Fall 2015 Couture Fashion Week, Paris

Published on July 9, 2015

Fall 2015 Couture Fashion Week is in full swing in Paris and here are my favourite picks! My vote for overall win so far goes to Atelier Versace for its colour and bold, sexy designs, which is what Atelier Versace does best. Plus, the hair and makeup were totally on point as were those flower crowns.

Atelier Versace | The drama!

Atelier Versace | Fierce doesn’t even come close.

My least favourite, disappointingly enough, was Chanel. It was, dare I say it, boring as far as the fashion goes, and the hair and makeup were a total WTF? moment for me. Ok, let me revise that- the red lipstick was amazing, the streaks of dark blush and those terrible wigs were trying too hard. I wish all Chanel shows could be like the Paris-Bombay Métiers d’Art 2011/12 show, because wow, that was just sheer joy to watch and it is still exciting to go through and be inspired by. Oh, Karl.

Chanel | See what I mean? Boring!

I also loved a lot of what Bouchra Jarrar sent down the runway- minimal and well tailored. It was right up my alley!

Bouchra Jarrar | I really hope a version of this vest makes it to the high street! How amazing would it look over skinny jeans?

Giambattista Valli sent down a few pretty dresses and lots of colour which I loved.

Giambattista Valli | So pretty!

Armani Privé was very glittery, very feathery, very shoulder pad-y and 80’s inspired, and er, not my cup of tea, but I absolutely adored the hot pink lips and tips! That exact shade won’t be available until later this year, but apparently #508 from the Rouge d’Armani Bright Ribbon collection is a close second if you can’t wait.

Armani Privé | So pink!

Schiaparelli had some very pretty dresses- feminine silhouettes, prints and tea length skirts. I also really loved the coloured eyeshadow and the peach cheeks and lips on the models. This velvet gown is gorgeous.

Schiaparelli | Beautiful velvet.

And finally, John Paul Gaultier was interesting. At first glance, I thought it was a hot mess (and for some of the looks, I still stand by that assessment). But on a second, closer and more thoughtful look, I did really like most of what he sent down. I think the key is to strip it of the silly headgear, striped tights and boots and look at the pieces as individual components.

Jean Paul Gaultier | Beautiful separates.

Jean Paul Gaultier | Er…

Quickly now, head over to Vogue.com to view all of the shows and then come back and tell me what you thought! (Or not. But tell me your thoughts anyway! I’d love to know!)

Until next time,

xo, Naushin

    I love this little review of couture week! I have to agree with you that Chanel can get a little boring and seems to be trying too hard. And Bouchra Jarrar was my absolute favorite! Lovely post!

HOW IT STARTED // Light, bright, white, minimalist HOW IT STARTED // Light, bright, white, minimalist. I kind of miss those days but then again kind of not? I’ve embraced darker desaturated colours like our Navy blue accent wall downstairs and our green home office/guest room upstairs. ❤️ What’s your preference? Do you naturally veer towards colour? 🤔 #sofreshmyhome #navyblueandprettytoo
A IS FOR...? // Tell me what’s on your mind. I’ll go first: A is for Amazing. Because after almost a whole year of remote schooling, it looks like the kids might finally be going back after Spring break! Woo hoo! 💃🏻 #LAlife
WELL, FINALLY. // It’s February! Legit can’t b WELL, FINALLY. // It’s February! Legit can’t believe we made it through the longest January ever. 🙄 I SO wish I was sitting at this table with all of my favourite people right about now. Instead we’re in, well, I think we all know where we all are and have been since March 2020. Oy vey. 🤦🏻‍♀️ BUT it’s my birthday month and I think I’m finally ready to share everything that’s happened since last September including why I dropped out of the One Room Challenge. Stay tuned for that post. It seems like a season of change for so many of us. May Allah keep us all in His protection. 🙏🏼

DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and DIVERSIONARY TACTICS // It’s #caturdayathome and if I focus on Pippa, I can ignore the fact that the kids’ room hasn’t looked this tidy in weeks. Is it just me or is cleaning basically a waste of time during the holidays/pandemic?? 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️ It literally never stays clean! They’re home ALL the time. My mom is very proud of me right now, I’m sure. 😆 #sofreshmyhome
SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase SHADOWS AND LIGHT // If I had to choose one phrase to remember 2020 by it would be “Sharp contrasts”. We had our fair share of hard to believe moments and lots of jagged peaks and dips. BUT 2021 promises to be an entirely new chapter and I can’t wait to share everything with you soon! Happy New Year, friends! In the Year That Felt Like 10 Years, can you believe we finally made it to the end?? 😱🥳👏🏼#sofreshmyhome #greenrooms
WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall preten WFH GLOW UP // Yes, for this photo we shall pretend Andrew lounges on this work chair with a leopard print throw artfully draped across his legs. 🤣 But seriously tho, having this cabinet to style has been so much fun whenever our bedroom needs a little pick-me-up! #sofreshmyhome
