Alberta Ferretti

She’ll never be a minimalist, of course, so the smart pea jacket that opened the show came with puff sleeves, while a V-neck dress had a flaring hourglass shape that shaded from dove gray at the bodice to charcoal at the knee. Coats were potent, too. If their inspirations were retro, their lines were reproportioned to look new. One princess silhouette was decorated with a warm sunset print. Glossy leathers were studded, as is the trend this season.

Chanel Couture

Lagerfeld used strips of leather, moving into feather, and bold tracings of pearl.He looked at Chanel from one angle—sideways-on—and turned that technical exercise into a show that focused all the imaginative, structural, and decorative skills of haute couture into one idea: tracing the body line from shoulder to ankle. "High profile," he called it.

YSL

Stefano Pilati came close to nailing the essence of that bold philosophy, centering his collection on the mission to reshape form and give it a contemporary bite.Volume can be overwhelming, fattening, and fashion-victim-y, but here Pilati concentrated on offering chic women—and not just young women.Catherine McNeil(NEXT)

Emilio Pucci

Who at Pucci is in charge of tweaking Italy's richest print archive. Today he took things in the general direction of the seventies.It comprised Popsicle-orange and -pink tunic dresses, short skirts, and A-line coats, all in plain felted wool.

Celine

Designer Ivana Omazic did focus on the classical elements of Gallic chic.There were narrow belted sheaths, smart wide-legged pants, and statement trenches all shown with leather newsboy caps with flaps that fastened below the chin in place of the more traditional silk scarf. Laura Blokhina(VIVA)

It’s a big mix—a street mix, with symbols and colors that are very multicultural,” said Nicolas Ghesquière.Clothes to wear—as simple as a tight little peak-shoulder jacket, a pair of narrow jodhpur-ish pants, a college-girl scarf wound up high, and killer athletic-techno sandals.
