Sexy Slits and Sequin Tights At Guy Laroche – F/W 19

Amongst the chandeliers dripping in gold and mirrors glistening (in the rather peculiar February) Parisian sun. Walked a sea of sophistication and class. Playing homage to the man himself, Guy Laroche. The Autumn/winter 19-20 collection was full of looks that made me feel very lucky to be born a woman. As they obtained sophistication, sex appeal and class (what more could a woman want??) To add to the sophistication and elegance, the theme of the collection was black marble. A luxurious stone which when carved and cut creates a unique pattern of gleaming veins. This gleaming vein pattern was translated through out the collection giving the garments a subtle geometric elegance.

Gliding down the runway like a fleet of swans en-route to the other side of the lake, models were draped in floor length capes, dresses with feathered trims and enough leather and velvet to make anyone with a heartbeat weak at the knees. Oh, and did I mention the hats? Once upon a time (until yesterday) I thought cowboy-esque hats were better left to those who spent their Thursday nights clicking their boots and dancing in a row at line dancing. But I can whole hearted say since the Laroche show my google history contains multiple searches for “black brimmed hat.” Effortlessly adding sophistication and mystery the hats as well as the collection get a solid 5 stars from me, so for that I owe a big thank you to Guy Laroche, let’s hope they’re a trend that’s here to stay.
