Beautiful People AW20

Beautiful People AW20

The Beautiful People AW20 collection was inspired by a fusion of traditional European styles and modern urban fashion, with a focus on creating pieces that are both beautiful and functional. The designs were a mix of timeless classics, such as elegant coats and tailored suits, as well as more modern, edgy styles, such as oversized sweaters and statement pieces. The color palette was muted, with a focus on earthy tones, such as olive green, camel, and navy blue, which added a touch of sophistication to the pieces.

Psychotic Yet Beguiling

Psychotic Yet Beguiling

The blue cropped cardigan with the feathers around the neck and cuffs. This one piece took me all the way back to the mid 90s where streetwear and Lolita-esque style meshed seamlessly in every glossy (or matte pages if you’re an “artsy” publication) magazine and in the streets.

The Influencer Lounge

The Influencer Lounge

Then suddenly the lights changed from an ambient purple haze to a bright camera friendly show light and the music turns up. The first look struts past me and I focused on the beautiful blue fur and wool blazer with a 60s inspired jeweled brooch. I already loved where this was going.

I Want That

I Want That

This wardrobe won’t lie to you. When it says it can be day into evening, it means it. Crisp redesigned button down wrap shirts and shirt dresses are paired with unapologetically borderline gauche chunky earrings and necklaces. The overall effect is an absolute, “I want that…”.

Seduction of Soul

Seduction of Soul

This designer knows a woman’s desires before she even realizes them. I felt like I held my breath through most of the show. I was just in awe. As soon as I was finished gawking at the genius mix of patterns and texture I was completely blindsided by the luxuriant washes of gold.

Todas Las Primaveras De Un Invierno

Todas Las Primaveras De Un Invierno

In my head I had re-imagined the story of Great Expectations set in Barcelona. With a main character so bewitchingly beautiful that her garments had to be just so to keep up with her allure. A sheer floral embroidered gown floated through the hallway, hauntingly graceful.

Floating Through Life

Floating Through Life

Upon arrival of the tented outdoor venue I couldn’t wait to see what Yanina had in store for this season. My philosophy in life has always been “…floating through life…” and this collection was a physical depiction of my inner most thought.

Hot Mexican Winter

Hot Mexican Winter

It was right around the time of this show during Paris Couture Week that I had begun to realize that aside from seeing couture fashion I have also had the best tour of foreign embassies in Paris. Montreal based Mexican born designer, Antonio Ortega, showed his AW19/20 couture collection on July 2nd at the Canadian Embassy. The venue was perfect.

The Ballet

The Ballet

A beautiful ballerina transforms the Palais de Tokyo in Paris into a stage. With each twirl, she announces the commencement of the much anticipated Celia Kritharioti couture show. The energy in the room had been one of buzzing excitement for a good 30 minutes prior to this moment.

In a Mood

In a Mood

Yumi Katsura’s AW19/20 couture collection is a dream manifested into reality. Having dedicated her life to couture fashion, Japanese born Parisian designer opened her first bridal salon in Japan in 1964. She has since expanded to France, the US and the UK. Along the way, she became the first Asian to be a member of the Haute Couture of Camera Nazionale Della Moda Italiana.

OMG OMG OMG

OMG OMG OMG

Les Invalides was hot. The air was unrelentingly heavy in this historic setting as the audience eagerly awaits for the show to begin. I make new friends with the two gorgeous attendees sitting next to me. Matthieu pulled out a beautiful fan and started fanning generously at his friend Ines.

The Peacock From Ibiza

The Peacock From Ibiza

The modern peacock, but this peacock lives in Ibiza. Swedish duo Lazoschmidl brings a quirky satire of social hierarchy onto the runway. Even their choice of venue was deliciously satirical. The low key intimidate venue of the Goethe Institute served as a befitting backdrop for this delicious collection.

I'll Take One of Each!

I'll Take One of Each!

One can easily emulate an “I’m with the band” vibe with a Magda Butrym rouched velvet dress. If I can have just one outfit from this collection I think I’d feel like a million bucks and insist on standing at the entrance with those It girls.

Art is Always Evolving

Art is Always Evolving

Attendees came in with their cameras in hand snapping away, only stopping to grab a glass of champagne. I had no idea when to stop taking pictures, there was just so much to see. When the models finally emerged, I knew I was in trouble…

Karim of Morrocco

Karim of Morrocco

We had a very in depth guided tour of his collection by two of the most attentive and knowledgeable staff that I have ever encountered. You know that these two not only loved the collection, they loved the designer as well.

Where am I Going?

Where am I Going?

Eventually all the models were out and weaving in and out of the maze of mirrors in a surreal world that felt like a dream that is taking place in an imaginary metro station somewhere. Each commuter in high end outerwear that makes even those who don’t fare well in the cold want to explore extended amounts of time in it.

Let's Play Dress Up

Let's Play Dress Up

The abundance of character in these designs remind me of a little girl playing dress up. Every single item is exuberantly fabulous and it is all thrown together to articulate individuality in style. There is no holding back on the creativity.

Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians

Outside of the show the usual suspects arrive at the venue. Guests dressed to the nines, heavy hitting influencers and major publications alike wave their invitations in front of organizers checking the guest list. The main event outside seems to be a tiny Yorkie that all of the paparazzi are taking pictures of.
