Day Three of Paris Fashion Week saw some of the biggest names on the schedule hit the runway – beginning with Christian Dior’s equestrian themed, designed by the notorious John Galliano. Brown leather capes were teamed with pink chiffon dresses and knee high boots – with tweed pencil skirts, mohair jackets and baker boy capes all lending the collection a rural feel.
Isabel Marant centered her collection around casual fifties staples – with models wearing calf length denims, tie up shirts and faded jackets teamed with cat eye effect make up and high pony tails.
Vivienne Westwood was typically eccentric, wrapping her model in oversized blankets, with garish tights and high top trainers. Smeared make up, cartoonish crowns and disheveled hair completed the sexy and messy look.
Lanvin showed a minimalist collection of clean silhouettes, stretched fabrics and roomy shoulders. Stone coloured dresses were accessorised with rock crystral jewellery.
Maison Martin Margiela showed a twisted and exaggerated collection of padded jackets and chunky knits. Pencil skirts, peacoats and round toed heels added a feminine touch.
Yohji Yamamoto closed the day with a conceptual and wearable collection of block colours, deconstructed shapes and bold volumes.
A black wedding dress closed the show, along with asymmetric coats in shades of ivory, navy and black.
