Paris Fashion Week FW19-20 Overview
Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers a first look at the latest
collections from the top designers exhibiting at Fall Winter 2019-20’s
Paris Fashion Week.
The Trendstop catwalk team give FashionUnited readers an exclusive insight
into the best designer showcases and fashion extravaganzas to hit the Paris
runways. The final works of fashion giant, Karl Lagerfeld cut through the
sombre mood with a dash of playful frivolity in a snow-covered landscape.
Stella McCartney tackled environmental concerns with a thoughtful
collection that made use of recycled materials and plant-based fabric
alternatives. At Givenchy, the royal connection was on show with the modern
English aristocracy providing the house’s seasonal muse. Our comprehensive
catwalk show coverage, dedicated reports and accompanying galleries
evaluate each trend’s commercial value and longevity, giving you the best
possible basis for your decision making.
This week Trendstop present key looks from these three Paris collections.
Looking to the future was a thread that ran across the shows, from saving
the planet to the modernisation and merging of English heritage to the
future direction of a great fashion house having lost its iconic figure
head.
Chanel
Snow-capped mountains provided the backdrop for Karl Lagerfeld’s grand
finale at Chanel. Taking the steps of an alpine hostelry to a tinkling
icicle-like soundtrack, models were resplendent in deftly tailored wide
pleat trousers, organza ruffed blouses and embroidered Nordic sweaters.
Tulle “snowballs” playfully adorning the model’s hair completed an
uplifting spectacle that honoured Lagerfeld’s impact on the industry.

Stella McCartney
Despite the very Parisian surroundings of a chandelier-lit Opera, Stella
McCartney headed to Sumatra and the designer’s focus on its delicate and
endangered ecosystem. Backing a campaign to protect Indonesia’s
rainforests, McCartney showed sustainable viscose, upcycled archive fabrics
sustainable embroidery and natural rubber soled boot that tied the
collection to the cause.

Givenchy
Aristocracy bringing a new chic sensibility to the urban world was the
inspiration behind Clare Waight-Keller’s latest collection for Givenchy as
fluid tailoring, jewelled lapels and pleating made their way down the
runway. The collection also confirmed several emerging trends for the
FW19/20 season with tiny bags, exaggerated shoulders and just above the
ankle hemlines on display.
