Paris Fashion Week continues with more of the most luxurious names in fashion. Yesterday Lanvin and Dior presented their Fall/Winter 2010 collections on the runway.
LANVIN
Always the purveyor of glamour and luxury, Lanvin showed a dark tribal themed collection at Paris Fashion Week. As we have been seeing on other runways the Lanvin collection used dark colours, fur and oversized jackets with bold shoulders. Powers suits and nipped in waists made up the day looks. Silk evening gowns were softly draped. Outfits were accessorized with chunky necklaces, feathers and wooden bracelets.
DIOR
Christian Dior showed their line yesterday morning at Paris Fashion Week. This sexy collection went retro, really retro. Back to Victorian England retro. The lines had a romantic 19th century feel to it with colours ranging from pale grey, green and pink with beiges and browns added to the mix. The romantic feel was also present in light ruffles , draping and embroidery. Many of the light dresses were silky and sheer and sexily draped the body. The makeup on the models was absolutely gorgeous with luscious eyes and lips perhaps signifying a return to a stronger makeup colour palette for fall. At the end of the fashion show, John Galliano came out wearing a ruffled shirt and riding boots. A nod to his equestrian theme from Dior’s haute couture show .

Lanvin is my fave
Dior is too Victoriana for fall. That theme has been done to death. The makeup is nice, but add the hair and I picture London bordello’s in the 19th century. Galiano’s spring collection was much sexier, with a 40′s theme to it and the hair was so much nicer.
I agree, Dior needs to step out and do something new and different but I love the dresses from the show, simple with just enough ruffle
