Paris Fashion Week F/W 2020 Reviews

If there is one week long fashion show that the entire world looks forward to every year, it's the Semaine des Créateurs de Mode or otherwise known as the Paris Fashion Week.

The Paris Fashion Week or PFW forms part of the "Big 4" global fashion events along with the Milan, London and New York fashion shows.

The Paris Fashion Week holds a couple of editions each year. The Autumn/Winter and the Spring/Summer editions. The latter was held this year from the 24th of February to the 3rd of March and as always it was an event full of glitz, glamour and razmataz. Enjoy this Paris Fashion Week review.

Reviews for Paris Fashion Week 2020

The PFW was awash with many fashion designers with famous labels like Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Miu Miu all presenting their wares in typical glitzy fashion. Here's a Paris Fashion Week review of the highlighted fashion designers performance at the yearly event.

• The Human Wall of Fashion History by Louis Vuitton

The 3rd of March saw the PFW come to a climax with a curious cinematic display by Louis Vuitton. During this Ready-to-wear category, there were as many as 200 people clad in eclectic fashion. Each person seemed to highlight the different eras of fashion design evolution and history.

Fashion designs from the 15th century spanning through to the 20th century were on display in the human wall of fashion history. However, runway models showcased a number of exclusive Louis Vuitton designs. These designs include loose, tiger print knee-length silk fabric dresses, pin-striped pants and multicoloured ski jackets. Models also displayed chic black leather ankle boots by Louis Vuitton.

• CC Branded Face Masks

As the coronavirus scare continues to reverberate around the world. The Paris Fashion Week was not spared the heat as many of the regular fashion editors and VIPs that would ordinarily be at the event were conspicuously absent.

However, one of the ironic inspirations from Paris Fashion win 2020 was the wearing of Chanel branded face masks by some of those guests that did show up. It was clear that the coronavirus outbreak had an effect on Chanel as their designer - Virginie Viard had a simple and low-key presentation.

Definitely a far departure from the glitzy, razmataz that the late Karl Lagerfeld (mentor and predecessor to Virginie Viard) was known for.

• Lots of Fun with Miu Miu

In contrast to Chanel, Miu Miu was somewhat of a breath of fresh air with a more lively display. With Raf Simons now hired as a co-creative director, a lot of people were curious to see what the Belgian had to offer.

Miu Miu did not disappoint with a display of brightly coloured garments, silky gowns and faux animal fur. The happy-go-lucky design style of Miu Miu was one of the standout  fashion designs at the PFW.

• '90s Making a Comeback with Saint Laurent

The '90s was an era of daring outfits and Anthony Vaccarello of Saint Laurent drew inspiration from this period with some reinventions. With sharp shoulder-padded jackets, Bralettes, latex pants and thigh-high boots making the rounds on the catwalk.

According to Vaccarello, he wanted to bring back the sexy, elegant and in his words "well-behaved" look of the '90s night-life.  In truth, it seemed to work like a charm.

• Givenchy Holds The Torch for Femininity

Flowing gowns and dresses was the theme of Givenchy's display at the PFW 2020. Claire Waight Keller emphasising the colours of red, white and black in her designs. Indeed this was a day were femininity was in full display on the catwalk.

A variety of outfits and styles were showcased. It was a day for women to be bold with stylish suits, sequins and feathers. There were even amazing accessories on show like large hats, fanciful bags and gorgeous looking sandals.
