Runway Roundup: PFW Spring 2013

Lanvin

Lanvin consistently puts on stunners, and their was no exception to be found this time! Really, not a flaw. Their spring showing featured gorgeous embellished jumpsuits, all leather looks, and of course the pops of color at the end for the mostly all black collection came from the structured dresses that Mr. Elbaz is known for. Plus, we got to see Kasia rock that black one-piece like no other!

Dior

As usual, well-structured and feminine looks made it down the runway at Dior. However, I will have to admit to not being sold on everything this time (a section of three dresses came down that were just too reminiscent of an 80's prom), still the floral printed skirts and pleated coat dresses made up for all that.

Balmain

It was all about structured shoulders, raffia dresses, and leather pieces (it is Balmain after all). The collection was all very late 80s - early 90s, which in my opinion, did not necessarily work everywhere, but when it was good...it was really good. Plus, I love a good cage sandal, so Balmain got me again this time.

Chalayan

 Chalayan this season had sleek designs and well structured pieces. The looks were simple in the best way possible - the way that it makes you appreciate the craftsmanship of the clothes. The majority of the collection was white, with a few pops of color here and there, until the end when a section filled with graphic prints arrived that was very much welcomed. Chalayan honestly is not always one of my favorites, but this collection was just too beautiful to pass up.
