It's not often that I talk about Haute Couture on this blog, but Paris Fashion Week (among other things) got me thinking. Among the many SS14/Paris Fashion Week shows, some of my favorites were Elie Saab, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen. Although it's unlikely that I will ever be able to wear things like this in my daily life, it's okay to dream. That being said, I'm posting some of my favorite looks from the runways- and also some looks inspired by the shows. xo Katie
Elie Saab
When I think of Elie Saab, I automatically think of embellished, floaty princess dresses. Not exactly practical in daily life. This look would be good for a night out / school dance.
Marc Jacobs
I tried to tie together the Marc by Marc Jacobs and Marc Jacobs in this between the military inspired jacket, silk layers, slip on sneakers, and slouchy slacks. There were also several satin neck ties in his shows. And unless you wanted to cut your hair into the bowl cut 'do, I'd suggest just keeping your hair a bit messy and casual to go with this look.
Louis Vuitton
This was definitely my favorite runway show ever. I love anything all black and the dramatic elements just added to the quality of this show. This all black -but blue jean- outfit is inspired by the work Marc Jacobs did for Louis Vuitton. The show featured gems, glitter, feathers, etc. This flapper inspired shirt is the perfect piece for everyday. Speaking of feathers, although the headdresses were beautiful they might be a bit too over the top for everyday wear, instead just wear a simple headband with gems.
