Paris Fashion Week: Lanvin AW13

Bonjour Ladies! How is everyone? Paris Fashion Week might just be my favourite fashion week, I know I should say London but I am a sucker for Paris sorry! :) Any way I thought I'd start off with Lanvin who's show was on Thursday along with many great others - that I will also be lusting over! I usually really look forward seeing the Lanvin collection as I find the pieces wearable and adaptable for my everyday and this show is no different I have to say! 

I just had to put another picture of this dress in again as its my fave of the entire show! Love at first sight... Swoon

Check out the bling and leather shirt

This show for me was typically Lanvin, however I absolutely love it - the detailing on the black fit and flare dress, it's too lush! The sheer panelling on the dress makes this slightly more wearable yet edgy at the same time.

 I just love the structure of the clothes too, absolutely perfect! I am a massive fan of fit and flare so I was happy to see plenty of it on the catwalk (not to mention on the runway of the other fashion weeks - Yey!)

The looks were very feminine and classy, any sheer materials were used in more conservative places like above the chest ect. Floral and print were used throughout this collection which is something I propose will be big come A/W13 as seen on other shows too such as the heart print in the Burberry Prorsum show. Have you noticed the statement necklaces giving out secret messages of 'Love' and 'elp' Lol... I really like this fun twist on the outfit and really feel like it brings it all together!

We have seen a lot of 'power women' feminine suits on the Autumn Winter 2013 shows so it looks like my wardrobe is going to have to do some growing up between now and then :)

The Make Up

The make up on this show was either berry lips with a sheen - think more healthy and moisturised not glossy! Or they were nude and matte with BIG smoky eyes and winged liner! My fave look to be honest! The make up with the berry coloured lips tended to be more subtle and barely there elsewhere on the face too. I am expecting the Nude lip to rein supreme this Winter so chapped lips better beware! :). The complexion was more of a matte to natural matte finish with contouring used to define the already chiseled cheekbones of the models, but again the blush is more subtle or not there at all - when used it was peachy nudes just to add an awake look - No stripy bright blusher here girls :)

So what did you think of the show? Have you been following Paris Fashion Week? On a separate now has anyone got anything nice planned for the weekend? I'm just working but I'd love to hear from you all!

Milan Fashion Week: Max Mara AW13

                                                                                                                                                              


Lots of earthy colours were used, like browns, nudes and minks and even mustard. The shapes of the designs were very modest and relaxed - trainers anyone? :) 

The bigger the better was key for this collection and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a big array of oversized coats come AW13 on the high street.. Watch this space!

The make up

Again were are seeing more of a satin finish as opposed to the previous dewy complexions past shows have showcased. The cheeks were left bare with only sharp contouring in place of a strong blusher. The eyes were metallic and shimmering with the colour being drawn all around the eyes, the brows were left natural -  This is such a wearable look ad it's so relaxed and very easily recreated at home. The lips were different shades of nude, with a semi matte to matte finish.

What did you think of the shows? Think you'll be going into AW13 with an oversized coat too :)

Milan Fashion Week: Gucci AW13

So Milan Fashion Week kicked off yesterday with Gucci showing off their collection for fall 2013. The collection had a lot of attention to detail and use of different fabrics too. Silk and feathers anyone? Again we saw more of the sheer panelling that I've fallen for :) The collection to me screams power woman, and I love the whole woman wearing the trousers trend! 

Leather was showcased in the collection particularly with other fabrics too to give it a softer edge - although the shiny leather was most popular in this show

The hem lines are longer and more ladylike but the neck lines are low and seductive making sure that the looks are not boring or stuffy.. The handbags shown all oozed luxury and just added to the look!

The make up was vampy eyes with lots of definition! A more matte skin, any highlighted areas were powdered over, lips were nude and barely there actually the same for the eyebrows there were no where to be seen! Not a trend you will see me spotting any time soon I will assure you! The hair was slicked and smoothed away from the face to allow the clothes to do the talking :)

I actually really like this collection more than I expected to actually so I was really pleased - I just love the black jumpsuit with sheer panelling at the front it is just beautiful!

What did you think? Anyone else watching out for the shows?
