CARVEN FALL WINTER 2015-16 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – PARIS FASHION WEEK
For their debut as the duo designers of women’s collections, Adrien Caillaudaud and Alexis Martial offer their vision of the winter 2015 Carven girl: a fresh, contemporary and self confident character with a penchant for high waisted trousers, trench coats and
mini-skirts.
The collection evokes an égérie – a London girl living in Paris, swaying between an electric revival of the late 60’s and the timeless elegance of active Parisian women.
She’s definitely not shy about colors. She lavishes on lilac, flower prints, blues. Textures swing from soft technical tweed, to eel skin and gathered texture fabric, to quilted jacquards.
Flowers are a print staple, found on jacquard bomber jackets and shoes, while mineral stones such as Jasper azurite, and the psychedelic skin of toxic reptiles adorn some accessories pieces.
There’s an undeniable 60’s feeling in the mini skirts, an après-ski aesthetic in the primary colored turtlenecks, gabardine trousers, fluffy orange knits balanced with chunky mules and oversized coats, for a newly proportioned silhouette.
The collection reinterprets an assessed Carven code- the lace, into a technical lace on organza. Couture inspired waffled embossed silk dresses are sliding towards an early 70’s atmosphere are counterbalanced by the weight of a masculine reefer jacket.
To free her movements, her daily bag is reinvented into a messenger leather bag worn cross-body. And wherever she goes, she wears a solar metallic gold disk around her neck.

ROCHAS FALL WINTER 2015-16 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – PARIS FASHION WEEK
Dreamy. Weightless. The Rochas Autumn/Winter 2015 collection is saturated with soft severity.
The heroine is fully in control, although she has a tendency to give in to the temptation of fleeting thrills and is always ready to indulge in the pleasure of eccentricity.
Alessandro Dell’Acqua opts for an assertively dark expression where sensuously precise cuts reveal the exquisite splendor of materials.
With very slightly emphasized shoulders and a nipped-in waist, the soft, vertical shapes slightly flare at the bottom and end at the calf. Warrior-style coats top crewneck dresses.
Military uniform-style shirts reveal a bourgeois, feminine spirit, fastened with little bows in the same wool from which the skirts are cut.
Dresses are held up by straps and sculpted with flounces along the cleavage in tribute to a classic shape by Marcel Rochas for the 90th anniversary of the brand.
Another excerpt from the archives, the pattern of a swallow in flight, is reinvented in the form of thick embroidery along belts, tops and little bomber jackets, and appears as a print on plain dresses.
A diversity of materials creates contrast to enhance the streamlined purity of the pieces: cashmere meets satin on dresses and skirts while various types of embroidery and jacquard embellish tops and coats.
Feather-light tulle is layered with tweed or paired with cashmere in brassieres of a nostalgic sensuousness while fur pockets are affixed to wraparound coats.
Full-bodied materials appear surprisingly weightless: double-faced cashmere, boiled cashmere, duchesse satin and silk jacquard reveal their buoyancy.
The natural color scheme reserves a few departures: shades of army green, ebony, black and bordeaux are peppered with yolk yellow and sky blue.
Accessories underline the collection’s starkness with an uninhibited eccentricity, such as pumps with a finely embroidered ankle strap, heels in fur, or oversized sunglasses with lingerie elastic.

JACQUEMUS FALL WINTER 2015-16 WOMEN’S COLLECTION – PARIS FASHION WEEK
“L’ enfant du soleil”
I wanted poetry like that of a Michel Gondry movie, of childhood, of decoupages, a childlike woman again, not even, a sexless child.
Who wears masks, puts make-up on and plays with making clothes. Clothes from her father, her mother.
I wanted nature too. Primitive and naive, those are the words that I immediately wanted to attribute to this collection.
Freedom also to do, to say and to have fun, spontaneously.
