PFW SS16: Fashion Report

5th October 2015

Stella McCartney

Stella always does Stella, and this collection wasn’t an exception. It was sporty, environmentally friendly, and wearable. Very unique shapes and silhouettes walked down the runway, with complex appliqués and elements, such as the elliptical hemlines. Loyal customers won’t be disappointed.

Key take-home message: Mix and match as much as you want, just be yourself

Sonia Rykiel

Bohemian glamour is the term I’d use to define this collection. Sequins, party dresses and camouflage were all part of this collection, which felt very much feminine, elated and sexy: three great qualities in a woman.

Key take-home message: Opt for a 30s inspired party dress next summer.

Hermes

An expensive-looking collection with some new ideas (for the brand) introduced such as the luxe trainers. Despite this being a very well executed collection with impeccable tailoring, there is nothing that screams must-have; ie. there is no wow factor.

Key take-home message: Invest in an immaculately tailored coat.

Giambattista Valli

Really loved this collection! Very feminine, very pretty, very babydollish; without being too much of these things. Great patterns and prints introduced to this collection, which is somewhat evocative of a boho 70s look.

Key take-home message: Go for the babydoll youthful look this summer

Saint Laurent

Although there were some really great pieces in this collection such as the faded leather bomber, the floral embroidery and the oversized denim jackets, to me this collection is very akin of what we’ve seen in many other Saint Laurent collections, and there was something missing; perhaps a novelty concept.

Key take-home message: If you stick with what looks best, you can’t go wrong.
