Sinopsis Sinetron Putri Yang Ditukar episode 69 dan 70

Prabu menyuruh Amira untuk tetap melanjutkan kuliahnya. Amira menolak, karena ia tidak mau melakukan apa yang disuruh Prabu. Amira tidak mau membuat orang tuanya terluka, kalau misal Amira menerima bantuan Prabu. Amira mreninggalkan Prabu. Amira merasa sedih berpisah dengan Prabu, tapi Amira tidak boleh sedih karena ia masih mempunyai orang tua.


Prabu meminta Zahira untuk membujuk Amira agar mau kuliah. Zahira membujuk Amira, tetapi Amira menolak dengan alasan yang sama.

Zahira mengatakan pada Prabu kalau bujukannya tidak berhasil dan Amira tetap menolak. Zahira mengatakan Amira bisa saja mau kuliah asal biayanya itu berasal dari beasiswa bukan dari Prabu. Zahira mengatakan pihak kampus tidak bisa memberikan beasiswa, karena saat ini kampus yang dikelola oleh ibunya Rizki itu sedang terancam bangkrut.

Prabu masih kepikiran Amira. Prabu berkeras agar Amira bisa melanjutkan kuliah, karena kuliah itu sangat penting untuk masa depan Amira.

Prabu menemui Rizki. Prabu menawari kerja sama untuk menyatukan perusahaan Prabu dan Perusahaan Rizki, agar perusahaan Rizki bisa pulih kembali. Prabu berpikir kalau missal perusahaan Rizki sudah membaik itu artinya pihak kampus bisa mendanai beasiswa untuk Amira kuliah. Prabu menyuruh Rizki untuk mempersiapkan proposal untuk penggabungan perusahaannya.

Rizki sangat senang dan ia masih tidak percaya kalau missal Prabu mau menolongnya. Rizki tidak begitu saja percaya pada Prabu yang bilang itu adalah karena Zahira yang bilang padanya. Rizki yakin sekali ada alasan lain. Rizki heran, kenapa Prabu akhir – akhir ini jadi berubah baik, termasuk pada Amira. Padahal dulu Prabu sangat membenci Amira.

Hermès


It was Jean Paul Gaultier's final parade around the Hermès ring this season, and the designer went back to the house roots for it. Turning up the equestrian heritage to full volume, JPG's own legacy touch arrived through masterful tailoring and an expert handling of the signature Hermès leathers.
The look: Equestrian dominatrix with a hint of Argentinian horse power
Silhouette: Expertly tailored
Key items: A heavy emphasis on tailoring, with masculine-toned suits with pleat-front fluid wide-leg pants and abbreviated jackets. An abundance of signature leatherwear, with secondskin pants, shorts - either loose and rolled or cuffed jodhpur-style - waistcoats, corsets and girdles, and several blazers including an innovative translucent crocodile option. A navy suede mac, a heavy-gauge sweater dress, T-shirt-style tops, leather or suede panelled cardigans, jodhpur-patched treggings and jodhpur-style bandeau jumpsuits, an unstructured shirt-like four-pocket safari jacket, haltergowns with sheer mousseline capes for evening
Colour: White, black, grey, sandy neutrals, tan, orange, navy blue and a single shot of sage greenFabric & knit: Leather, suede, a unique transparent crocodile, silk, cashmere wools, heavy knits, chiffon, mousseline

Accessories: Strappy body harnesses, horse-bit belts, belts fashioned our of long whips, gaucho hats, stacked enamel bracelets, mini Birkin bags hanging from bracelets, wicker Birkin bag


Louis Vuitton


Marc Jacobs first hinted that the 70s was his decade of choice with his eponymous show in New York earlier this season. For Louis Vuitton, he brought 70s disco to Paris, by way of the decadent 20s and with a playful dose of Orientalism, which made for a stellar show on the final day of Fashion Week. 
The look: Studio 54 relocates to 1920s China
Silhouette: Long and lean 70s shapes
Key items: The 1920s references arrived as playful tier-fringed flapper dresses, while cheongsams and Mandarin-collared satin pantsuits, halter-tops and coats added an Oriental flavour. But it was 70s disco that underpinned the collection, with open-plunge semi-sheer glitter knit tops and square-cut T-shaped tops teamed with long high-waisted flat-front pencil skirts, long knitted tube dresses - some with thigh-high splits - halter-gowns, a spaghetti-strapped silk jumpsuit and a series of wrap-skirts, dresses and tops
Colour: Colour-blocked pops of violet, fuchsia, turquoise, sunshine yellow and orange, with black, white, gold and glitter metallics
Fabric & knit: Satin duchesse, lurex-shot glitter knits, LV-monogrammed lace, silk jersey, tweed, mercerised cotton, crinkle-pressed satin, semi-sheer knits, heavy-gauge knit
Print & pattern: An iris floral in all-over scale-mix repeat (red on blue) or placement (pink on black); colour-blocking edged in black trim; animal-head placements that morph into all-over animal stripe
Details & trims: Sequinned giraffe, tiger and zebra heads on heavy knits, black edging, beaded fringing, Mandarin collars and Oriental-style frogging, cutaway necklines, large square patch pockets
Footwear: Skinny-strapped sandals with skinny heels and no platform
Accessories: Clutch bags with long silk-fringe tassels, patent colour-blocked clutch bags, long chain-handled shoulder bags with contrast-colour piping, lace fans, long silk-fringe tassel earrings, wide sequin sash belts with popper-stud rear fastenings


Miu Miu


Lolita-style subversive sex appeal has been the leitmotif for Prada's little-sister line over the past few seasons, and it has carried the label to a cult-like success. But as if rejecting all that, this season Miuccia Prada took a scathing look at the current obsession with fame, and it resulted in a kind of anti-glamour statement that unfortunately brought with it a kind of anti-desirability. 
The look: Anti-glamour
Silhouette: Bulky top halves and a demure knee-length
Key items: The long-sleeved, knee-length satin dress played out in repeat throughout the collection - some arriving plain and belted, others featuring pleated panels or topped with bulky oversized zip-through leather jackets, which swamped the awkward-looking models. Other key pieces included sleeveless satin shell tops with shell-shaped cutout yokes, and knee-length kilts with two wide leather buckle straps. There were also box-pleated skirts, simple cotton dresses, and dresses with T-shirt-shaped tops and leather skirts
Colour: Royal blue, poppy red, neon yellow, black and white, with gold and silver metallic leathers
Fabric & knit: Satin, slicked leather, cotton
Print & pattern: Stars were the mot du jour and arrived as overblown off-centre placements, a constellation-effect all-over pattern and a diminutive repeat; a monochrome snake climbing a sparse tree branch and a swan; a Clarice Cliff-style tree; and a deadly-looking lotus flower
Details & trims: Irregular leather star and lotus appliqués, sliced colour-blocking, neat pleats and bow-pleated insert panels, a bobble-headed fringe, star-shaped buttons, cutout yokes
Footwear: Closed-toe heels with double or triple straps
Accessories: Super-skinny waist belts in neon leather, mid-size clutch bags

Kenzo


Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Kenzo label, current designer Antonio Marras opened with his summer 2011 collection, which focused on Japanese-influenced layering and signature prints before closing with a finale of heritage Kenzo pieces. 
The look: Breezy summer dressing
Silhouette: Draped layers
Key items: Layering was the motif for dressing, with tiered tunic tops, baggy pyjama pants and unstructured bed jackets a key combination. Elsewhere there were trapeze-line tent dresses in maxi and midi-lengths, vest tops with low-scooping necklines exposing satin bra tops, panelled long-line sleeveless coats, cropped knit tops, cardigans and sarouel shorts
Colour: Salmon pink, aqua, lilac, cream and white, with a final passage of Japanese indigo blues
Fabric & knit: Silk, cotton, linen, satin, jersey, chiffon, denim, drapey knits, Fair Isle
Print & pattern: A key part of any Kenzo collection, this season saw a typical patchworking of prints, including micro freehand stripes, a mosaic-tile geometric, linear cross-hatching, informal gingham checks, a Hokusai wave motif and an abundance of florals - stylised all-over florals, sparse ditsy florals, a chintzy wild-rose bloom, silhouette florals, and signature Kenzo-style forals
Details & trims: Drawcord ruching with aglet-tipped trainer (US: sneaker) laces as the strings, floral appliqués on sheers, floral beadwork and embroideries, baseball jacket-style collars, unbuttoned henleys
Footwear: Platform geta-style sandals with padded strap


Valentino


Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri have proved themselves to be the assured custodians of the Valentino legacy, magically managing to encapsulate the master's light tough in a collection full of barely there ethereal dresses and ladylike suits, which had a new youthful feel to them. 
The look: Chic ingenue
Silhouette: Short, youthful and weightless
Key items: A slightly higher waistline transformed chic little dresses and tailleurs into a new youthful silhouette, worked with undulating bias ruffles everywhere, from tracing the front of a shirtdress, to a shoulder flounce, or skimming the front of a shorts suit. Lace blouses, organza tunics and lace skirts only added to the lighthearted feel
Colour: Black and white with smoke grey, a whisper-light pale cappuccino, sand, watermelon and a shot of signature Valentino red
Fabric & knit: Weightless silk chiffons and organzas, delicate lace, ribbon lace, embroidered lace, satin, leather, cotton, denim, spotted organza
Details & trims: Contrast piping, self ruffles, gold embroidery, sequins
Footwear: Ankle-chain flats and low-heeled courts
Accessories: Long strapped envelope bags, rouleau ties as necklaces, whippet-thin belts or narrow ribbon ties at the waist


Alexander McQueen


Having worked with Alexander McQueen for 15 years, Sarah Burton's design style must be intrinsically fused with the late designer's specific aesthetic. That symbiotic work undoubtedly led Burton to this collection, which read like a scrapbook of individual Alexander-infused pieces, instead of a cohesive story. Exquisite and couture-like, yes, but new and forward-looking? Not really. 
The look: A medley of exquisitely worked McQueen signatures
Silhouette: Fit-and-flare, hourglass
Key items: Signature pieces formed a medley of McQueen motifs, including the tailored frock coat worn with ruffle-neck blouses, panniered dresses with high funnel necks, and even a reworking of the skirt suit from the designer's famous Plato's Atlantis collection, with its folded collar and elliptical sleeve. Elsewhere, high-collared band jackets were worn with skater skirts with ruffled godet inserts, hipster fly-front pants were cropped and flared, jackets and gilets were cropped with cutaway closures revealing the midriff, and there was a pastoral section with a corn-dolly dress and a bucolic off-the-shoulder milkmaid dress in white broderie
Colour: Onyx, chalky white, antique gold
Fabric & knit: Silk, silk chiffon, gabardine, metallic jacquard, open-stitch mesh knits, tulle, broderie anglaise, embroidered sheers, laser-cut and tooled leather, snakeskin, suede, printed and clipped feathers, long pheasant feathers, soft marabou
Print & pattern: A detailed medieval floral in red and gold on black ground, a shaded yellow-gold printed sheer, a grey-black degradé
Details & trims: Exquisite and intricate embellishments including tooled leather leaf appliqués, gold fern-leaf embroideries, beetle-black micro-bead embroidery, gold bugle bead, and braided embroideries resembling corn, buttons used as beads, silk fringing, millefeuille chiffon, and printed feathers made to look like Monarch butterfly wings. Other details include oversized godets, peaked and slashed shoulders, slashed midriffs, high collars, whip-stitching and raw unfinished hems
Footwear: Studded sandal boots with ski-hook style lacings, square toe-capped buckled ankle boots, peep-toe T-bar sandals
Accessories: Waspies and wide waist-cinching belts in tooled leather with Western metal-tip buckled straps


Chanel


Karl Lagerfeld was in fine fettle on the penultimate day of the Paris shows, presenting ever-evolving variations on the classic Chanel suit, which this season took on a weightless aesthetic thanks to the designer's preoccupation with new fabrications. New proportions were also brought into play, helping make this a rejuvenated showing. 
The look: Last Year at Marienbad, which was the inspiration for the collection
Silhouette: Softly unstructured, longer skirt and dress shapes created new proportions
Key items: The Chanel suit manifested itself in new variations, including tiny short and jacket combinations that brought a new youthfulness to the house. Subtle A-line jackets looked new, along with wrapped silhouettes and a longer, fuller skirt proportion, which came teamed with jackets or as a soft smock-dress silhouette. Narrow jeans, boxy tee-shaped tops and soft dirndls, easy bath-wrap coats and knitted two-piece dressing were other new looks, while for evening it was all about a longer, fuller dress shape falling from a raised waistline.
Colour: Black and white formed the crux of the palette, highlighted with dabs of soft red, palest pastel pink, baby blue, aqua and lemon. Flashes of purple and brighter pink in prints
Fabric & knit: Weightless summer tweeds came with raw, ravaged edges, distressed, hole-pitted denims and drills, degradé or burn-out effects, delicate lace, silk chiffon, feathers
Print & pattern: A boldly coloured floral worked on a black ground, a diffused random abstract on muted brights on a white ground, a black and white floral all-over
Details & trims: Raw edges and fringed effects , tweed appliqués, braid trims, feathered hemlines, beading
Footwear: Low wedged sandals with laced details, cut-out shooties, flat unstructured tweed ankle boots
Accessories: Necklaces composed of multiple chains, long tasselled earrings, signature fingerless gloves, leather stocking boots, large squashy quilted envelope bags, small-scale chain-handle bags, fringed bags and fringed necklaces, jewelled cuffs

Live From... Paris Fashion Week, Day 6

5:26 AM admin No comments


Stella McCartney 


A safe collection from Stella McCartney, full of her signature tailoring and an evolution of the boxy shapes she introduced last season, as she played the plain and simple card to the max. 
The look: Less is more (although it can sometimes look a little mumsy)
Silhouette: Relaxed, laidback and boxy
Key items: Tailoring came in the form of easy pantsuits with high-rise cropped pants adding a point of difference, while jackets were cut with a generous relaxed fit, teamed with soft-knit polo shirts. Elsewhere it was all about boxy tunics and T-shaped dresses, wide-cut woven polo tops and easy boyish shorts, while a selection of long slashed-skirt dresses and halter necklines brought in a subtly sexy aesthetic
Colour: Colour-washed pales, denim blues, a shot of vivid chrome yellow, black and white
Fabric & knit: Silky twill suiting, denim, satin, soft jersey
Print & pattern: A botanical print featuring oranges, lemons and limes in zingy citric colours on a white ground, appearing in scale mixes, or as an alternative colourway in tonal blues as a small-scale all-over
Footwear: Simple strap sandals with feature buckles
Accessories: Satchel shoulder bags


Chloé


Hannah MacGibbon’s Charlie Girls were one of winter’s hottest looks, channelling that bang-on-trend 70s vibe. For summer 2011, she took Chloé to the dance studio, with second-skin tops, plissé skirts and midi-length tulle tutus. But she perhaps overplayed the minimalism that her 30-something set (Philo and McCartney her counterparts) have carved out as their signature, failing to capture the zeitgeist of the season this time round. 
The look: Minimal dance
Silhouette: Sleek lines with full-skirted flare
Key items: Crisp cotton shirtwaister dresses with full skirts and sash-tie waists; midi-length plissé or sheer tulle skirts teamed with second-skin tops; sporty pieces including collarless zip-through jackets, luxe track pants and signature leather shorts updated with an elasticated waistband; minimal coats with cutaway neckline and 2DB wrap closure or funnel neck and fly front; an LBD shift with leather shell top and crepe skirt with a slashed midriff; slash-front blouses and tops
Colour: White, black, beige, café crème and a single shot of dark red
Fabric & knit: Silk chiffon, plissé, cotton, silk, crepe, second-skin Lycra knits, slicked leather
Details & trims: Ruching, sporty collarless necklines, bandage-wrap bodice
Footwear: Flat sandals with toe loop and wide ankle cuff in leather or clear plastic, flat sandals with cross-over straps and Sam Browne stud fastening, soft-structure ballet pumps in collection colours
Accessories: Mini hard box clutches, larger clutch bags with a zip-round box construction, handbag-sized top-handle holdalls


Giambattista Valli


The present and the past collided at Giambattista Valli, with a romp that took in 60s silhouettes, leopardskin prints, Baroque-inspired patterns, Romanesque drapes and a finale of puffball feathers and organza petalled evening gowns.
The look: Futuristic antiquarian
Silhouette: Short and tunic shaped or softly draped
Key items: Simple A-line shifts and miniskirts, wrapped drape skirts, short cropped jackets and cigarette pants, fit-and-flare shifts, safari-style shirtdresses, sheer tunics, crystal-pleat skirts and simple shell tops, white shirts, draped Grecian goddess gowns
Colour: Flame red, faux nude and palest taupe neutrals, white, black, mimosa yellow
Fabric & knits: Gingham checks, chiffon, organza, silk with metallic silk jacquarded borders featuring a paisley motif, cloqué, compact cotton poplins, feathers
Print & pattern: A scrolling Baroque print on white grounds as borders or as a single engineered placement on white organza. Scale-mixed skin prints and a paisley jacquard in silver and white
Details & trims: Guipure lace placements, contrasting bands and borders to emphasise silhouettes. Feather and petals
Footwear: Flat Grecian-style sandals
Accessories: Minimalist metal collars and simple metal belts


Emanuel Ungaro


Emanuel UngaroAll eyes were on Giles Deacon yesterday in Paris, where the designer was making his debut at Emanuel Ungaro. It can't have been easy making the quantum leap from being the darling of the London East End scene to being a player on the world stage at a hallowed Parisian house. The designer may have cornered the Ungaro DNA, but he presented a collection rooted in the past and totally devoid of a signature handwriting. 
The look: Politely ladylike with a Parisian gloss
Silhouette: Short, neat and feminine
Key items: Thigh-high cocktail dresses; neat ladylike ladies-who-lunch suits; cropped flared pants and lace blouses or shell tops; draped bustiers and short draped goddess dresses; plunging halterneck red-carpet gowns
Colour: Palest pink and baby blue, black, grey and shades of amethyst
Fabric & knits: Delicate lace, metallic tweeds, Lurex knits, pointelle knits, organza, silk crepe, wool crepe, matt sequins, satin charmeuse, metallic jacquard weave, feathers
Print & pattern: The house’s signature spot was combined with a mini daisy motif on a dusted pink ground; a painterly floral on a white ground
Details & Trims: Lace trims, feather corsages, backless details, beading and Swarovski jewelled embellishment, flower buttons, floral braid trims on tweed suits
Footwear: Peep-toe shoes
Accessories: Fishnets, chain-strap bags that came feathered or embellished, feathered hats, jewelled belts


Yves Saint Laurent


With designers across the board openly referencing Saint Laurent’s iconic 70s looks this season, it seems only right that the house itself pays homage. Stefano Pilati managed to revisit and reinvigorate some of YSL’s most famous looks without slavishly following suit. It was a polished example of Parisian perfection from a designer who is more than capable of handling such a rich heritage. 
The look: Classic French chic
Silhouette: Lean tailoring versus full-skirted flare 
Key items: Signature YSL pieces such as Le Smoking translated into sophisticated all-in-ones with a raised waistline and halterneck tops or plunging necklines, reinterpreted 70s peasant looks including midi-length dresses with large ruffled trims or blouses with voluminous sleeves and pussy bows, and a nod to classic YSL safari with beige tailored dresses. Tailoring saw warp-closure jackets - sometimes sleeveless - with wide peaked lapels paired with fluid wide-leg pants or an A-line skirt with daring front split and single patch pocket
Colour: Navy and inky black, white, teal, ultramarine, classic beige and pops of Seville orange and fuchsia pink
Fabric & knit: Silk, taffeta, mottle-textured jacquard, crepe, cotton, luxe wool suiting, marabou feather
Print & pattern: A delicately shaded thumb-print repeat
Details & trims: Contrast edging trims, single patch pockets set on an angle, slashed midriffs, subtly sexy cutouts at the side of the waist, peplum-hemmed skirts, large ruffles
Footwear: Shaped wedges that extend past the heel, string-strapped platform sandals in recoloured python print, concave-shaped wedges with filigree straps
Accessories: Marabou-feathered ruff, printed chiffon neck scarves, suede waist belts in wide and narrow widths, wishbone-shaped bracelets in hammered gold metal

Live From... Paris Fashion Week, Day 5

4:35 AM admin No comments


John Galliano


John Galliano is a designer whose genius is the ability to weave a narrative through his clothes. Unlike any other, he always perfectly encapsulates the essence of a period in time. For spring/summer 2011 he returned to his favoured era, bohemian Paris in the 1920s, with a collection that married modern-day silhouettes with his signature weightless bias cutting and effortless embellishment. 
The look: Bohemian 20s ingenue
Silhouette: Languid, deshabillé layers inspired by Poiret
Key items: The Poiret-style ultra-wide pant was layered with a cropped belted jacket or a slouchy blouson and sporty tank. Trench coats came cropped or were worked in python and taffeta with a hem of scrolling ruffles and a Poiret-inspired painted floral. Sporty parkas were reworked in gazar, and there was a languid salon appeal to the draped kimono coats and soft pyjama pants, while the boudoir came into play with Galliano’s delicate lace skirts, flat bias tiers, lace tops and fluted bias dresses
Colour: A flamboyant palette of clashing brights, with a collage of vivid turquoise, poppy, fuchsia and cobalt, offset with soft washed sky blue and pale sage, deep petrol, ink, black and white
Fabric & knit: A delicious mix of washed leather, python, weightless gazar and chiffon, Chantilly lace, taffeta, satin charmeuse, spotted tulle and silky devoré
Print & pattern: Butterflies and florals were the motifs du jour, worked as all-overs or as placements
Details & trims: Embroidery, crystalline beading, feather trims
Footwear: Vampy high T-bar sandals with contrast platforms
Accessories: Overblown corsages, coloured stockings, fishnets, Edwardiana veils, unstructured high-crown floppy brimmed hats, socks


Givenchy


A hard-edged look at Givenchy, with uncompromising silhouettes played out in a riff of short over long, and solid and sheer fabric mixes - part masculine, part goth-punk-rocker. 
The look: Gothic punk rocker
Silhouette: A lean elongated masculine-feminine silhouette
Key items: Multi-layering created a complex look, but strip away the styling and this was a collection about long, sheer layers under short zippered miniskirts, boxy waistcoats and sleeveless tailored jackets. Sheer tunic shirts teamed with slick flared pants, gilets and tuxedo styling added to the masculine feel, and for evening there were harness-back ruffled breastplate tops with hip-slung skirts or pants
Colour: A flash of grey, crisp white and faux nude alleviated a gothic palette of black on black, played out in nuances of colour through contrasting fabric weights
Fabric & knit: Self-coloured jacquards and cloqué, georgette, chiffon, mesh leopard-patterned devoré, leather and suitweights were worked together in a complex collage of solid and sheer mixes
Print & pattern: Leopardprint ran throughout the collection, used as an all-over, as a self-coloured devoré pattern or as cutout motifs appliquéd on to sheer
Details & trims: Exposed zips traced every piece of the collections, running vertically down the front of sheer tunics, etching side seams, emphasising design details on lean tabard dresses, or snaking horizontally at the hip
Footwear: High strappy sandals with deep ankle straps
Accessories: Long strapped purse bags


Costume National


Punchy colour, clean lines and a believable mix of fluidity and structure made for a no-frills show at Costume National yesterday, where the sheer simplicity of the collection was commercially covetable.
"I took the energy of Pop and the coolness of minimalism and mixed them, leading to strong tailoring and multiple colour chromatics,” Ennio Capasa told WGSN.
The look: The collection was titled Pop Chic
Silhouette: Tailored and minimal
Key items: Shapes were unfussy and graphic - tailored suits arrived with bracelet-length sleeves on jackets and either ankle-cropped treggings or a high-waisted flat-front wide-leg pants. A shorts suit featured a collarless zip-through jacket. Elsewhere there were wrap-over tops tucked into pants, breezy tops with sheer/opaque fabric-blocking, simple V-neck dresses and a series over oversized maxidresses
Colour: An opening passage of beige faux nudes, a finale of black, and a central core of saturated brights in single shades of turquoise, orange, red and royal blue
Fabric & knit: Silk, crepe organza, viscose, sheer nylon, unlined nappa leather
Details & trims: Bracelet-length sleeves, shoulder tabs on outerwear, pale suede waistband details with a Sam Browne stud fastening, halternecks, caped sleeves, fabric-blocking
Footwear: Wooden-heeled cutaway T-bars, three-strap no-platform sandals, cork wedge platforms with asymmetric strap - all in patent leather
Accessories: Round-framed sunglasses with coloured lenses, oversized squashy top-handled bags carried as clutches


Céline 


Phoebe Philo's shows for Céline continue to be one of Paris' hottest tickets, as fashion editors and buyers jostle for a better view of her new-wave minimalism. For summer 2011 those looks continued, but with the addition of crafty texture and prints inspired by vintage foulards. 
The look: Grown-up minimalism with a hint of craft
Silhouette: Largely lean and languid with the occasional oversized cocoon
Key items: Fluid, flat-front, zip-fly, wide-leg pants worn on the hips, teamed with rigid-structure tops such as an elongated sleeveless jacket with baseball-style collar, a long leather tunic, a pullover V-neck top with cutaway collar, or a long-sleeved leather tee with high bateau neckline. Minimal cape-sleeved tailored blazer with cutaway collar and lapel; LBD with wide plunge neckline and two tailored black jumpsuits - one with long sleeves, the other a zip-up halter. The more minimal looks were contrasted with some artisanal pieces including a halter-top and zip-through jacket with a heavily textured crafty weave with tufted wool fringe, or a Japonesque quilted wrap-over sleeveless jacket cinched with an obi-style belt. Slicked leather pieces included a tailored tank and a below-the-knee pencil skirt with wide waistband and coordinating leather belt tied in a small knot. Oversized tees and masculine shirts with long sleeves and wide-open cuffs. Wide-leg zip-fly jeans with flat scrubs-style top
Colour: White, ivory and black were the cornerstone colours, with a singular flash of Céline orange and considered notes of royal blue, bottle green, rich mahogany brown and palest primrose yellow
Fabric & knit: Silk, crisp cottons, bonded cotton twill, linen canvas, denim, slicked and polished leather, and an artisanal weave with chunky patchworked textures and tufted fringe
Print & pattern: Foulard-inspired prints, with colour-blocked edging and central panels of micro repeats, the colour-blocked edging stripes running down pant legs
Details & trims: Contrast-coloured crew necks on T-shirts, orange trouser waistbands, stand-up collars, leather buckled halterneck fastenings, high-cut bateau necklines, quilting, long scarf fringing, zips, canvas webbing straps
Footwear: Strappy tan leather high heels with chain embellishment across the toe strap, sand-coloured ponyskin peep toe sandals
Accessories: Green wrist cuffs, necklaces with metal plaques, minimal bags with a leather thong-and-bead closure, a zip-up pochette, concertina-construction bags


Akris


"The shirt is the most important piece of a summer wardrobe," said designer Albert Kriemler in his show notes. Akris was another brand to riff on the reconfiguring of the white shirt this season - Dries Van Noten, Viktor & Rolf, Céline all proffered similar ideas this week.
"A visit to Japan and the Kyoto gardens made me think of other clothes for summer… more relaxed refinement, more simplicity and more ease,” Albert Kriemler told WGSN.
The look: Crisp summer elegance
Silhouette: Tailored
Key items: The classic shirt was transposed into dresses with misaligned asymmetrical hems, elongated shirts with a dipping hem, or a cocktail dress with strands of chiffon tubing creating a cage-like structure. Classic white shirts with dipping hems and fly-front plackets; two pants shapes, either fluid and wide-legged or narrow-fit straight-cut; full maxiskirts with dipping hemline at the sides; sporty gilets with large fold-over collars or minimal collarless gilets with asymmetric zip closure; wrap-over tops; tailored dresses including a leather shift with cap-sleeves; shorts suits and an off-the-shoulder playsuit; a printed halterneck gown with deep plunging neckline
Colour: Crisp optic white and faux nude with colourful bursts of Seville orange, vivid teal, saturated leaf green; darker tones arrived as navy and pewter
Fabric & knit: Cotton, linen, leather, denim and a host of silks including silk organza, open-mesh silk knits, washed silk, parachute silk and shantung
Print & pattern: Overblown photoreal orchid florals, placement sections on white grounds
Details & trims: Oversized fold-over collars, misaligned asymmetric hems, dipping hems, inverted pleats, zip-open necklines, double-layered jacket details, double spaghetti straps, wrap-over tops
Footwear: Tall closed-toe shoes with rocking platform
Accessories: Oversized squashy bags carried as clutches, small formal clutch bags, minimal colour-coordinated leather waist belts


Alexis Mabille 


It was femininity all the way at Alexis Mabille's latest showing as the designer played with a holiday theme, combining subtle nautical references with full flirty silhouettes and a sunny, summery feel.
The look: A feminine twist on summer resort
Silhouette: Girly-flirty with waist emphasis
Key items: It was girly all the way, with full dirndl skirts, shapely ruffled biker jackets, paper-bag shorts and frilled peplum bustiers. Narrow cigarette-shaped jeans, a drawstring utility dress and a billowing parka added a more sporty touch, but bow-trimmed boat-neck tees, halterneck waisted dresses and frilled gypsy blouses made sure the feminine message wasn't lost along the way.
Colour: An almost monochrome palette of black and white, with greyed denim blue, sand and soft iced pales
