VERSACE
The strong point of the Versace show is without a doubt the dress. Be it long or mini, the dress created by Donatella Versace emits a blatant sex appeal. This mistress of glamour hasn't skimped on the '70s looks: cuts, graphic prints and exaggerated stripes. Between the black and white, the constants in the collection, one finds shades that criss-cross between yellow and green, like chartreuse, pistachio, without forgetting the lush pieces in deep purple. Donatella has used a palette that gives a very summery tone to Versace.
MIU MIU
Cuts being more sensible this season at Miu Miu, the audacity of the summer collection translates in jewel-tone colours: sapphire blue, ruby red, coral. This sparkling palette wonderfully marries the satiny materials used. As well, one again finds plenty of graphic prints and structured cuts. Miu Miu opts for the narrow, high-waisted pant and the little white flounced skirt. Very wearable!
BURBERRY PRORSUM
Christopher Bailey covered two outstanding eras in fashion, the '20s and '60s. The result? Charming little dresses that are very feminine with delicate lines. This season, the designer of the reknown British house bet on watered-down shades and played with the gamut of grey, going from pearl to silver to clay. To add a bit of excitement to it all, he worked with metallic and satiny materials.
LOUIS VUITTON
Marc Jacobs decided to please his Japanese clients for his spring-summer collection of Louis Vuitton in sprinkling his creations of de-structured cuts with girly details like frills, flounces and chiffon. The designer stayed faithful to his signature by adding very big cuts and structure. Loved the idea of the oversized clothes that were almost too big for the models to wear. Very youthful ... almost as if they were a little girls playing dress-up.
YVES SAINT LAURENT
With a catwalk entirely covered in luscious violet pansies, Yves Saint Laurent set the stage for one incredible show. Although the atmosphere smelled of all-things fresh and alive, the models, perched on sky-high stilettos, had a much more difficult time parading the runway. Beyond that, the collection, as recognized by many attending fashionistas, was a sincere homage to the style of YSL in the '80s. Stefano Pilati created cuts that are pure and chic while also mixing it up with prints and psychedelic.
LANVIN
Alber Elbaz, the designer of the hour, stands out with his avant-garde spirit. For the spring-summer collection, he chose dresses, skirts and coats that were short, short, short. The style recalls that of the '60s reinterpreted to fit into today's fashion climate. Most notable were the plastic-coated fabrics and photographic prints that gave a futuristic side to his collection. In the shades department, black dominated contrasted sometimes by pink or bright yellow elements.
