The final part of Paris Fashion Week featured shows from Sacai, Giambattista Valli, Chloe, Valentino, Paco Rabanne, Miu Miu, Elie Saab and the debut of the "rival" of Raf Simons, Hedi Slimane, and his first womenswear collection for the newly named Saint Laurent Paris, formerly Yves Saint Laurent.
My favourite shows from the last days of Paris Fashion Week include:
Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2013
Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen has stayed true to his vision ever since his unfortunate passing, and it is warming to the heart to know that she has done so these past few years. For this season, Sarah designed a series of luxurious garments filled with honeycomb inspired geometric prints and meshing details for the shoes, and fashionable approach to the beekeepers hat, rivaling the visor-wide brim hat hybrid as shown by Hussein Chalayan.
Chanel Spring/Summer 2013
 |
| THE Hula Heap Beach Bag, as designed by Karl Lagerfeld, which received mixed reviews by fashion media |
Mr. Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel goes eco-chic this season by showcasing a surprisingly minimal and post-modern approach to Chanel's classic tailoring by adding details such as wider shoulders and meshing with elements of Japanese fashion design. The set of the show was a sight to see, the floor resembling solar panels and gigantic windmills lined the runway in the Grand Palais, heightening the exuberance of the collection. On a final note, there was one stand out piece of the whole collection - the Hula Hoop Beach Bag... I wonder if the trend will take off?
Pedro Lourenco Spring/Summer 2013
 |
| The 80s and contemporary minimalism are fused to give an intriguing collection by Pedro Lourenco |
Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2013
 |
| Sheer panels and eye popping colours went all throughout Stella McCartney's collection |
Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2013
 |
| There is a lot of checkered garments slowly coming back into the fashion scene, and Marc Jacobs from Louis Vuitton has elevated that trend by contextualizing the pattern into high fashion, drawing inspiration from the 50s-60s, which will surely take off the mainstream market |
