041015 – Mirror the World Part II – Gold Label SS16 – Paris

It was with great expectation I arrived in Paris for the Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Show during Fashion Week.

Held at Couvent des Cordeliers the ancient wooden beamed space was alive with reflected shimmering light from the giant suspended glitter balls above. As a backdrop a projection screen displayed images of Venice, a slowly subsiding city and inspiration for the collection. With a front row seat I watched intently as both male & female models began their foray on the catwalk. The night was a mixture of dancing and conversation at Les Bains followed by a midnight walk back to the hotel for some much needed sleep.
