Paris Fashion Week F/W 2010 Runway Review BY Ani Tzenkova / Feb 01 10 @ 10:58 AMEvery season I try to redefine each fashion week by its strongest characteristics. The fashion weeks personalities rarely change but perhaps my perspective on them continues to evolve. Looking at Paris this season I would say that Paris's personality is "Classic Remixed". All silhouettes have a similar structural starting point but what makes the featured designer's collections stand out is how each pulls, crops and tweaks it to express a very different aesthetic, within the variables of "Classic Remixed".Dior Homme draped away at reconstructing the suit jacket by introducing beautiful sweeping necklines. The turtle-cow neck wrapped like a scarf, masking the jackets closures, creating a poetic fluidity.Dries Van Noten went super sportswear chic, with strong and directional trend notes. I see this collection/aesthetic as a major victim of plagiarism in the fast fashion industry. Loungewear a trend which will be hitting the stores in a big way in the next 2 seasons, was a major theme in the collection.Lanvin, flawless as usual!Stefano Pilati is onto something really big in his Fall/ Winter 2010 collection. His timing feels so right in introducing these kilt-like silhouettes, draped trousers and tailored overalls. It is not the first time we have seen kilts, but it feels really promising here and now.I really enjoyed the Kenzo looks. The palette and textures were great.
