Monochromatic outfits were once again the trend on day two of Paris Fashion Week. There’s nothing like a bold statement colour to stand out from the rest of the stylish crowd (and get captured by our photographer Guilhem Malissen, of course).
Pulling off the tone-on-tone ensemble is no easy task, but showgoers prove to us exactly why they are fashion week’s street style stars. Stephanie LaCava mesmerized us in an off-the-shoulder emerald green dress, while another stopped us in our tracks in a head to toe bright red ensemble. But really bringing single hue outfits to a whole new level are street stylers who mixed different prints and textures (like a leopard print jacket and patent leather skirt or a striped cropped jacket and polka dot shirt) to make monochromatic ensembles that much more chic.

Short Circuit: The culture behind fall’s cropped cuts
Photography by Peter Stigter
“Punk is an idea that was floating around,” Sam McKnight said backstage at Fendi, where he created haute fox-fur mohawks a few days after engineering a similar long-on-top, short-on-the-sides optical illusion at Clements Ribeiro.
“It might have been something in the air,” says Redken creative consultant Guido Palau of the punk theme, “but it wasn’t planned.” Other influences led him to create short styles at Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton and Jean Paul Gaultier—not least fashion’s fickle nature. “Designers see girls with long hair, and they get a little despondent. Sometimes they just want that different character, the kind of girl that would cut her hair.” Palau dates the move away from long, luxe locks to January 2013, when he cut over 40 wigs into gamine pixies for Raf Simons’s Spring 2013 Dior Haute Couture show. “Raf really wanted what that brings to an outfit—what that brings to a dress.” Read more »

Photography by Peter Stigter
It’s all part of the sportif trend which has a grip on Europe. On day two of the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2014, the backdrop at Carven was a half-pipe and the opening soundtrack was of skateboard wheels rolling up and down. The boarding spirit appeared in colourful camouflage prints with insets of camo lace. But Carven designer Guillaume Henry’s boxy jean jackets, A-line dresses and long stiff coats didn’t look made for motion.
He’s not alone. This is Paris, after all. Not the land of Lycra.

Tired of being told you look tired? From serums to surgeries, we test-drive the top anti-aging eye treatments
Photography by Carlo Mendoza
“Don’t you think she looks tired?” These six words, murmured by a male adversary, take down an entire government. Doctor Who’s Tenth Doctor is speaking about Harriet Jones, the 50-something prime minister of Britain. As his words spread doubt about her capabilities, Jones begins to panic and worry—appearing tired as a result. The time-travelling Doctor himself may be incredulous at how little has changed with regard to the link between professional women’s work and their appearance-—the appearance of fatigue, particularly.
So age discrimination persists against women? There are “all kinds of it,” says Spring Tompkins, a professor of human resources at St. Lawrence College. One acquaintance, a finance executive in her 60s, has been bombarded throughout her career with faux sympathy for her so-very-tiredness. “I know they’re trying to undermine me,” she says. “I just smile.” Such digs are a way of nipping at one’s confidence and sense of security in the many industries that value youth over experience. It’s a global issue: The Daily Beast reports that in China, professional women nearing their 30s are increasingly resorting to plastic surgery—many job postings are open only to women under 30, and unmarried females in their late 20s are commonly referred to as “leftover women.”

Twisted Sisters: Exploring the psychic, sonic bond among the members of Haim
Photography by Bella Lieberberg
There are three voices talking at once, and a blow-dryer is whirling at high speed via a long-distance call from Australia. The first remotely audible sound is from 24-year-old Danielle Haim, who immediately excuses herself from the interview to use the shower because her throat is feeling “nasty.” The second is from 27-year-old Este Haim, and the third is from 21-year-old Alana Haim, who blurts out a “Thanks for the call, man!” and shakes the receiver.
Alana apologizes for the lame, crackling phone connection and explains that this is how it always is with the sisters’ band, Haim. Overlapping thoughts. Different schedules happening at once. Various energy levels. “We are all-over-the-place crazy until it really matters,” she says, “but when it’s time to rock, everyone sits tight and has to work at the same speed. It was so much harder to work with other people. We’re best friends too.”
Alana says that in the midst of the chaos, they always have a trick up their sleeve—something that she feels other musical sister acts such as Heart, Tegan and Sara and CocoRosie must also share.
“We have this psychic sister thing going on that makes us finish [each other’s] sentences, lyrics and chords. It’s pretty weird for the average person, but for us, and I think for other sister groups, it’s a normal way to communicate.”
This explanation doesn’t sound heavy-handed after listening to Haim’s magnificent EP of 2012, Forever, or the new single, “The Wire,” off their debut album, Days Are Gone, out October 1. Both feature a sunny mix of the band’s Californian roots and relay choruses that bring to mind Heart and Fleetwood Mac.
“If Haim could write a soundtrack to any book, it would be a toss-up between The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Less than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis,” says Este, in an effort to describe the new album.
“One would be the dopest, craziest ’80s guitar music—like the Bangles’ “Hazy Shade of Winter”—and the other would be chilled-out melodies. That’s the kind of library we’re inspired by now.”
It is no wonder the three women get a kick out of literary references. The lyrics to their second single, “Don’t Save Me”—specifically the profound lines “Hungry for what was to come / Now I’m longing for the way I was”—could be read as a modern take on William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and Experience.
“We still ache to play together in our garage or in small dives and gigs around our ’hood,” says Alana. “But we just played Glastonbury, and we are totally ready for the next big thing.”

Paris Fashion Week: The Spring 2014 wow factor at Dries Van Noten and Marco Zanini’s last collection for Rochas
Photography by Peter Stigter
It must have felt a bit creepy to be standing with your back to a wall as a stampede of phone-wielding fashion fiends came running toward you for a close-up. But no one said modeling was easy on the nerves.
Dries loves florals. These have a vague Asian whiff and came in shapes that still seem bedroom-y. Another theme were passementerie tassels that swung from tunics that looked homespun. But it was Dries’ perma-pleated ruffles that stole the show: gold foil ones snaked over hips, or were coiled into giant hip corsages.
Metal and high gloss shine, proved to be the story of the day. The sparkles at Rochas were blinding, even without the opera-length crystal necklaces. Shapes were relatively simple—polos, short-sleeved toppers, cropped pants—but the fabrics, wow. Silver jacquard florals, reflective nude lame, crystal embroidery, and what looked like helium-filled organza ruffles. Tassels showed up here from the ankles down, with ostrich feathers sweeping away the dust bunnies in style.
