7 style lessons from the ladies of Paris Couture Week

26th January 2018

It may be womenswear that’s being shown this Paris Fashion Week, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn some valuable life lessons from these downright ICONIC looks.

1. PURPLE AND GREEN SHOULD DEFINITELY BEEN SEEN…

You may have avoided this look at the risk of looking like Barney the Dinosaur, and whilst that is a genuine worry (even though he was thickums), Valentino turned it out with this caped number and suddenly we want to wear a cape everywhere. Even to the gym.

2. COLLAR BONE TATTOOS ARE NECESSARY

So the ones at Dior may have been temporary, but damn do they look good. The eye mask is also necessary.

3. BLACK AND WHITE = RIGHT

From the clothes to the runways themselves, monochrome never looked so chic. Imagine bringing your hookup back to this black and white surrealist Dali fantasy. To say he would be shook would be an understatement.

4. A SASSY PAIR OF SUNNIES WILL GET YOU EVERYWHERE

Hungover. At the office. Your third husband’s funeral. Slapping a bitch, pivoting on your heel and walking away. Is there anything sassy eyewear cannot do?

5. COLOUR BLOCKING IS IN…

Forget tonal beige, JP (Jean Paul, as in Gaultier), blinded us with primary shades form head to toe and it is a LOOK. Never have we ever wanted to look more like high fashion Teletubbies.
