This Fall in Paris, It’s All About the Shimmer

Metallic shine sparked up the Paris Haute Couture fall/winter 2017/18 catwalks. With influences as diverse as the roaring ‘20s and the disco divas of the ‘70s, the trend is focused on silver, platinum and gunmetal lamé, chiffon and sequins that shimmer with dramatic effect. The same holds true for jewelry. Silver and white metal is definitely having a moment in a variety of crinkled and crushed finishes with subdued diamonds.
