Paris Haute Couture Spring officially started on 01/27/25. When I view fashion shows- I put myself as a stylist. And I ask myself, “Who would wear this piece, where would they wear it? and will it be on the best dress list?” Then I make my decision accordingly. These are my selections from the collections that attract my personal admiration.

SCHIAPARELLI

Elegance, elegance, elegance. I’ll keep this simple – as I would love you to check out the piece Daniel Roseberry wrote on Schiaparelli.com/en I love the fact the designer had the time to write about the collection and connect with the reader/viewer. This collection called Icarus, reminded me of the silhouette’s I studied in my college Fashion History class of the 1920’s and 30’s. Away with the over stalked clothing as less is more. The colors worn were inspired by ribbons that were hidden away when Germany invaded France. The use of butter, saffron, very light colors are appealing to the eye. A round of applause is needed for the ateliers as each of the garments down the runway were created in a seamless effect – truly remarkable.

GEORGES HOBEIKA

STUNNING- You should hear me behind this screen, “WOW-how beautiful!” Let’s talk about the embroidery the craftmanship- the attention to details Georges Hobeika has done in this collection. Standing ovation on my behalf! My selection had to be done in two because that’s how much garments I can see styled on a celebrity. Let me tell you, if you aren’t aware Beyonce, Lily collins, Cardi B are a few to name that have worn Georges Hobeika. A little backstory about the designer, he is a Lebanese fashion designer and has been showcasing his collections in Paris for over a decade. As I was researching on this collection, I was taken back to learn that this collection was a tribute to his mother and grandmother who passed away last year. If you look at the beginning of the runway you can notice 3 model’s wearing running mascara down their face. The color choices began with black much like a somber feel, then transition to colors of blues, greens, reds, purple, pink and then to an abundance of refreshing lights of golds, silvers to white. This collection spoke without words and its impact was heavenly.
