The Best Looks from Fall 2015 Couture - Runway Trends

The fall couture runways from Paris are held around the first week of July, and they are all about Haute Couture. Held from July 5th to July 9th this year, it is a time when the Paris runways shed all inhibitions and the designers get the free will to create attires that do not have to be commercially viable. 2015 runway trends are all about these unrestrained dreams of the shackle breaking designer.

Let’s witness 2015 runway trends of the Fall Winter Paris Haute Couture week through the shows of some of the leading fashion designers:

5th July: 



Atelier Versace – Donatella Versace went surprisingly soft and romantic for this fall couture 2015. The overall collection had a disintegrated look. Blacks, greys, softer hues like mauve, light purple, sage and blue, and some printed combinations in chiffon swept the runway with frayed hemlines and floral headbands. The signature hard silhouettes of Versace were still visible through structured corsets under chiffon and chain-mail blended with chiffon. 2015 runway trends of Versace brought in the un-veiling of its tough look with softer fluid fabrics and colours.

6th July:



Christian DiorRaf Simons took inspiration from Bosch’s painting ‘The garden of earthly delights’ to put up a heavenly show for fall couture 2015. Simons brought contrasts to the show; he presented pristine white angelic light flowy fabrics and demonic flared and caped black ensembles.

Sleeves were a highlight in the show with large overhanging bell structures, trim highlighting or the contrasting one sided sleeve. The Dior 2015 runway trends also included side-baring dresses fastened with jewellery links.

Ralph & Russo – The British fashion house as usual designed its show for the woman buyers leaving out the eccentricity from the styles. The soothing colors, interesting layers, tiers, intricately designed sheer and floral appliques were the 2015 runway trends of Ralph & Russo.

7th July:

Chanel – The show was set against the backdrop of a casino. The interesting thing about how Karl Lagerfeld gave a twist to the 2015 runway trends was the use of 3-D laser computer printers to create flawless quilted mesh jackets.

The show was more about jackets that went from boxy to form hugging, short waist lengths to longer loose knee lengths. The jackets were paired with skirts. The second half of the Chanel show was all about “evening” with more feminine outfits.

Giorgio Armani Prive- The rightly called ‘Shocking’, the show did not shy from the use of colours and used hot pinks with blues and greens against the black canvas. Velvet black fabrics and frayed shaggy silhouettes with shimmer and glamour were all put out by Armani for 2015 runway trends.

Fendi - Under Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi presented its first ever couture collection at Paris this year which comprised of fur mostly, obviously angering the animal activists. “Haute Fourrure” as the collection was called, it was a monochromatic display of mostly blacks, black and whites, greys, browns and pastel pinks.

The Italian luxury fashion house displayed floor length jackets, short jackets and capes with furry stoles. Most of the jackets displayed a highlight flower or feather applique. Fendi brought fur on the list of 2015 runway trends.
