Classical Lines: The silhouettes at the PFW were conventional and straight to the point: simple, flowing, showcasing women’s natural curves (some ruffles at Isabel Marant). I will sound biased but Eli Saab was once more the winner in this category, in my humble opinion (how humble am I when I pat myself in the back, huh?) .
At Eli Saab
At Chloe
At Miu Miu
At Emmanuel Ungaro
Sissi’s Notes:
- Return of tweed blazers and loose coats at Chanel and Miu-Miu
- It is OK to cover up
- Go ahead and tuck-in a top with your skirt or pants 😉
African/Middle Eastern/Azteq Accents: Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen and Valentino showcased lots of non-Western accents in clothing, accessories and hair styles…though I was a little confused at McQueen with ancient Roman gladiator-like outfits…
At Valentino
At Alexander McQueen
Sissi’s note: Try the strong middle line hairstyle with braid…so cute! Oh, and open up to other non-western style, very pretty!
Fresh Faced Makeup: the trend was minimalist or simple make up (OK, not at Chanel obviously…).
Sissi’s note: return of the simple eye liner and rouge lips 😉
Pretty Shoulders: Lots of shoulders out from sleeveless to one shoulder, to sheer lace for a strapless illusion. Love it! Oh, of course, legs were to display as well…legs and abs and everything in between.

Sissi’s note: Subtle, less is more.
