The Row Duplex horse hair-trimmed textured-leather shoulder bag The Row’s ‘Duplex’ shoulder bag is a smart everyday choice. Crafted from textured-leather, this spacious design is lined in black suede and sand canvas. It has a large central zipped compartment detailed with a beige horse hair tassel on the strap. Colour scheme Louis Vuitton The images were so bright and rapid that many guests did not see the first model walk out in a pink leather moto jacket and armorial beaded skirt, her long pink hair, manga-style eye makeup and metal forehead band making her look like the real-life manifestation of some gaming avatar. She was succeeded by models in fantasy-warrior garb: technical knits that resembled chain mail, tough-looking beaded and braided leather skirts, and logo-stamped leather jackets over puffy white blouses, dresses and skirts. Central to the result was the simple act of pairing skirts and dresses with clean, seamless stretch knits, some in ribbed viscose, some in toile de Jouy lace. Del la Renta tempered the grander shapes, fabrics and color scheme, which were largely inspired by 18th–century interiors. Copping worked in rich combinations of oyster gray, Bordeaux and French blue. Fancy fabrics, such as damask silk jacquard, silk faille and toile, were updated in lighter constructions and metallic treatments. Oscar de la Renta Tods Dior Dior spring 2016 couture show in Paris. For its first womenswear off ering since creative director Raf Simons’ surprise departure in October, the brand turned to its in-house designers Serge Ruffieux and Lucie Meier to continue its legacy of offbeat femininity.
