Paris Couture Autumn/Winter 2015/16
From the 5th to 9th of July, Paris is hosting the Autumn/Winter 2015/16 Haute Couture shows, the biannual opportunity to show why the city still retains its crown as the world’s premier fashion city and craft laboratory.
Two designers are showing their collections for the first time as official members this year. The Russian Ulyana Sergeenko, who founded her house in 2011 in Moscow, became famous via the blogosphere, having dressed stars like Natalia Vodianova, Dita Von Teese and Beyoncé, while the Dutch designer Ilja Visser, who founded her brand in 2009, was one of the nice surprises of the last couture week with her collection “Tournavolta”.
