With so much uncertainty around, I’ve got bored with myself and decided to have some fun. So, I’ve gone thru the shows of the Paris Fashion Week (literally, all of the shows of the PFW and I need slice of cucumbers for my eyes now) and put together ten details that stayed with me. It wasn’t an easy task, I should say. On a good side, as a detail-oriented person, I normally tend to forget the big picture and focus on insignificant details. And I think it worked well this time. To me, PFW is the only fashion week when the designers unleash their fantasies. Always too many and too elaborate details to watch for. Below are just ten of the details that I super-filtered after marathon watching all of the shows.
10. Balmain
Shoulders! No need for more words.
Featured only partly here, but that biker suit combo is awesome too!
9. Giambattista Valli
I’ve laid my eyes on that hair detail…. and eyes too (also those disappeared eyebrows for that matter!) This is “Pretty” as it was called.
8. Andrew GN
You see that little fan-like accessory? Well, it is a fan. Do not be fooled by its innocent look. It can be more dangerous than a sword. Never joke with fan. Never EVER fool around with a woman that carries a fan!
7. Kenzo
Can you spot the detail? The major detail? Yes, right, that is what I mean. The must-have of 2020.
6. Anton Belinskiy
May there be light! ALWAYS!
5. Givenchy
Givenchy grew horns with Matthew Williams. Literally! Joke aside, I think, this one will hit it off despite mixed reviews by fashion journalists. As much as I loved Clare Waight Keller, I feel that this one will reach its consumer in target. Oh, almost forgot, Matthew Williams explains his collection as “it’s about finding humanity in luxury” – that made me think… about how luxury is perceived by non-consumers. And those horns didn’t look weird anymore.
4. Louis Viutton
Is it only me or someone else also gets old wooden Russian shoes vibe from these LV shoes? Seriously… Nicolas Ghesquiere, come on man, tell us…. (Wooden Russian shoes below for visual comparison).
These are the Russian wooden shoes I am talking about.
3. Vivienne Westwood
This list wouldn’t be complete without the audacious Vivienne, right? Ok, where shall we start? Maybe from those spooky earrings?
2. Beautiful People
This is almost everybody at some period this year. Just confess. Sum-up of 2020.
1. Schiaparelli
The winner of the PFW SS21 is doubtless Schiaparelli (to my humble opinon). All the modern day accessories in fantasy glam – let it be that kinda weird mask – the must have accessory of our days or the glasses that come with eyes. What a golden way to watch the world crumble down around us. And the eyes on that bag! I’d install camera behind them inside the bag!
