PARIS A/W 2015 HAUTE COUTURE FASHION WEEK

Street Style at Paris Haute Couture AW 2015

We recently had the rare opportunity to visit Paris to witness
the amazing scenes of the inner city gripped by the presences of 

high fashion society. The glitterati descended not only in numerous 

black cars and vans, but some even strolled down actual streets 

because of the marvellous hot and sunny weather presently griping 

most lands around the globe.

Actresses, models, fashion editors, stylists, elite fashion bloggers 

and the outright stunningly good looking assembled for the sole 

purpose of catching a glimpse of the latest wares by the titans 

of the fashion world. Chanel, Viktor & Rolf, Zuhair Murad, Elie Saab,

 Maison Martin Margiela, all names familiar and the many that are not.

 To see a show at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week is a once in 

a lifetime dream for many. We sadly were not that lucky to attain 

that dream just yet, but as someone once said, I think it might 

of been the legendary Bill Cunningham, the man in blue to you,
 

"The best fashion show has always been on the street"

We're all here because we all believe in those words. 

 

Some might argue it might not be as exciting but many 

would disagree, as would we and say you can watch an

 Elie Saab dress on the catwalk under the lights shimmering 

and shining like the stars, but there is just as much magic in 

watching that same dress as it was designed and intended, 

worn not by a model but on woman who wants to wear it

 for more than 20 seconds. To see a woman walking down the 

center of a street, the dress floating and blowing in the wind 

all in daylight with cars stopping, heads turning from men, 

women and children, all with a singular vision. The sight of 

real beauty in a special moment.

Our visit to Paris to bring you street style imagery from the 

Haute couture season for the first time, we can thoroughly say 

was a complete success. Many images were shot, many sights 

were seen and people met. Over the next few weeks, 

we'll be sharing some of those images and experiences 

with you all. First up.

the Viktor & Rolf show in a Ukiyo e print dress from Harlem Shuffle with
