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:

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

Street Style, Paris: 22 photos of Olivia Palermo, Man Repeller, Caroline Issa and more outside Spring 2013 fashion week

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.

“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.

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.

When Gucci sent models down the runway at its Spring 2014 show in a mix of warm jewel tones, makeup artist Pat McGrath answered the call with a metallic smoky eye in analogous shades. The collection was inspired by the unexpected cocktail of luxe sportswear and the swirling Art Nouveau illustrations of artist Erté. Bright basketball shorts and black mesh t-shirts were followed by embroidered chiffon gowns and the makeup look—quite remarkably—complemented the wide variation in looks beautifully.

Street Style, Milan: Italian It girls Chiara Ferragni, Candela Novembre and Chiara Totire outside Spring 2014 fashion week
Photography by Sophie Mhabille See the street style photos from Milan fashion week »
Will we ever get sick of prints? Judging from the latest batch of style snaps from Milan Fashion Week, it’s a definite no. Stylish attendees are consistently bringing out the loveable trend to the Italian streets. Gingham was the popular print over the weekend, with photographer Sophie Mhabille spotting one girl in a pink billowy gingham skirt and another in adorably chic flared cropped gingham pants. Two of Grazia’s It girls also caught our attention including Candela Novembre’s Kenzo eye print ensemble and Chiara Totire’s colourful lettered Au Jour Le Jour dress. Gone are the days of just a simple floral skirt.

Street Style, Milan: 13 photos of monochromatic outfits and pretty prints on day two of the Spring 2014 shows
Photography by Sophie Mhabille See the Milan street style photos »
Already noticed on A-listers in the front row, monochromatic outfits were big on the streets on day two of Milan Fashion Week Spring 2014. And not just any shade: We’re talking about bold, standout primary colours—right in line, actually, with the Max Mara Spring 2014 collection. One street style star looked stellar in head to toe red, complete with chic black accessories (including a lifelike kitty clutch!), while another rocked canary yellow pants as she gave our photographer, Sophie Mhabille, her best Kristen Stewart impression. Known for her feminine poised style, Giovanna Battaglia also embraced the monochrome look in a baby blue printed shirt and polka dot tulip skirt.
Speaking of prints (which continues to be the most popular trend), Milan’s streets were filled with a whirlwind of stylish ladies in various printed dresses and skirts—tartan, floral, gingham you name it! With the sun blazing in Milan on the official last days of summer, we’re sensing the street style stars are taking full advantage of the warmer weather and squeezing out the very last wears of their summer outfits.
