BALMAIN -
This look is simple and elegant but in the same breathe provides intricacy from the silouhette. Everything appears elongated, from the hat to the leg slit, it makes the model seem long, and sexy. The structure appears almost masculine with the heavy shoulder pads, yet the ruffles, folds and slits add a more feminine touch.
CHANEL -
I love how Chanel can constantly reinvent the classic shape and material which Coco originally used in 1916. The mermaid-esque skirt creates a stunning hip to waist ratio, yet they still keep that functionality of a suit with a straight jacket.
CHRISTIAN DIOR -
The nude colour with the black contrast is stunning. The folding and ruffles are once again very feminine. The head wrap (the lack of hair) strips back the model creating a plain look - letting the dress speak for itself.
GIVENCHY -
Florals were all over the runway and Givenchy was no exception. I love how the texture and silhouette is the focal point of this piece rather than the colour. Having it in black says elegance, mystery. The dress is sheer and makes it more sexy as you get slight flashes of skin as the model walks.
RONALD VAN DE KEMP -
Once again more florals but this time with a splash of gorgeous colour. This dress shouts awards show - Oscars maybe? The low Bardot neckline reveals the shoulders - a very feminine, sensual part of a woman's body, but completely covers her with gorgeous flowers from there down.
