The main shows of the last days 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 issue features Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Sacai, Valentino and others.
Alexander McQueen

McQueen always said that National Geographic was his first source of inspiration, and the ethnics that was always present in the magazine are in the collection of Sarah Burton.
The collection had a lot of iconic things for the brand, which were wrapped in a commercial shell, but something was clearly missing in it. And this is Sarah Burton. Obviously, she understands how Alexander McQueen thought and worked, what is his DNA and what he could have created in 2013, and it does not cause feelings. Maybe it's time to take a risk and show your voice?
The most impressive were the white Victorian dresses, worn with accessories resembling a horse harness.
Chanel

The show opened a series of tweed items in Karl Lagerfeld's signature punk interpretation. Colors - neon, silhouettes - graphic.
Hermès

Both cotton shirts, poplin fabric and vegetable prints combined with leather were attractive.
As Lemaire noted, the girl Hermès is an adventurer and traveler, and given this, the ease of collection begins to make sense. There is nothing more complicated than a combination of a voluminous shirt and a suede skirt or a gorgeous linen suit.
Although it is possible that Christophe Lemaire, while considering this collection for Hermès, himself sat in the Sorbonne library and looked at illustrations of the 18th century with rare plants. Anyway, he had one of the most successful flower themes in this botanical season.
Louis vuitton

One of the difficult tasks that will face the successor of Mark Jacobs, when he or she is called, is to be able to arrange an equally daring and magnificent show.
The collection, which Marc Jacobs showed as a farewell to Louis Vuitton, was not an ode to the French style, but an enthusiastic American way of thanking a city in which he had a good time.
It was not a sentimental collection. Of course, it was nostalgic, but it became clear that this was the beginning of a fresh chapter in the history of Louis Vuitton.

Evening dresses in beads and fringes and beckoned to go to them for a party.
Sacai

Previously, Sacai was a brand for a narrow circle of experts, but now the excitement around it has reached its limit. So, in the front row were Eva Cavalli and Moncler representatives.
Saint laurent

The collection seemed to be a perfect squeeze of Japanese rocker's wardrobe: there is a little from Debbie Harry, from the girl from Chelsea and from punk.
Edie Slimane changes the grunge silhouettes from last season with his masterful cut - thin, sharp and instinctive for the designer.
Stella mccartney

The show was a little disappointing. Loyal customers of the brand expected more.
Valentino

As on the July couture show, Kyuyri and Piccioli combine not very boring everyday clothes with evening dresses with luxurious embroideries. But their muse is no longer a girl with a pearl earring, she is mythological and magical.
Although theatricality was felt in embroideries and jewelery, and the uniform was rather tough and modest, the collection looked young - perhaps because of the presence of pleated mini-dresses and clothes inspired by sports.
Anne Boleyn went to Egypt.
