Paris Fashion Week: Shape Up....

Yves Saint Laurent in my opinion, is one of the most prestigious fashion houses in the world, and they have presented one of the "sharpest" collections at Paris fashion week. Mixing enriched fabrics and superb angular cuts allowed the presentation to be more engaging than ever. I was so impressed with the way they pulled off the lineage and the execution of the angles was amazing! Accessories were kept to an absolute minimum to allow the cuts to take center-stage...
Models stormed the runway in identical black bowl-cuts and Gothic dark lips set the tone for a modernist look. Distinct silhouettes were noticeable, but in way more abstract shapes that allowed the sharp angles and inverted triangles to be balanced out with rounded lapels, slouchy trousers and tulip skirts. Hourglass blocks defined the modelesque figures in more voluminous cuts and fitted the body perfectly. Various shades of taupes, browns, blacks and at times this metallic yellow-ish gold swamped the runway, although with more sheen and texture to them than usual.... I live for it.
