Saint Laurent channelled three battle axes during Paris Fashion Week
Designers love to channel an icon. However typically such icons are restricted to the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monore… well if you are a student designer with a taste for basicness, that is! Meet the new icons to channel from the Paris fashion week circuit.
Saint Laurent Does Joan Collins via Pat Butcher and Bet Lynch.
Why channel one soap icon when you can channel two, with a penchant for animal print and a statement earring! Throw Joan Collins into the mix in all her shoulder padded Dynasty glory and you have Anthony Vaccarello’s first collection for Saint Laurent described to a t!
Chloe Does Big Bird
Sesame Street is missing character! Chloe tackled the colour of next year, yellow in the most fabulous and over blown ways.
Dior Does Madonna Circa Die Another Day
In one of Madonna’s strongest acting roles to date, the singer played a fencing coach in James Bond’s Die Another Day. A real classic for the ages, I am sure you will agree. Well Dior’s new Creative Director certainly enjoyed Madge’s fencing turn if her runway show was anything to go by.
Nina Ricci Does Beatle Juice
Stripes for spring? Groundbreaking, right?! Nina Ricci showcased the boldest of monochrome stripes and in the process evoked Michael Keaton’s star turn in Beatle Juice. Part prisoner vibes too. Chic.
Jacquemus Does Monet
Monet has been inspiring thousands and lining the walls of even more old people’s homes for a while. Jacquemus brought the man himself to the fore on the opening day of Paris Fashion Week with a collection based on the wears of the Impressionist masters. Just wear an oversized straw hat with EVERYTHING come next summer. Note to self.
Elie Saab Does Cher
All together now, ‘if I could turn back time, if I could find a way…’ Cher seemed to take the spotlight on Elie Saab’s runway with a flurry of black sequins and many a sheer panel.
