Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Stella McCartney Fall 2014–Easy tailoring is in the very DNA of the Stella McCartney woman, and for the designer’s fall-winter 2014 collection, she presented an outing of trousers and outerwear with a sporty attitude. Shapes are slouchy even when it comes to suiting which has the unexpected addition of stirrup pants in a slim but not quite legging cut. Along with autumn’s oversized and rounded-shoulder coats, the Stella McCartney woman also wears embroidered separates featuring squiggly curves of rope for a whimsical touch to her wardrobe. Fringe decorated dresses which drape around the body in red, blue and green end the collection on a feminine note. The chunky mannish shoe, however, brings the look right back to practicality.

Givenchy Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Givenchy Fall 2014–Glam was in for Givenchy’s fall-winter 2014 runway show presented Sunday at Paris Fashion Week. The collection saw creative director Riccardo Tisci moving away from the street wear inspired aesthetic that has been so entrenched in the label for the past few seasons. Instead, the Givenchy woman is given a more ladylike makeover for autumn, but it is not stuffy by any means. Silk blouses with soft pleats, knee-length dresses of the same material and puffy fur coats dominate the fall preview. Pattern takes shape in the form of animal prints and butterfly-inspired motifs which add another dimension to the designs. The finale looks worn by Kendall Jenner and Mariacarla Boscono were powerful yet simple featuring fitted bodices paired with sheer, black pleated skirts.

Chloe Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Chloe Fall 2014–The soft, relaxed attitude of the Chloe woman was given a touch of the untamed for the label’s fall-winter 2014 collection presented during Paris Fashion Week this Sunday. Creative director Clare Waight Keller sent out the house’s signatures–a parade of easy, tomboyish separates for the autumn season in a mix of neutrals and pastels. However, the look is emboldened with luxe multi-colored furs and ruffle embellishments for a sense of surprise in the Chloe woman’s wardrobe. Elsewhere, dresses and skirts are decorated with raised geometric gold emblems while funnel neckline jackets bring a sporty mood. Finishing the look, Waight Keller adds a large carryall and suede knee-high suede boots to the polished ensemble.

Kenzo Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Kenzo Fall 2014–Designers Carol Lim and Humberto Leon teamed up with director David Lynch for Kenzo’s fall-winter 2014 runway presentation. The American creative made the soundtrack and set designs for the show that debuted pieces inspired by his work for the 90s television drama “Twin Peaks” which is know for its mysterious and supernatural elements. For fall, the Kenzo designers played with proportion–juxtaposing full and pleated skirts with knit sweaters or tops with origami-like folds and slimline pants. The color palette embraces black, grey, citron green and burnt orange. The Kenzo woman also sports her own version of a suit for autumn–a quilt patterned three piece in black adds an androgynous touch to the season.

Céline Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Céline Fall 2014–After last season’s painterly prints, Céline’s Phoebe Philo offered a more pared down vision for the brand’s fall-winter 2014 collection. A simplified outing does not necessarily mean minimal. The Céline woman takes on print in the form of leopard spots, color with spots of sky blue and bright yellow tones as well as embellishment in the shape of crystal adorned dresses and coats featuring feather-light wispy adornments. The silhouette is more streamlined than spring however. Coats fit close to the body with cocoon-like shapes while knits are long and lean worn over wool skirts. The shoe of choice this season is a leather wedged sandal with an ankle strap while Philo creates a bag with dull hardware and a stitching-like embroidery.
