2009 fashion week at different places especially on the fashion capitals was exciting. Though traditional belief says that fashion is youth-obsessed, the fashion weeks this year wronged the age old myth. Let us take a look at the grand fashion weeks of London, Paris and New York.
London Fashion Week The fashion elite were left mouth-opened at the London Fashion Week this year. Running from a week this fashion industry event offered a huge scope to the fashion designers and fashion houses to showcase their new collections. The buyers got a good idea about the latest trend in the runaway show.
London Fashion Week indicated what’s “in” and what’s “out” this season. The event once again proved why it has been so popular in London for twenty five years. The event gave a glimpse of the fashion wears the designers are going to produce for the coming months. It also allowed the retailers to take their time to incorporate the design wears into their retail marketing.
Peter Pilotto awed the audience with his fantastic collection. Paul Smith, Aquascutum and Vivienne Westwood add new dimension to the event. Christopher Kane’s Autumn/Winter collection was a must see. Ossie Clark took the crowd to a nostalgic world with the outstanding designer wears.
Paris Fashion Week Paris Fashion Week showcases the silhouette that is going to define the 21st century fashion trends. Paris has always gained the first position whenever a comparison took place among New York, Paris, London and Milan and the style adapted by the French designers perfectly justifies the position of City of Lights. The designers once again successfully merged pageantry and artistry. In spite of drawing inspiration from every field they remained precise in the move they make. The perfect cut and tailoring of the designer wears were real treat to eyes leaving the audience spell bound.
The feathered visors of Givenchy, the furry motorcycle helmets of Karl Lagerfeld, the wooden birdhouse and golden bananas on the model’s heads designed by Bernhard Wilhelm all contributed to the making of Paris Fashion Week a grand success. Comme des Garcons, Maison Martin Margiela and Gaspard Yurkievich took the event one step ahead. New York Fashion Week New York Fashion Week showcased a set of garments that left the audience spell bound.
The use of unusual material made the audience even more curious about the outfits. The designers have given their best to create numerous versatile dresses but the focus was on the 80’s style. Oversize cocoon is back this season. Many designers stuck to black and whit. But then others offered visual treat with their hot pink or citron colored fashion wears. The nontraditional trend revealed in the New York Fashion Week is going to be a big hit for the year. To get a glimpse of the new style check out the Narciso Rodriguez, Oscar de la Renta and Michael Kors show.
The shows of Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs presented a new idea altogether. The contrast between the somber tones with shine and metallic finish make the shows even more exciting. The fashion weeks of the three fashion capitals of the world set the latest fashion for the coming time.
