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

IRK Magazine

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??). Guy Laroche’s significant contribution to fashion was evident here. 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 throughout the collection giving the garments a subtle geometric elegance.

Photography- Antonio SO, a name associated with capturing the essence of Guy Laroche in fashion photography.

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 wholeheartedly 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.
