Every Paris Fashion Week I have the glamorous good fortune of going to at least one of the fashion shows, défilés de mode as they are called in this part of the world. Always an interesting and often inspiring experience, both for the fashion as well as for the setting. Last year found me at the Galerie de Minéralogie for Amaya Arzuaga with Melissa of Prête Moi Paris. This year the lovely Melissa invited me on another fashion adventure, this one taking place in a boat on the Seine. And for none other than one of my favorite French fashion designers agnès b. The setting alone was magical!
What fashion trends were revealed upon this grand bateau? That the little black dress I often associated with agnès b. is no longer a dress, nor is it black.
This was only the beginning of what turned out to be a show of colors… and fairytale peasantry?
After what felt like a theatrical performance, the elegance of agnès b. resumed. With a modern twist.
Following one more surprise… Who says the fashion world has no sense of humour?
Agnès herself took a humble strut to a cacophony of applause from a well entertained crowd.
Black is still black.
For more on Paris Fashion Week Spring 2012, take a look at Moon Young Hee and Agonovich!
How fun that you got to do this! I love the photos and how you arranged them in the post. The clothes are really interesting, too. Okay, some are a little too interesting, haha. But creative. I like the Agnes b look. If she ever creates a line for Target, I’m in, lol. 😉
Interesting is the key word for many of these ‘creative’ pieces. You never know, she might just end up at Target!
I want that yellow dress!!!
Gorgeous isn’t it?? I LOVE that shade of yellow. (Though I don’t really think it suits me)
Oh, oh, oh! I am trop jalouse! What an amazing show to have seen (kickass collection, too)!
I’m sharing all the highlights, almost better than being there, non? 😉
How much fun! Looks lovely and I really adore that first dress. Looking forward to my first fashion show 🙂
Many Paris fashion shows in your future…
ooooooh I love Agnès b and especially that first dress and coat combo! So chic!
That first ensemble is what I think of when I think of agnès b, but a few of the others were a surprise! Great show.
Swoon…I love Agnes b!
