Yiqing Yin focused on new beginnings on Tuesday, as the designer showed off her debut eponymous collection as part of the Spring 2016 Haute Couture calendar. Meanwhile Stephane Rolland's collection was a dramatic reflection on couture, featuring ruffled tulle hemlines on poetic monochrome dresses and balletic chiffons folded and tucked to create lyrical silhouettes.
The Italian house put on a show that managed to combine 1960s vibes, 1930s detailing and futuristic structures, all while sticking to a single color palette, rimmed with the occasional injection of black for contrast. This meant lilac leather ankle boots paired with sheer sequinned tops, iridescent, translucent puffball jackets and pleated metallic miniskirts that swished their way down the catwalk. There were petrol-hued bomber jackets, trousers with organza ruffles running down the leg and lampshade-style tops.

By Pauline Ades-Mevel PARIS (Reuters) – Known for his extravagant runway settings, designer Karl Lagerfeld led fashionistas into a serene garden on Tuesday at the Chanel haute couture catwalk show in Paris. Having, in previous years, turned the Grand Palais into an airport, a supermarket and a brasserie, the designer, who has been at the creative helm of Chanel since 1983, sent models out of a wooden house down a garden path across a neat green lawn. Lagerfeld said the starting point for the line was “the silhouette” and he puffed up sleeves into oval shapes on Chanel's signature tweed jackets paired with pencil-slim skirts.

Stepping lightly down the grassy runway, Karl Lagerfeld's doll-like models were a picture of dewy and youthful elegance, from their Princess Leia-like hairstyles to the glossy black tips of their monochrome pumps. This being Chanel, the show started with the tweed suits — chic two-pieces comprising elongated midi skirts cut close to the body and cropped double-breasted jackets with puffed sleeves for contrast. There were dress coats and trouser suits, all woven from a tasteful palette of creams, golds, peaches and dusky greys, with brooches scattered around for embellishment.

Presented Monday in Paris, that collection struck the perfect balance between the elegant and the risqué, featuring the house's signature lightness of touch and sensual approach to women's fashion.
