Fun and Fashion
Stripes, and Ruffles, and Frills, oh my!
Islamic Inspiration in Layers
Paris Designer Sonia Rykiel pulled out all the stops for her 40th anniversaire show. It was a bold mix of fun and feathers comfortable along side chic clean tailoring, all with a ‘joie de vivre‘ that befitted the celebration. There were a range of techniques on show that would benefit Muslimah’s. From frills and loose layers to relaxed tailoring that concealed body shape, not particularly simple but definitely beautiful. Adjustments would definitely have to be made to make them hijab friendly but I love the concepts.
Body cover ups: use structured tailoring or frilly layers to disguise body shape
Encore
As a little extra the audience (and a surprised Sonia Rykiel) were treated to 30 looks designed by some of the biggest names in fashion. That sounds like the kind of surprise I could get on board with!
Pre-Fall selection: Headscarves and all there are some beautiful shapes
Pre-Fall Collection
The Pre-Fall collection was more toned down and wearable than the previous season but they still retain a sense of fun. With the colour palette much simpler they really packed a punch with the tomato red. A perfect morning after to the party of the Spring Summer collection.
