Haider Ackermann Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Haider Ackermann Fall 2014–It is time for change–Haider Ackermann said with the clothes presented during his fall-winter 2014 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Gone is his signature airy chiffon draping and layering, but instead it is replaced by something more minimal. The silhouette is menswear inspired featuring roomy pants and jumpsuits with sleeves that extended past the normal length. Instead of chiffon, Ackermann chooses fabrics like cashmere, snakeskin for more fitted looks and flannel tops. Despite fall signifying a change in the Colombian designer’s aesthetic, you still see the label’s DNA with the balance of graceful shapes and masculine elements. Where it goes next, one must wait and see.

Sonia Rykiel Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Sonia Rykiel Fall 2014–Marking his third season at the helm of Sonia Rykiel, Geraldo da Conceicao’s fall-winter 2014 collection offered some experimentation on an already solid foundation. The Sonia Rykiel woman’s outlook for fall? Cozy and long wool coats, voluminous fur jackets and visible pockets–whether on trousers, coats or skirts. The proportions and lengths for autumn are a little mannish with outerwear featuring squared shoulders and relaxed-fit pants cropped at the ankle. Wallpaper inspired prints cover everything from color-blocked scarves to mid-length skirts and cropped jackets. Da Conceicao finishes the look with platform wedge sandals and partially sheer gloves; a ladylike touch to the autumn season.

Isabel Marant Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Isabel Marant Fall 2014–French designer Isabel Marant brought a new approach to her eponymous label’s fall-winter 2014 collection presented during Paris Fashion Week. The formerly bohemian girl was given a somewhat mannish makeover with an outing of oversized and slouchy trousers, jackets with bulky exaggerated shoulders and grungy plaid prints. Despite the tomboyish appeal, the Marant woman kept a feminine touch in the form of sequin-embellished sweaters and skirts, unexpected ruffles and leather mini skirts. Boots are the shoe of choice–whether as a furry snow boot or a heeled ankle boot.

Dior Fall/Winter 2014 | Paris Fashion Week

Dior Fall 2014–By now, Raf Simons’ vision for the Dior woman seems clear. A streamlined silhouette with unexpected pops of color which also honors the house’s heritage of expert tailoring. For the label’s fall-winter 2014 collection, the Dior woman wears the iconic Bar jacket as a fitted blazer paired with slim-fit pants and holds a vibrant stole over her arm in shades of fuchsia, sapphire and yellow. Elsewhere, she sports daytime dresses featuring unexpected slits–revealing pastel slips underneath. Simons then gets sculptural with full and ruffled skirts taking on varying lengths that show off a good amount of leg for the autumn season. Ending on an evening wear note, the Dior woman gets swathed in a crystal embroidered gown worn over a white, almost t-shirt like dress.
