Main shows of the fourth day of Paris Fashion Week
From September 24 to October 2, Fashion Week is held in Paris - a key event in the industry. Wonderzine talks about the most remarkable shows of spring-summer collections and collects professional comments about them. This edition features Hussein Chalayan, Raf Simons for Dior, Sonia Rykiel, Maison Martin Margiela and Yohji Yamamoto.
Chalayan

The Chalayan collection is one of the best this season. It is airy, fresh and seems like an ode to fly.
The designer’s thoughts about the seashore, thanks to which transparent hats and umbrellas were born, looked smart, not stupid.
The collection is romantic and unique, but it feels the rebellion of Hussein Chalayan.
Dior

The collection reads the codes of Christian Dior and the style of Raf Simons in the same way. For example, the show began with the bar jacket, a sign for Dior, but there were badges and stripes on it that Symons always loved.
These were two shows in one. At the end of the show, stylization changed, and the designer showed a radically different look at the clothes that we just saw.
The collection was as upbeat and energetic as the garden at the Rodin Museum where the show took place.
Maison martin margiela

The theme of combining femininity and masculinity originates at least in the time of Yves-Saint Laurent and Helmut Newton and does not seem old-fashioned for us yet: it is interpreted in its own way by everyone from Michael Kors to Nina Ricci. Give Maison Martin Margiela a tick here. However, what the brand demonstrated was not an interpretation on the theme “a girl meets a boy”, but “a shower meets a boy”.
Sonia rykiel

We found surprise tops and skirts to the floor with metallic sparkling lurex, and elastic bands on dresses with flower appliqués were tied freely, as if the girls were dancing in them all night.
These beautiful clothes prove to us that the new designer Sonia Rykiel has no problems.
Given the fact that the show was at the Sorbonne, we would have liked any collection - even inspired by the university.
Yohji yamamoto

Final bows with bright baggy dress-shirts, tied with neon straps - an excellent squeeze collection.
The collection confronts two completely different aesthetics. On the one hand, everything is youth and bright, on the other - elegant classics of the brand. In both parts there were strong things, but Yoji Yamamoto's branded things looked most convincing.
Everything, from club sportswear to casual, formal suits, showed Yoji Yamamoto's light attitude toward femininity.
