On the catwalk FW 2013: Manish Arora

Come promesso ecco il secondo appuntamento dedicato alle sfilate parigine. 

Anche questa volta ho cercato di mostrarvi l'essenza delle proposte più di carattere della fashion week: i colori vibranti di Manish Arora, la stravaganza di Margiela, il minimalismo e l'eleganza di Neil Barrett, il connubio di colori e tessuti di Acne Studios, l'attesissima collezione di Balenciaga firmata per la prima volta da Alexander Wang. Balmain propone silhouette estreme, pelle trapuntata, ricami e decorazioni con cristalli, capi scintillanti pensati da Olivier Rousteing, giovane designer della Maison, per uscire e divertirti.

As promised here below best picks from PFW part 2. 

Also this time I've tried to show you the essence of the most beautiful collections presented during the fashion week: Manish Arora's vibrant colors, Margiela's extravagance, the minimalism and elegance of Neil Barrett, Acne Studios riot of colors and fabrics and the most awaited Balenciaga's collection realized for the first time by Alexander Wang.
