It seems than no quicker than a flash and already the men's show have uttered their au revoirs. The ladies have arrived for couture..and already fashion editors are getting frustrated with 13 year-old bloggers blocking their view due to home-made headwear. Thankfully us gents don't have to compete with mini-power fashion blogger Tavi front row, and her huge bow hair clip to match, at a Dior couture show...no things are far more civilised in our fashion weeks.
So Paris rolled on swiftly after our stint in Milan and with a slightly differing take on what to expect next season. Over at YSL Stefano Pilati kind of did his own thing when you place it amongst the show we'd seen already. Ok, so its not as crazy and put on a limb as a Vivienne Westwood or Dsquared show but it held it's own, yet subtlety keeping a very alternative view on men's dressing. This was a looser collection than a lot of the skinny skinny stuff we've seen in general so far. Here things were altogether looser, more billowing as opposed to drainpipe and stick thin. There was an soft hint of the industrialist about it with bib-fronted overalls. Yes there was a slenderness to the fit and we're not talking walking marquees but with the large overcoats, hareem pants..a nod to Yves Saint-Laurent's time in Morocco perhaps...and less constricting fastenings along with a colour palette of blacks and greys gave it a French nonchalance that was certainly appealing.
