    Paris Spring 2014: Miu Miu, Hermès, Vionnet, Moncler Gamme Rouge

    by The Daily Front Row

    Miu Miu: Miuccia Prada must be predicting cold temperatures for Spring/Summer—her runway was focused mainly on outerwear, and every look was paired with knit tights. The vibe was the swinging Sixties, but leave it to Miuccia to make it look particularly quirky and cool. There were lots of color-blocked skirt suits and coats that opened the show like a soft yellow and blue wool topper worn with a turquoise neoprene mini, and a beige top and white knit tights and platform Mary Janes. So often at Miu Miu and Prada it’s the styling that gives you new ideas as much as the clothing. Meanwhile, some of the face prints seen at Prada made it over to Miu Miu. like an art deco visage rendering on a black pleated long-sleeve dress, or details like a cat’s face hiding amongst flowers on a pink coat. It’s these slightly offbeat details that have girls like Lena Dunham perched front row. And then, there were those tall lace up boots that will have everyone lusting. They came in an earthy brown and autumn orange, and looked cool over knee-high stockings. Plus, there were ruched prom dresses and sequined cocktail numbers with tassels. And naturally, fur made an appearance, in lavender, turquoise, and lipstick red coats, all of which got accented with neoprene. We wish we didn’t have to wait till Spring!

    Paris Spring 2014: Christian Dior, Roland Mouret, Sonia Rykiel, Maison Martin Margiela

    by The Daily Front Row

    Christian Dior: The famed Musée Rodin was transformed into an upside down greenhouse for Christian Dior, with long colorful strands of flowers hanging from the ceiling; a majestic background for yet another outstanding collection from Raf Simons. The neckpieces mirrored dripping fauna, encircling the necks of the mods, with glistening baubles bleed into jackets, dresses, and tops. Always light years ahead of his contemporaries, Simons turns trends into his own entirely. Cutouts were fashioned at the hip or created by loose weaves on a crop top.

    Menswear Spring 2014: Gucci

    by The Daily Front Row

    Gucci: If you’ve ever questioned that man leggings could be a viable trend, Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2014 presentation will persuade you to cast those doubts aside. The tapered equestrian-style pants were used by creative director Frida Giannini to create a clean silhouette, allowing voluminous knit sweaters and large leather tees to provide a sense of balance. The muted color palette that has washed over the past few Gucci collections was adorned by dark florals that decorated silk tees, suit jackets, and pants alike. A printed suit in taupe and white accented with a floral tee and finished off with crisp leather sneakers is the ideal uniform for dining alfresco
