephanie Saliba’s Best of Paris fashion week Fall/Winter 2015

Elie Saab

With Elie Saab I feel that I am escaping in the couture fantasy. the Collection is inspired by the American Painter Mark Rotkho known by his abstract expressionist pieces.

Elie Saab’s collection is very sophisticated, but very soft at the same time, the autumn season focuses on sleek and sexy shapes intertwined with the house’s signature femininity.

Giambattista Valli

When watching the runaway I felt so related to each & every piece of his work, I really couldn’t get enough!

Giambattista Valli, took on old Hollywood inspired dresses, the kind you would imagine Audrey Hepburn wearing. Flowers and light colors take us back to the 60’s fashion.

There were monkey-fur coats, floor-length capes over keyhole gowns and floral dresses sprouting three-dimensional blooms — and it all came with literal guides to the period in the form of turbans and goggle-eyed sunglasses.

He was able to keep it simple despite the weirdness of the combination.

Zuhair Murad

Zuhair Murad collection based on futuristic themes / geometric mosaics and prismatic waves/ topography of the female form  in the dresses which makes the female body prettier and met en relief female form.

Chanel

Classic Chanel elegant coats with neatly seamed shoulders and neck-framing , and cocktail dresses with ornate mirrored frame; feathers and fringed tulle dripped like so much candle wax from hems; given a touch of the rococo with 24-karat embroidery.

As always with Mr. Lagerfield there were many combined ideas & skills as you can see in the white dress below.

Chritian Dior

Christian Dior ‘s line was a mix between 18th century style and modern couture,with side hoops and embroidered masculin collars., it resembles to the ones wore at the times of Louis XIV.

Christian Dior with the new designer Ralph Siemens replacing John Gialliano made Christian Dior travel through history.

N.B.: Hand Bags one of Christian Dior’s biggest industries were noticeable absent.

Versace

Donatella Versace injected bad girl attitude for atelier Versace with the black color present in all of the fall-winter show, but she is the queen of Excess & might be too much for some; this collection would be considered for eccentric women.

Marco Zanini

Marco Zanini collection was very daring and artistic, it was full of bold mixes such as a caramel silk shirt paired with pastel pink trousers tightened by a green belt; critics coded this collection more mature & harmonious than last year’s. The designer Marco Zanini paid tribute to Elsa Schiaparelli with this recent collection.

BE YOURSELF everyone else is already taken

While the title may sum it all, but it is actually a book by Mike Robbins.

9781423376026

It’s an empowering and refreshing book that reminds us that each of us has a unique purpose to fulfill in this world. Since we are living in a world where it became nearly impossible to distinguish between what is real and what is fake, this powerful book teaches you how to access and express the realness you crave in your work, your relationships, and yourself.

It is a clear guide to get in touch with yourself and to learn to love the person that you are. Robbins talks about 5 principles to celebrate one’s self and understand that we are spiritual beings first. This book frees you from society’s influences and pressures to simply be your true self. I strongly recommend it.

5 Tips On How To Spend Your Money While Shopping

  1. When shopping think of “Investment”, most of us, and me included, often go shopping when bored, but usually end up with clothes that never leave the closet. Don’t buy a pair of jeans that are tight thinking that they will “loosen up” later on and then never wear them again, or a top that your friends liked but you weren’t comfortable in. Any item that you buy and not wear is a lost investment.

 

  1. Accessories: it’s no place for saving, the most common mistake is when people go for cheap accessories thinking that they are not as important as the clothes, however, quality accessories spice up the outfit and add glam. Make sure that your accessories are good quality so they don’t make your look tacky.

  1. Good basics are important, but with a specific budget, Don’t spend much money on basics like tees, since they wear out quickly; a trench coat and a pair of boots on the other hand, is something that will last. Spending time and money to find the perfect coat or the perfect blazer is worth it.

 

 

  1. Pick your designer items carefully!If you want to buy printed long/short dresses, tops, or shorts, there is no need to go for brands because they all look the same. If you’re going to have one designer item, make it your handbag or your shoes, a good handbag makes your whole outfit look better.

 

 

  1. Don’t be afraid of going all in on the shoes, bad shoes can strongly influence your image, as for cheap looking shoes can make your party dress look trashy. So wait for the sale if you have to, but buy the right shoes because no matter how expensive your dress is, cheap shoes will make it lose spark.
