Each x Other

After finding this brand for the first time last season, I have to admit I adore their style. Casual, simple and comfortable looking - all you need for the colder weather. Unlike many other cities, Paris is going traditional with their color scheme for the cooler seasons. I can't complain, it's the style I love! It's classic, effortless - screams French chic.

H& M

Love the jacket, hate the pants

The first runway show I'd seen from H& M revealed luxurious, glamorous clothing. As I mentioned in London, it's wonderful to see high street brands branching out to promote their seasonal clothing. It makes brands converge into one quality with different price points. Fashion for all! Whilst I'm not a fan of snakeskin and animal prints, I adored the detailing and basics of the collection. The clothing stunned on the sleek runway, and there's no denying that the high street brands are climbing up the trend ladder.

Joie

This collection epitomizes my stereotypical understanding of "French fall fashion", and I love it. With a mixture of exotic prints (I feel like I've seen a kaftan dress of a similar fabric in my wardrobe) and staple cold weather items, this collection gives so much inspiration on how to transition warmer weather clothes into the cooler months. Up to this point, it has been my favorite collection from Paris, so narrowing down to even my top three is so difficult!

Can we take a moment to appreciate these booties!

I adore this dress!

Ellie Saab

Lace, pops of color and an electric blue runway. Oh Ellie Saab, how fun your shows must be live! I really enjoyed the excitement of this collection. Luxurious purple lace and black and red ensembles were fantastic in this show. Unlike the typical 'muted tones' of autumn/winter (which I do adore, nonetheless) this show mixed the classic cold weather staples with some summery shirts and skirts. El Nino, anyone?

Zuhair Murad

Love, love, love

After being reminded of Murad's talent at the Oscars (Priyanka Chopra stunned on her first Oscar carpet), I was so excited for this collection. Naturally, I was not disappointed. Some of the pieces reminded me of Nina Dobrev's Oscars after party dress (which happened to be Ellie Saab, but anyways), which wowed me on first glance, I was so happy to see the mini floral detailing on some of the dresses. This collection would be my ideal for prom or a formal event, and maybe someday (fingers crossed) I will be able to wear something as gorgeous as this season's collection, if not a real piece by the fashion god.

Valentino

I feel like this is the type of dress that you could wear to a 'The 100' party

This versatile collection featured a mix of metallic patterns, flown nude dresses and bold metallic numbers. All fit the silver-grey runway, with a very technological vibe. It almost seemed as if the pieces were made of recycled materials, from plastic to computer parts. Whilst the collection might not be the most wearable (I'm not sure if the embellishing on the dress above is very friendly for the day to day life), it certainly would turn heads! Overall, the slicked back hair, barely there makeup and standout pieces created a modern, edgy vibe which I adore.

Chanel

That is stunning!

Karl Lagergeld could do no wrong. This diverse runway twisted the classic Chanel coat, strung out pearls and had us craving the cold weather. If only we could pull off winter the way these gorgeous models do!

Louis Vuitton

From the atmosphere photos

This edgy collection featured some deep berry lips, bed head and a lot of leather. The sleek clothing fit numerous aesthetics, with models mainly cascading down the runway in black, white and red. From casual day looks to some amazing night out ensembles, the diverse collection matched the modern design of the silvery runway. Overall, a great end to a wonderful season!
