CARVEN FALL WINTER 2016: A BACKSTAGE STORY

It always seems the Carven girl is traveling. Indeed, she’s the girl on the go, an everyday, real girl, which is the defining feature of Adrien Caillaudaud and Alexis Martial design idea. This season, we’d tend to imagine her in the mountains somewhere in Perù or South America, wearing her taupe shearling coat and thigh-high boots. But rest assured, high-waisted miniskirts are still a Carven staple, and this season, the Parisian girl pairs them with striped jerseys and asymmetrical tucked-in pullovers with sheepskin lining. PVC trousers are a new addition to her wardrobe while exotic stones serve as buttons on a top part of a dress. The collection turns sci-fi and somewhat psychedelic with lightening print on a zipped-up sports jacket, or a top with an orange-to-purple mountain motif. Sequins tops appear towards the end of the show. Worn over pinstripe blouses, they bring texture and shine to already flattering silhouettes. Not to forget the pale pink puffer jacket, definitely the item every girl will have in their closet next fall.
