Paris Fashion Week: Fall 2014 – 2015 Color Trends.

Parisian runways were full to bursting with vibrant and purposefully jarring colour ways like at Christian Dior, Miu Miu and Carven. Tone on tone silhouettes flush with the power of plain were linear and loose at Haider Ackermann, Viktor +Rolf’s Fall/Winter 2014 show was a study in shades of grey and at Rochas; the palette was a mingling of muted pastels woken up by jolts of colour courtesy of ruched leather gloves.
