Feminine, boho chic, dark and mysterious, the Elie Saab Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week collection was composed of lace, sheer chiffon, long fringe, fur, large spherical beaded and sequin embellishments, wide brim hats, abstract prints, tie dye, and a dramatic black eye-makeup with nude face.

Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Comme des Garçons Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week collection takes the cake as the worst collection globally for FW16. Not one single garment is wearable- layers piled upon layers of fabric, Ruffles, mufflers, butthole quilted blanket rosettes, it was a lot of mess piled on some crap. The silhouettes were huge, the fabric selection was…
Acne Studios Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Acne Studios Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week runway show was a joke- unflattering silhouettes and weird retro throwbacks, shall we recount them? The pear shape maker, Flash Dance, the quack boots, elephantiasus pants, the the leoretard. Acne Studios failed hard for PFW FW16 AH16, and was one of the least wearable collections we’ve seen since…
Mugler Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
Mugler Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week took the runway to the battlefield with topstitched leather dresses which ended in Roman-esque strips, leather pants with tuxedo topstitch effect, skin or embossed oversized lapels, and weird underbust details that don’t work on soft dresses like they do on corsets. Sheer leopard chiffon and metallic leopard embroidery, and assymetry-…

Junya Watanabe Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
Sculptural, architectural, fashion-forward and futuristic, the Junya Watanabe Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week fashion show was original.

Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
The Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week fashion show was indicative of the designers out-of-the-box aesthetic, featuring cut outs, asymmetry- off the shoulder lapels for example, straps here and there going accross shirts and pants, double plackets, and square toed coffin shoes. The beauty: an anime Betty Boop black lip with comic book highlight,…
Oversexed: Alexandre Vaulthier Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week PFW FW16 AH16
Alexandre Vaulthier Fall/Winter 2016 Paris Fashion Week was sexy…not original or unique, but definitely sexy what with the sheer strappy looks, flowing dresses and sleeves, cut outs, gold lamé dress with pleated skirt, and coats and jackets with military inspiration and contrast leather detail on the sleeves. For some reason I remember being more awed…
