Paris Fashion Week Day 6 Recap: Balenciaga, Céline, Givenchy, and More!

Front rows were buzzing with celebrities eager to see the latest collections on Day 6 of #PFW. Curious to know who showed up in what? Check out our On The Scene feature for the stylish picks our favorite celebs wore for the shows. For the best of Day 6, keep reading on!

Lack of Inclusion at Balenciaga

All eyes were on Demna Gvasalia as his Fall 2016 RTW collection for Balenciaga would be his first. Expectations were high and Gvasalia delivered with puffy outerwear, shoulder-dominant suiting, and patent chain sunglasses fit for an upcoming Rihanna music video. Unfortunately, Gvasalia did not include a single model of color in his 44-look show. Here’s to guessing Rih-Rih won’t be on board to wear Balenciaga a few months from now.

Back to Basics at Céline

Pants were trailing on the runway. Creative director of Céline Phoebe Philo sought to establish looks of comfort and did so through plenty of sandals, light layers, and a warm color palette of apricot, tangerine, and periwinkle. At times, the pieces read more summer than fall, but with a healthy dose of khaki overcoats, Céline gave you just enough options to kickstart your autumn in style.

Givenchy’s Maze

Egypt was Riccardo Tisci’s guide for Givenchy‘s Fall 2016 RTW collection and the set was transformed into an intricate maze, quite similar to those found in Egypt’s famous pyramids. One of my favorite models Amilna Estevão looked divine in an all-black mini-dress with fur sleeves. The collection was literal in some steps (with the Eye of Horus and other cultural iconography emblazoned on bib front dresses) and more subtle in other ways with military-style officer coats and python skin boots.

And The Rest…

John Galliano, led by creative director Bill Gaytten, centered on lingerie-as-daywear and threw a pair of boxing boots into the mix for a down-to-earth vibe. Red carpet darling Zuhair Murad could do no wrong with dramatic black-and-white designs with striking sheer panels. Roland Mouret went retro in a 38-piece collection celebrating the rock-and-roll greats.

Paris Fashion Week Day 5 Recap: Elie Saab, Junya Watanabe, Nina Ricci, and More!

Day 5 was a triumph of the avant-garde and the abstract. Collections ranged from the super-scupltural to the super-wearable. Take a look at the standout presentations from Day 5 of Paris Fashion Week!

Junya Watanabe’s Formula

Geometry was put to the test at Junya Watanabe, where pieces literally looked as if they had come from a 3-D computerized model. On the other hand, skirts and dresses constructed out of industrial neoprene took reference from Watanabe’s native Japan and its cherished origami art form.

Lace Overload at Elie Saab

A bolder Elie Saab aesthetic showed this season in Paris. A subtle tie-dyed gown accessorized with a leather jacket with fringe detailing on Kendall Jenner was right on trend for Fall. Layers of lace found their way onto long gowns, mini-dresses, and even leather jackets. Kendall closed the show in a floor-length leather strapless gown with sheer panels and what a finish it was!

New Wave at Nina Ricci

In his third collection for Nina Ricci, Guillaume Henry gave onlookers a 42-piece wardrobe of understated elegance. Offering trench coats with a slight metallic sheen and frothy silk blouses, the collection targeted an edgier woman with a taste for menswear.

And The Rest…

Juan Carlos Obando channeled dinner dances of South America past with silk asymmetrical tops and flowing pants with delicate pockets. Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons put forth a triple-threat of floral, upholstery, and armor. Unclear how those three themes fit together? Kawakubo weaved these components into truly wearable art, a turn on the term ‘ready-to-wear.’ Colombian designer Haider Ackermann offered incredibly luxe separates with an eclectic twist. Hair was wrapped in tightly wound velvet rope that was styled in contrast to the form-fitting metallic cropped pants and cuffed jackets.

Cassie is it!

The model turned up with her beau Diddy in a $12,534 Balmain Green Embroidered Laminated Nappa Dress and Christian Louboutin So Kate Black Pointed Pumps. She also flaunted a chic low ponytail and flawless makeup.

Yes, the dress is sold out everywhere. But, in contrast to Cassie’s classy approach, the model took the edgy route by pairing her look with black suede over-the-knee-boots. The detail on this dress is insane!

Fashion News: Chanel Names Willow Smith Its Newest Brand Ambassador

Chanel Names Willow Smith Its Newest Brand Ambassador jada pinkett smith

Simply because February is behind us doesn’t mean we won’t be continuing the celebration of #BlackGirlMagic, and we ESPECIALLY have to showcase that magic when awesome things happen during Women’s History Month. Well, it’s happened: Willow Smith has officially been named Chanel’s newest brand ambassadress.
Karl-Lagerfeld-Willow-Smith-Chanel-Ambasadress-1
An ‘Ambassadress’ is merely the name for a female ambassador (way to fight masculine-power words!) and Willow Smith has recently joined the family of female ambassadors for the French fashion powerhouse. She celebrated her appointment at today’s Chanel show with mom Jada Pinkett Smith.

Hand-selected by Karl Lagerfeld himself, Willow took to the ‘gram to show her appreciation, where she posted this photo:
Karl-Lagerfeld-Willow-Smith-Chanel-Ambasadress-2Her caption read, “Thank you Karl Lagerfeld and the entire team at Chanel for expanding the perceptions of ‘beauty’ by picking me to be the new Chanel ambassador. I am honored.”

Personally, I am excited that a young lady so comfortable in her beautifully melanin-ed skin has now been recruited to represent one of the longest standing fashion houses of today. Not only can she be an inspiration to women of color being part of the fashion industry, but to the countless young men and women that THEY are beautiful too.

What do you think of Willow Smith being tapped for Chanel’s newest ambassadorship?
