PARIS FASHION WEEK WINTER 2011

SOME MODELS WALKED IN STAGE

Black and white tweed tailoring evoked a mood of elegance mixed with laid-back chic, especially in cocoon coats and swing-back jackets detailed with gold chains to match the handbags. Short shifts had a Left Bank '60s air in PVC and leather, with tweed.

The monochrome mood was echoed in furs printed with Prince of Wales check and polka-dot patent. The bright colour palette of YSL was revisited in purple feathered skirts and coats in cobalt silk.

The finale parade of white silk, crepe, ostrich and satin - in halter gowns and pleated 'palazzo' pants with white chiffon shirts - updated Saint Laurent's eclectic exoticism for a new generation.

 

All the models had grey wigs which were teased into exaggerated French pleat hairstyles, save for the gender-bender catwalk star, 19 year old Serbian-Australian, Andrej Pejic, whose blonde hair was all his own.

They all looked the epitome of Parisian chic in belted trench coats, smart tweed jackets and skirts, and tailored, pinstripe trouser suits with pussy cat bow blouses, and all the right accessories. One model appeared in a mink and tweed coat, another in a silver brocade tunic and ski pants, trimmed with fur, and both pulling matching shopping trolleys along behind them.

With more than 500 metres of hand-pleated chiffon forming the train, and a bodice hand-embroidered in chiffon, tulle and pearls, the astounding 'wedding dress' which completed Sarah Burton's collection for the Alexander McQueen label, shown in Paris, was fit for a queen.

Watch it !!!!

 

Examples Of Some Winter Clothes

French leadership in European fashion may date from the 18th century, when the art, architecture, music, and fashions of the French court at Versailles were imitated across Europe. Visitors to Paris brought back clothing that was then copied by local dressmakers. Stylish women also ordered fashion dolls dressed in the latest Parisian fashion to serve as models.


It originally referred to Englishman Charles Frederick Worth's work, produced in Paris in the mid-nineteenth century. In modern France, hauteur couture is a "protected name" that can be used only by firms that meet certain well-defined standards. However, the term is also used loosely to describe all high-fashion custom-fitted clothing, whether it is produced in Paris or in other fashion capitals such as Milan, London, New York and Tokyo.


The couturier Charles Frederick Worth is widely considered the father of hauteur couture as it is known today. Although born in Bourne, Lincolnshire, England, Worth made his mark in the French fashion industry. Revolutionizing how dressmaking had been previously perceived, Worth made it so the dressmaker became the artist of garnishment: a fashion designer. While he created one-of-a-kind designs to please some of his titled or wealthy customers, he is best known for preparing a portfolio of designs that were shown on live models at the House of Worth. Clients selected one model, specified colors and fabrics, and had a duplicate garment tailor-made in Worth's workshop. Worth combined individual tailoring with a standardization more characteristic of the ready-to-wear clothing industry, which was also developing during this period.
