Fall 2014 Paris Fashion Week is finally here!
Below, I have picked out my personal favourite front row and runway looks
feel free to share with me your thoughts and your favourite looks from the Fall '14 collections!
1. Atelier Versace
Dress or trousers? Why not both!
Jennifer Lopez was spotted wearing this hybrid of a 'tress' front row of the first of the Haute Couture shows in Paris for Fashion Week.
The singer stunned in this white strapless hybrid gown; the skirt-half of the dress is made out of white silky fabric, which attracts more attention to the trouser part, which had been embellished with intricate white sequins, making it the main feature of this new creation.
I love the striking white colour as I feel like it makes her complexion appear even more beautiful and the two gold straps on the hip add so much to this hybrid gown and I am all about gold and white!
The gold straps featured ultimately acted as the signature pieces for the collection.
The only thing that I wasn't so keen on was the pocket on the dress side, but I couldn't even care less right now since I have been so blown away by this look.
I felt like the collection was simple, yet made a huge statement; through the bold colour palette and the styles.
Favourites from the collection:
2. Giambattista Valli
So this whole thing has me doubting my spelling abilities, but other than that, I am head over heals in love with this little number worn by Alexia Niedzielski. This beautifully crafted dress appears to have been covered by soft shades of blue pastel coloured embellishments; that differ in size and in shape, along with hints of purple and orange crystal-like embellishments, that give this dress the perfect spring hues. It almost reminds me of one of Zuhair Murad's designs from his Spring 14 Couture collection (or am I just reaching?)
The black tulle on the top and bottom further compliments this dress, making it the perfect length. It is definitely something that I could see myself wearing (if I could, that is), because as much as I love floor-grazing, train back gowns, my 5 foot and a half self has a hard time pulling them off, so I tend to settle for the shorter option.
The following was the only one that caught my attention in a positive light in this collection; it looks like it's come straight out of a fairy tale, all the way from the floral bodice to the puffed out, ball gown-like skirt and the white tulle. Perfect.
3. Ulyana Sergeenko's electrifying Fall 2014 collection began with a bang and a hint of geometry, as she looked back at Russia's revolutionary period through the setting and the looks - as much as was possible, as I did not see that link when it came to the silk and lace lingerie dresses and the full bustier gowns.
The two looks below were definitely my favourites from the whole collection; the perfectly crafted coat featuring delicate sequin embroideries on the collar and on the end of the sleeves, with the fur at the bottom and the black leather leotard with white and grey embellished detailing just make this whole collection for me.
4. Elie Saab
Stars are bound to look good if they're wearing anything designed by Elie Saab, and spotted front row, was Lebanese singer Elissa, who traveled to Paris to show her support for the designer. She came out wearing this elegant white mini dress from Saab's Spring/Summer 2014 Ready-to-Wear collection that featured lace over a white under garment and 3/4 lace sleeves; without a shadow of a doubt a favourite of mine, minus the pockets!
Every season, I eagerly wait for the Elie Saab collection to hit the runway, and I have not been disappointed to date, making it difficult to choose a favourite, as he continues to make dresses fit for royalty through his distinctive designs, which seem to be typical of the him, yet he still manages to impress. All the way from the enchanting gradients and colour palette to the heavenly crafted intricate embroideries and embellishments with the cabochons, sequins and pearls to the fox fur add-ons.
Elie Saab simply cannot go wrong!
5. Zuhair Murad
Fashion inspired by architecture? Recipe for perfection.
As per usual, I had the hardest time choosing a favourite out of a Zuhair Murad collection and I now almost feel like I should have made a separate post for this collection, alone. My expectations are always high when it comes to this designer, and he never fails to impress.
The designs are guaranteed to provide any woman wearing it with a tremendously feminine look through the styles and the colours, and that I feel is the main focus and the epitome of his designs in general. The pleat twists over the hip and the abstract webbed effect in crystal embellishment contributed a huge amount to the beauty of this collection, along with the monochrome opening looks and the majority of the colours included, except for the pink - it was a little too pink for my liking, quite an eyesore.
I feel like whatever comment I make regarding this collection will not do it enough justice as it very much speaks for itself and it speaks volumes, and the more I look at them the more I love them , so I'm just going to leave it at that...

Another look that I loved was Chinese actress, Helen Yao's, who wore this baby pink coloured knee-length dress with long sleeves from the designer's Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The dress featured intricate pink embellishments all throughout and there's no denying that Elie Saab can make any woman look graceful.
Elie Saab simply cannot go wrong!
