Isabel Marant, Martin Grant, Vanessa Bruno and Dior have shown beautiful collections in Paris this weekend which have pre-empted Celine and Ms Philo herself with a sublime minimalistic offering
White and Black and Grey continues to be a trend, with splashes of Navy, and as shown at Vanessa Bruno amongst others.
Vanessa Bruno really delivered. The photos below are some of my favourite looks, but it was hard to narrow it down, she did a great sexy school girl slash grown up office woman without it being theme-ey. Love the suiting, so sophisticated.
Dior, showing it’s second season by Raf Simons, also showed permutations of this straight laced woman with an edge – mid-length hour glass shaped dresses and suiting, waistcoats. The Dior woman is a more serene version of the Dolce woman we met a few days ago. Is Carine R the inspiration for everyone at the moment?!?!?
Martin Grant showed the ultimate in simple elegance. These dresses made me want to be that woman and of course I want to go somewhere that calls for a dress as elegant as these.
And finally, what is fast becoming the juggernaut that is Isabel Marant. Get me a thigh master because these white tights are not going to be forgiving. Aside from that, Ms Marant seems to just want to be comfortable next Fall while still looking chic and glamourous. I want all the layers of knits and I want to drape myself in the coats and scarves and slouch into a smokey cafe with my french boyfriend and discuss art.
