See Last Day Show At Paris Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2016

The Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016 was concluded yesterday, 7th Oct. 2015. The event kicked off on 29th, Sept. 2015 and had a record of fabulous designs and styles on runway. Below are the last day shows

 

1. Louis Vuitton

Wow did Vuitton get it right when it hired Nicolas Ghesquière, who presented another stellar collection at the Frank Gehry-designed Fondation on the final day of Paris Fashion Week. Ghesquière's best collection yet, and a highlight of the entire season.

2. Moncler Gamme Rouge

A wild meadow was the perfect setting for today’s Giambattista Valli’s spring/summer 2016 show for Moncler Gamme Rouge. This, the third show of the season for the designer (he has already shown his eponymous label as well as younger line Giamba), had all of his romantic, feminine hallmarks - from the beautifully embroidered floral applique to short and sweet silhouettes – that one wants to wear sitting for an impromptu picnic under the heat of the summer sun amidst wildflowers.

3. Miu Miu

Those shoes are David Bowie-style platforms crafted from a lightning bolt patchwork of Python and metallics were about as high as the silver and gold-foiled enclaves that models walked between. On the other end of the height spectrum; the ballet pump. It's back. Neat blush pink silk ballet pumps with sweet little bow tie, albeit Mrs Prada's redux come bandaged at the bridge and ankle in black and white gingham ribbon, suggesting she might have had an injury. She could well have done.

FASHION: Meet Australian Model-Turned-Designer, Kym Ellery

Anyone can reel off their favorite Australian actresses—Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett—but your favorite Aussie designers? Here’s one to remember: Kym Ellery. The Sydney-based talent – known for her tailored-yet-fluid architectural silhouettes with extreme volume and innovative fabric – has enjoyed the fashion industry’s attention since launching her eponymous label in 2007. 

Kym Ellery

"I have always loved fashion," said the 30-year-old designer, who grew up making textiles and ceramics with her artist mother. "I was a very quiet child and my mother says the first time that I had an opinion was at the age of four when she refused to buy me a white frilly skirt with pink polka dots. Apparently I threw a tantrum on the shop floor and my mother was so in shock that she bought it for me. It's all been about fashion ever since." She told Australia's Russh magazine

Curious to know more about her fashion world, and to sniff out the new collection, Yahoo Style met up with Ellery the day before her Paris show. They found the designer knee-deep in model fittings in a loft-style studio in the Oberkampf district. Dressed in a black mohair Céline sweater and a black skirt with a high side-split from one of her own collections (“It’s silk rayon and cotton jersey that’s been fused onto a foam layer, it’s like wearing a little sleeping bag”), she looked the epitome of cool with her hair pulled back in a messy topknot, vivid red-and-blue Céline sneakers on her feet. For someone who grew up in “an isolated city called Perth,” this girl is certainly going places.

Yahoo Style: We’re here in rainy Oberkampf, but how’s life in Sydney?

Kym Ellery: I live an hour out of the city, in Palm Beach. I’ve lived there nearly three years because my partner is a pro surfer; I grew up in Perth with a proper surfing family so I have an affinity with the ocean, and he obviously does too. We’ve chosen to be an hour out so that we can be on a beautiful part of the ocean, in a beautiful house, with nature and birds and a big kitchen so that I can cook. Then, when I travel – I take the collection to Paris, New York, and Milan four times a year – it’s where I get to have nice dinners and see my friends.

Your Spring-Summer 2016 collection also evokes the ocean…

Yes, it’s inspired by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who came to Australia in 1969 and ‘wrapped’ the coastline of Little Bay [with fabric and rope]. I’ve always found that artwork so powerful. I wanted to approach the wrapping of the female form in a similar way to how they approached wrapping the coastline, taking different elements from their work to drape the body, gather, put metal eyelets throughout, ties and ropes and things strung on, but also referencing the part of the collection that’s become the brand’s DNA – the flare and the volumes on parts of the body – but in a new way.

Any other new directions?

It was really about trying to lighten it up, in terms of fabric weights. It’s ironic that I’m Australian and I’m attracted to denser fabric, but it’s more to support the architecture of the designs… I love the suits with curtained panels around the arms that are then tied up. There are some pretty grand silhouettes with fabric and volume, dresses in metal fabrics that reminded me of the ocean’s surface – metal fabrics that crunch up – but also pieces in abstract floral prints based on native Australian flowers.

One of your signatures is the flared pant.

In my second collection I did a flare. It wasn’t even the moment – that’s how long I’ve been doing it, I suppose. But my schooling being Russh magazine, where it was all about these It-girls from the ’60s and ’70s, that stayed with me. At this formative age, where I was forming my own style and being around the fashion director and the fashion editor of Russh, you’re seeing what they’re liking and you’re forming your own opinion… I’m actually really happy that I was there and not somewhere else at such an impressionable age, absorbing things that wouldn’t help me define my own signature.

Do you recall your first designer yearnings?

Mum said that when I was little all I would do is draw ladies with really tall hats, or shoes with bows. And even at eight or nine I can remember spending all my lunch breaks at school drawing clothes. I didn’t know who Balenciaga was but I did a bit of modeling when I was young, went to Sydney and that’s where I learned about fashion. I didn’t read glossy magazines, I read art books and lots of novels as a child.

So did you first make pieces as a teenager?

It was kind of making something to wear on a Saturday night and my girlfriends eventually were like, ‘Oh you made that? Can you make me a top?’

Isabel Marant started out like that…Can you remember any specific pieces?

Loads, they were probably very slutty – it was back when I was 18 and started clubbing and I remember one girlfriend wanted me to make this little backless-top number… But I suppose it was a good start in learning how to work with different fabrics and draping on different body shapes. I taught myself how to make patterns. I worked in a bridal shop at 13 and my job was stitching the veils and, eventually, alterations and I really started to understand how garments are structured and different techniques and taught myself how to pattern-make just using my eye, because I love the mathematical side of construction. I was good at maths and science.

So you love pattern-making?

Ah. It’s so much fun, so relaxing. Do you find Excel spreadsheets relaxing? I love them. Just knowing that there’s a cell to put something in. I think I feel relieved to put projects or ideas into something technical.

Are you launching any new categories?

Yes, fine jewelry – there’ll be some pieces in the show.

What’s the designer scene like in Australia?

There’s lots of talent and a good market, a big chunk of the market for a lot of international online stores comes from Australian brands. Sites like Mytheresa.com, whenever they list their top five countries, Australia is always in there. Because we’re a British colony we have that same mentality as Britain, where you get an outfit to go out. It’s not like France, where you wear cashmere and flat shoes, it’s its own ecosystem and everyone has their own signature. There’s the futuristic designer Dion Lee, there’s the voluminous ’50s feminine girl Toni Maticevski and then there’s the more deconstructed, everything-in-black thing by STRATEAS.CARLUCCI.

So which are you?

Ah, I guess I’m the woman’s designer. I design for women. I really think it’s important to think about what the girl wants to wear.

Who is the Ellery client?

She’s intelligent, she’s many ages, she travels, she’s often from other countries and she’s coming through town. That’s what’s been really interesting for us, as we’ve grown over the last two years. Being here and working more and more with global stores, recognizing the different regions and what all the women around the world want and trying to think about all of them when you’re making a collection, from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to L.A.

What’s a typical day back home? How often do you go to your atelier in Sydney?

Every day. I have a yoga teacher who comes to my place at seven. We do an hour-and-a-half of yoga and meditation and then I cook breakfast. Then get in the car and go to work.

Wow, don’t ever leave Australia!

You should move there, if you like the sound of it so much!

I’m scared of surfing.

Yes, I don’t go in the water past the waist because I’m scared of sharks. A dog got taken off the beach the other day; a man was walking his dog, threw a ball in and this shark came in. They’re everywhere at the moment. Poor dog…

Sounds like Jaws… Your past three collections have featured decorative details, such as glazed buttons, by your mother, Debra. Has she been a big creative influence?

Yes, she has. She sews but she’s more art-focused… I used to ask her [to teach me to sew] and she’d be like, ‘You’re too young.’ Then we nearly drowned, my mum and I. We were at this beach and got sucked out to sea – the beaches are really dangerous in Australia. Apart from the sharks, there are big waves and strong currents. We were very lucky to survive, my brother managed to get someone to come out and get us, and Mum was a swimming teacher, a strong swimmer. Afterwards, she was like, ‘You can do what you want, I’ll teach you how to sew.’

FASHION: Kim Kardashian Shows off Baby Bump in Skin-tight Outfits

On Sunday, 26 Sept. 2015, Kim Kardashian was spotted in her usual trend of dressing bold in skin-tight outfits in spite of her pregnancy stage. 

The 34-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was dressed in a nude dress showing off her baby bump and ample cleavage as she enters her 3rd trimester stage of her pregnancy.

The curve-hugging fabric isn't the most eye-popping feature about Kim's outfit. Her bust is on full display thanks to the see-through mesh fabric on the top part of the dress. With her hair slicked back in a ponytail and shades, Kim looks like she was headed to walk the runway at a fashion show instead of just leaving the doctor.

Kim, who is expecting her second child with husband Kanye West, had been spotted in recent months showing off her growing baby bump in tight dresses and sexy outfits, despite struggling with her comfort level this time around.

"She might look amazing, but she doesn't feel that great," a family source told E! News exclusively. "She is often uncomfortable. That being said, she feels much better this time around than she did with North (first child)"
