PFW : 5 Best Spring 2015 Looks Recap
Oh Paris Fashion Week, what a whirlwind of styles to keep up with. The Spring 2015 Collections have been filling the runways with so many incredible looks, I couldn’t possibly fit separate reviews in for each show. But, I don’t want this collections to go swept under the rug and forgotten (because they are FAB!) so I thought a recap post was in order. Please, let me know how you like this style of post. I’m constantly trying to configure the best way to present runway collections to my Dream in Lace readers. Because I do work full-time, and try to have a bit of a life, the struggle to keep a balance is real! Do you prefer more full reviews, or are overview/recaps better for your schedule too?
Also, if you’re not already, definitely Follow my Pinterest board with the Spring/Summer 2015 Collections. I’m in the habit of pinning while the collections religiously, so you can always find looks there!
I’m really LOVING the variety of looks for Spring 2015 on the Paris runways. There’s literally something for every single day, every single mood, every single event, etc. And being somewhat of a fashion chameleon myself, I love being able to mix things up from day-to-day.
PFW : Undercover Spring 2015
After lounging around most of the day marathoning old episodes of Sons of Anarchy, I was due for a laugh. Not to say the Jax Teller story isn’t entertaining, it’s just perhaps not as light-hearted as Undercover and the Spring 2015 Collection that is a bit coo-coo. After all, I LIVE for coo-coo fashion, it’s what makes the fashion world spin round. The glue that holds it all together. And, while this collection is gorgeous in its own right, there are some looks that I guaranteed will have you a:) confused B:) chuckle!
The collection has a few running themes, the largest being a black swan. There is a large selection of all-black ensembles paired with (quite) beautiful black angel wings. They remind me of season 2 American Horror Story Asylum with the angel of death. Albeit, they’re definitely made much cheerier than you would imagine by pairing them with 60’s house dresses made of Spring-y pastels.
PFW : Lanvin Gets Moody for Spring 2015 Collection
If clothes could be a moody, sarcastic teenager – they’d be Lanvin‘s Spring 2015 Collection. True to form, Lanvin’s runway was back-lit and eery, setting the tone for a dark grungy collection perfectly. Leather, lace, tulle and pearl. A recipe for elegance, right? Not quite so. Yes, there’s lace, but it’s ratty instead of delicate. Yes, there are pearls, but they’re worn with metal for edge. Each element of this collection comes loaded with attitude and eye-rolling, sure to fit the inner grunge Goddess in all of us! I can hear the Nirvana playing from here!
PFW : Nina Ricci Spring 2015 Collection
When it comes to designer collections that strike my fancy, Nina Ricci is near the very top of my list. There’s something so simple about the way Peter Copping designs clothes, and yet with a fine attention to detail. For the Spring 2015 Collection, shown at Paris Fashion Week, that established lady-like poise returned, this time with a landscape of color. The silhouettes were loose and makeup was romantic. Biggest statement of all was the jewelry – with oversized gemstones eclectically paired together for the ultimate statement pieces. It’s perhaps, the loudest Nina Ricci has been in quite some time.
PFW : BREAKING NEWS at Rochas Spring 2015
Breaking News: I interrupt your daily routine to bring you some groundbreaking news from Paris Fashion Week, (and no it does not involve a Kardashian!). Rochas has debuted some new, revolutionary technology that is sure to change all of our lives: the boob seat belt. Ladies, fear no more that life will put your girls in harms way. Now they were stay securely strapped to your chest, no matter what storm they weather.
OBVIOUSLY this life-changing achievement is sure to garner a lot of critical acclaim, so…as your runway scout I felt it is my solemn duty to bring this joyous news to your attention. I mean, it’s not every day – season or even year, that something this huge comes along. It’s bringing safety measures to high fashion – an issue we do not see dealt with enough. I can only hope Rochas’ boob seat belt will pave the way for more fashion designers to incorporate safety tactics into clothing designs. Might I suggest some personal items for first aid? Gauze skirts and band aid bandeau tops? Dual side airbags sewn into the torso of a gown to prevent injury when falling? Really, the sky is the limit!

There is no word yet as to when these boob seat belts will be available to the general public. Nor has Rochas disclosed any information about testing and the effectiveness of the belts. But, it is still the dawn of a new day and these should hopefully be readily available come next spring.
Till then, we’ll just have to live in fear without the guaranteed safety of Rochas’ thoughtful design. Good luck!
