The fall couture runways from Paris are held around the first week of July, and they are all about Haute Couture. Held
from July 5th to July 9th this year, it is a time when
the Paris runways shed all inhibitions and the designers get the free will to
create attires that do not have to be commercially viable. 2015 runway trends
are all about these unrestrained dreams of the shackle breaking designer.
Let’s witness 2015 runway trends of
the Fall Winter Paris Haute Couture week through the shows of some of the leading fashion
designers:
5th July:
Atelier Versace – Donatella Versace went surprisingly soft and
romantic for this fall couture 2015. The overall collection had a disintegrated
look. Blacks, greys, softer hues like mauve, light purple, sage and blue, and
some printed combinations in chiffon swept the runway with frayed hemlines and
floral headbands. The signature hard silhouettes of Versace were still visible
through structured corsets under chiffon and chain-mail blended with chiffon. 2015
runway trends of Versace brought in the un-veiling of its tough look with softer fluid
fabrics and colours.
6th July:
Christian Dior – Raf Simons took inspiration from Bosch’s painting
‘The garden of earthly delights’ to put up a heavenly show for fall couture
2015. Simons brought contrasts to the show; he presented pristine white angelic
light flowy fabrics and demonic flared and caped black ensembles.
Sleeves were a highlight in the show with large overhanging bell structures, trim highlighting or the contrasting one sided sleeve. The Dior 2015 runway trends also included side-baring dresses fastened with jewellery links.

Ralph & Russo – The British fashion house as usual designed its
show for the woman buyers leaving out the eccentricity from the styles. The
soothing colors, interesting layers, tiers, intricately designed sheer and
floral appliques were the 2015 runway trends of Ralph & Russo.
7th July:
Chanel – The show was set against the backdrop of a casino. The
interesting thing about how Karl Lagerfeld gave a twist to the 2015 runway trends
was the use of 3-D laser computer printers to create flawless quilted mesh
jackets.
The show was more about jackets that went from boxy to form hugging, short waist lengths to longer loose knee lengths. The jackets were paired with skirts. The second half of the Chanel show was all about “evening” with more feminine outfits.

Giorgio Armani Prive- The rightly called ‘Shocking’, the show did not
shy from the use of colours and used hot pinks with blues and greens against the black canvas. Velvet black
fabrics and frayed shaggy silhouettes with shimmer and glamour were all put out
by Armani for 2015 runway trends.
8th July:
Elie Saab - The Lebanese designer’s line showed his signature style
of long gowns with crystals, sequins, appliques and bead embellishments. Apart
from the runway scraping dresses, this fall couture, he also incorporated
voluminous black gowns with prints. Overall Elie’s show was a profusion of
golden sparkle and tiaras.
Fendi - Under Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi presented its first ever
couture collection at Paris this year which comprised of fur mostly, obviously
angering the animal activists. “Haute Fourrure” as the collection was called,
it was a monochromatic display of mostly blacks, black and whites, greys,
browns and pastel pinks.
The Italian luxury fashion house displayed floor length jackets, short jackets and capes with furry stoles. Most of the jackets displayed a highlight flower or feather applique. Fendi brought fur on the list of 2015 runway trends.
