Paris Fashion Week has barely gotten underway and already a large divide is forming between those watching the show, the fur sleeves issue.
Although many people may remember the days of Peta and supermodels who refused to wear animal skin, but it seems that with the amount of fur on the runway that in Paris such concerns are now yesterday’s news.
In fact, a large amount of designers seemed to have the same fashion inspiration in mind including Lanvin, Nina Ricci, and Gaspard Yurkievich all of whom along with others used fur sleeves on their jackets which outside of the fur were basic designs.
Outside of this signature look, the fashion season in Paris still feels pretty fresh with enough commercial appeal to sale the fashions. For example, one common fashion trend is heavy wool coats that tailor in at the waist placed overtop of decorative sheath tanks pieces.
Ina Ricci showed off some beautiful silk ensembles on dresses and tops in romantic rich colours such as deep red, aubergine, and purple.
Dries Van Noten also followed the trend with trousers and utilitarian coats which buckled over the stormy but soft colours and prints that his label is known for.
Eighties were another common theme on the catwalk with Studio 54 inspired silky jumpsuits from Gaspard Yurkievich and Lanvin’s large shoulders that towered gracefully over in line should dresses and coats. Also common throughout both lines were chunky tribal jewellery pieces and feathers seen everywhere including on earrings.
