The KARL LAGERFELD Fall-Winter 2017 collection finds its inspiration in Karl’s most iconic, signature styles — pieces with character and meaning, reinterpreted for today. The look is effortless and easy, striking the perfect balance between Karl’s favourite dichotomies: masculine but feminine, youthful but chic, classic but modern. It’s all about mix-and-match wardrobe essentials with a cool, nonchalant charm.

This season, 18th and 19th century military uniforms are reimagined with a feminine twist. Tonal patches and embroideries mix with rope, lace and zippers — it’s no longer just about function, but a celebration of decorative details. Day-to-day dressing is a nod to boy-meets-girl tailoring: high-waisted sailor pants, chunky turtlenecks and structured tuxedo blazers meet dainty bows, pleats and silk georgette ruffles in blouses and dresses. A core palette of black and white is livened with pops of soft pink and army green. In outerwear, lace-up finishes adorn the designs, from the sleeves of a leather biker jacket to the back of a military trench. The final touch is a statement biker jacket with a shearling collar and panels, cut with a slightly oversized fit.

As the holidays approach, the signature style is about versatility and juxtaposition — dramatic yet wearable, elegant and comfortable. A black and white palette is accented by pops of rhubarb, rhinestone details and metallic gold trimmings. Quilted down outerwear is topped with feminine metallic bouclé, seen in a gilet, a cropped bomber and a long bomber. Crafted from hand-selected yarns, the bouclé also appears in blazers, pencil skirts and dresses. Tailoring essentials — jumpsuits, wide-leg trousers, ruffled blouses and blazers — are modernized with sparkling fabrics and textured pleating. There’s a wide selection of KARL’s iconic black cocktail dresses: silk with a sheer cape; bouclé with metallic weaving; and a silk georgette maxi with a built-in catsuit. For the most festive occasions a tuxedo silhouette is crafted in metallic gold, and as a nod to Karl’s playful side there’s a hidden surprise: zippers set vertically in the jacket’s sleeves can slide open, instantly transforming it into a cape.

The season’s central inspirations also appear in accessories, which combine feminine sophistication with a rock-chic twist. The K/Ikonik Pearls features all-over pearl studs mixed with edgy metallic hardware, while the K/Piercing places rocky hardware ring “piercings” on soft, grainy calf leather. The new Rocky Bow range includes two totes and two cross-body silhouettes in grainy calf leather, topped with gold and silver bow details. The K/Klassik Diamonds and K/Rocky Studs are finished with oversized stone appliqués or a degradé pattern of studs, pearls and stars.

Graphic contrasts are also a key theme throughout. The minimalistic K/Kool features metallic colours, while the K/Klassik Exotic plays with geometric artistic prints. The collection also sees the return of the favourite K/Slouchy, K/Klassik, K/Shopper and K/Kuilted (in caviar, bouclé and multi finishes).

For the modern traveller, the new K/Ikonik luggage is adorned with playful graphics of Karl. The must-have is a trolley suitcase, complemented by five bags and various accessories including a wallet, iPad pouch, passport holder and card holder.

Finally, the K/Signature remains a wardrobe essential, featuring Karl’s handwritten signature in glossy metallic hardware. This season’s offering has two new silhouettes: a large shoulder bag and a zip-top shopper. Accessories include a range of iconic gloves, minaudieres, Choupette-inspired hats and beanies, playful keychains, and a dozen scarves for layering.

In footwear, sneakers are a must-have – including the iconic “Kreeper” platform. Slip-on and lace-up styles range from bouclé and metallic leather to pearly studs and Karl artworks. Boots are also a staple, with new biker and knee-high silhouettes. For glamorous occasions there’s no shortage of heels, with sparkling glitter finishes and pearl appliqué studs to further emphasize a feminine-chic aesthetic.

Weill is celebrating its 125th anniversary, and this longevity bears witness to the continued renewal and relevance of its designs. This year, more than ever, “Paris is Weill”! In the same way as its legendary headquarters set at the foot of the Butte Montmartre, and which have recently been renovated, the style of the House of Weill represents a perfect balance between timeless stature and tailored modernity. In an era which combines the satisfaction of requirements with an aspiration to happiness, the time is right this winter to adopt smart outfits combining flair and comfort, style and a sense of wellbeing.

In the forefront of style:

The intelligence of curved silhouettes and embracing floating volumes in which one feels at home. The present inspired by renewed and appealing alliances: casual meets couture in summer and winter, vivacious and subtle, lingerie becomes more enterprising… Elegance with a twist of cheerful accessories, trimmings and jewels, in which veiled references combine with a quirky sense of humour.

Inner Glamour: In which sensuality reigns: fine pyjamas, ravishing nightdresses, misty lace and soft silhouettes… A refined wardrobe of shimmering velvet, light crepe, ultra-feminine safari jackets and parkas, dressing gowns and house coats, tunics and twin-sets, composes a seductive panoply…

Jersey in a Shimmer: With panache and warmth jersey lends itself to a range of sophisticated looks. Adorned with giant chevrons and leopard motifs, light beading and ribbing, or a glint of lurex: small coats, ample slacks and tunics, three-quarter length coats, wrap dresses, and smart cowl-necked tops and blazers to keep warm.

Impressive Prints: Scarves are printed with equestrian motifs dispensing a graceful touch. Set on a plain, leopard or houndstooth background, in the lining of a trench coat or a black down jacket, combined with leather, jersey or silk, in a spruce jacket, on an ‘A’ shaped dress or a graceful twin-set… graphic-couture accents gracefully stand out.

Winter Sun: A light touch: a wardrobe which adapts to an increasingly changing climate. Winter (almost) unveiled as in warmer seasons, with satin poplin, feather-light raincoats, slim line slacks, ‘destroy’ blouses, sweat shirts or knitwear with highlights of bronze, slate, pearl and navy blue to blend in with autumn hues…

Happy Hour: When an enlightened spirit awakens the night: dark blue, ultra bright red or green, sequins, re-embroidered tulle, devoré velvet, radiant pleats, braided effects, rich Jacquard motifs, festive effects for loose fitting designs, knee-length dresses, pleated tops, slacks, ample tunics and short coats… prepare to liven up the evening.

Tweed is Trumps: The essentials in the Weill wardrobe come in a wide range of variations. Tweed with denim or ethnic patterns, jewelled or fluorescent trimmings, plain or with buckles, lined or unlined, short blazers or ample tunics, light dresses or duster coats, casual or tailored… a companion for every occasion.

Paris City: The city adopts a contemporary energy. Weill redefines the dress code of the modern Parisian woman: flannel, poplin and knitwear open up new perspectives. Simple delicate and asymmetrical lines inject a new spirit. A blouse adorned with buttons at the back, a long-tailed sweater or smock, a long sleeveless jacket, or a denim garment with Jacquard motif… brings a touch or originality.

Elective Affinities: Cedar and copper coloured hues create the event: combining to produce an intense elegance in knitwear with chevron motifs and on slacks, coats in Jacquard print, dresses and flounces… producing a palette of precious shimmering effects.

Gala Attitude: Wherever the red carpet is rolled out… a selection of long dresses… velvet stretch, shimmering pleats, guipure lace or taffeta, fur trimmings, balloon sleeves, sheaths or more fluid lines… are always eager to break into a dance step.
