Paris Fashion Week: Pregnant supermodel Erin O’Connor closes Schiaparelli’s dreamy couture show
Designer Bertrand Guyon sent models down the runway in highly embellished creations that were both diverse and fantastical
Whimsical would be the word that best describes Schiaparelli’s spring/summer couture. Designer Bertrand Guyon presented a fantastical universe of sheeny silks, softly architectural silhouettes and beautiful colours.
The embellishments and shimmering embroideries on diverse designs were more than a match for the gilded gold of the show venue, Paris’ ornate Garnier Opera House.
Anachronism and contrast ruled.
Cowboy boots cut a dramatic style below a medieval mini dress with speckled and billowing Juliette sleeves.
A 1950s bar jacket and peplum ensemble and contemporary pants sported floral scenes that made it look like the pieces were used as a painter’s canvas.
