Paris Fashion Week: Fall/Winter 2014-2015.

Paris Fashion Week brought forth the most anticipated show of the entire fashion season: Nicolas Ghesquiere’s debut as the creative director at the house of Vuitton. It marked a sea of change for the house as chic pragmatism that Ghesquiere is known for reigned with a more modern and simplistic collection for fall 2014. Zuhair Murad continued his exploration with the insect world from Couture 2014- particularly on butterflies. And Alessandro Dell’Acqua infused his Rochas debut with a hefty dose of fashion. These are some of the trends Paris has to offer Fall/Winter 2014.

Trapeze Shapes. Trapeze shapes looked fresh and loose at Maison Rabih Kayrouz, Hermes, and Lanvin.
