(Eagle News) — Italian luxury label Versace was among the first to kick-off Paris Haute couture fashion week on Sunday, July 3 with belted cashmere coats and satin dresses unveiled in atelier Versace’s fall collection.
Models strutted down the catwalk in off-the-shoulder or asymmetric draped gowns, some worn with slim trousers.
Other dresses had cut-out features as well as plenty of pleats for the evening.
Adding to the luxurious feel were crystals adorning evening coats and twisted satin drapes on gowns, fit for a celebrity red carpet.
High heels with twisted leather knots were de rigueur.
For the color palette, designer Donatella Versace contrasted pale pink and blue with black, as well as using bold red and dabs of lilac.
Other luxury labels presenting their fall 2016 haute couture creations this week include Chanel, valentino and Giorgio Armani Prive. Dior presents its line later on Monday, July 4.
