Street Style, Paris: Ciara, Man Repeller and Miroslava Duma rock monochromatic goodies outside fashion week
See the street style looks from Paris »
As Paris Fashion Week comes inches towards a close for Spring 2014, Mother Nature has provided us with cloudy grey skies. The silver lining, however, is that that ominous shade serves as the perfect backdrop for trendsetters to flaunt their outfits du jour.
Yesterday, fashion week’s street style stars embraced two divergent colour palettes. Half of them have a penchant all things monochrome, interweaving delicate fabrics with bold, edgy prints and textures. Elena Perminova had legs for miles in a black Chanel bell dress that looked like a starry night sky in reverse. Hip hop star Ciara channeled the black and white look as well in a pretty lace get-up outside Valentino.

Katy Perry vs. Rita Ora: Who was best dressed in front row at the Chanel Spring 2014 fashion show?
See the Chanel-clad looks up-close »
In today’s best-dressed battle, two notable singing starlets duke it out for style supremacy at Chanel’s Spring 2014 show in Paris.
With fire engine lips and sleek coiffed hair, British singer Rita Ora showed her support by donning a gunmetal dress flecked with silver dust from Chanel’s fall collection. The dress was complete with sharp pin needle feathers in hues of cloudy blue, snowy white, and delicate nude while glossy leather accents made their appearance on the cuffs, pockets, and its hem. She completed her flashy outfit with a pair of matte pumps and a chrome Chanel clutch.

See the Dior Spring 2014 beauty tutorial »
With back-to-back shows spanning four international cities, it’s easy to blink and miss some of the best looks from the Spring 2014 runways. That’s why we’re taking a deep dive and offering you a step-by-step look at some of the best beauty moments, complete with tips and tricks for mastering it at home. So grab your makeup bag, sit down in front of the mirror and read on.
Dior’s Spring 2014 runway, set under a canopy of bright foliage, was meant to depict a beautiful yet eerie garden. Though Raf Simon’s striking collection featured a parade of neons, vibrant floral motifs and shimmering brocade, the makeup was arguably the most eye-catching aspect of the show. Makeup artist Pat McGrath had created variations on the theme of gold brocade. The most dramatic of her trio of looks consisted of golden and pastel blue eyes topped by gilded brows. Believe it or not, with a few tweaks this over-the-top look is very wearable. We’ll show you how to recreate a no-fuss version of this golden girl look.

Paris Fashion Week: Chanel proves fashion is fine art with a gallery style presentation for Spring 2014
See the Chanel Spring 2014 looks »
Fine art has been a trend here at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2014, but leave it to Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld to take the theme far beyond where anyone else dared. He turned the Grand Palais into a giant art gallery, where each piece on display had some reference to the creations of Mademoiselle Coco as well as real works of art.
There was an installation of two oversized Chanel 2.55 bags, one on the wall, one on the floor that guests carrying similar bags took selfies in. One canvas had a door marked Mademoiselle Prive, while another was painted with black bars echoing the trim on Chanel’s classic boucle jackets. There was also a giant Chanel No. 5 bottle with robot arms and legs.

As The New York Times’ Cathy Horyn noted in an early dispatch from Paris, “Nobody whines about the circus atmosphere, as they do in New York, or the business-as-usual humdrum of Milan. It’s all fashion here and, so far, it’s all pretty exciting.” The same can be said for the beauty looks that are coming out of the City of Light. And here are five emerging trends for Spring 2014:

Paris Fashion Week: New shapes, fabrics and more at Lanvin, Dior, Chalayan and Isabel Marant for Spring 2014
Without actually going into the showroom and touching the fabrics it’s hard to know what you are looking at sometimes here at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2014.
Some of the shiny fabrics that designer Alber Elbaz showed for Lanvin on Thursday night looked crispy and light, like a glittery silk but that’s just hoping. I had the same issue at Hussein Chalayan with velourish-looking towel dresses, and molded gowns that were fuzzy at the bodice but melded into a smooth surface everywhere else.
On the other hand, Isabel Marant’s materials were a no-brainer. There were miles of ruffled cotton for peasant tops and zippered jackets with flouncy shoulders; frayed cotton denims with raised diamond patterns, and lace mini-dresses and bra tops. Where Marant’s collection had a natural, earthy realness almost everything Elbaz did shimmered and gleamed in the most unnatural way. Paris is in the throws of a passionate love affair with reflective fabrics.
One of my favourite Paris Fashion Week pastimes is watching the Showstudio live panel discussions. What stood out during the one on Dior was how the participants kept comparing Raf Simons’ Dior to John Galliano’s Dior. Interesting that Monsieur Christian Dior was barely mentioned

Monochromatic outfits were once again the trend on day two of Paris Fashion Week. There’s nothing like a bold statement colour to stand out from the rest of the stylish crowd (and get captured by our photographer Guilhem Malissen, of course).
Pulling off the tone-on-tone ensemble is no easy task, but showgoers prove to us exactly why they are fashion week’s street style stars. Stephanie LaCava mesmerized us in an off-the-shoulder emerald green dress, while another stopped us in our tracks in a head to toe bright red ensemble. But really bringing single hue outfits to a whole new level are street stylers who mixed different prints and textures (like a leopard print jacket and patent leather skirt or a striped cropped jacket and polka dot shirt) to make monochromatic ensembles that much more chic.

Paris Fashion Week: The sportif trend invades Balenciaga, Carven and more for Spring 2014
Balenciaga and Carven for Spring 2014 »
“I wish I had these on my feet right now,” one journalist lamented, inspecting a pair of Nicholas Kirkwood sport sandals at the designer’s Spring 2014 preview. Yes you heard that right. The same designers who brought heels to new heights have discovered rubber soles and flats.
It’s all part of the sportif trend which has a grip on Europe. On day two of the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2014, the backdrop at Carven was a half-pipe and the opening soundtrack was of skateboard wheels rolling up and down. The boarding spirit appeared in colourful camouflage prints with insets of camo lace. But Carven designer Guillaume Henry’s boxy jean jackets, A-line dresses and long stiff coats didn’t look made for motion.
He’s not alone. This is Paris, after all. Not the land of Lycra.

Paris Fashion Week: The Spring 2014 wow factor at Dries Van Noten and Marco Zanini’s last collection for Rochas
Photos from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2014 »
Dries Van Noten did a very smart thing here on day one of Paris Fashion Week Spring 2014. At the end of his show, the models lined up across the hall, facing the bleachers like a firing squad. After the music died down, guests climbed down and rushed toward the girls, so they could snap, tweet and gram them, of course.
It must have felt a bit creepy to be standing with your back to a wall as a stampede of phone-wielding fashion fiends came running toward you for a close-up. But no one said modeling was easy on the nerves.
Dries loves florals. These have a vague Asian whiff and came in shapes that still seem bedroom-y. Another theme were passementerie tassels that swung from tunics that looked homespun. But it was Dries’ perma-pleated ruffles that stole the show: gold foil ones snaked over hips, or were coiled into giant hip corsages.
Metal and high gloss shine, proved to be the story of the day. The sparkles at Rochas were blinding, even without the opera-length crystal necklaces. Shapes were relatively simple—polos, short-sleeved toppers, cropped pants—but the fabrics, wow. Silver jacquard florals, reflective nude lame, crystal embroidery, and what looked like helium-filled organza ruffles. Tassels showed up here from the ankles down, with ostrich feathers sweeping away the dust bunnies in style.
