LUXE Models' Five Highlights From Paris Fashion Week

Rounding off Fashion Month Spring/Summer 2017, Paris Fashion Week was eventful to say the least. LUXE Models reveals five highlights from Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017.

Kim’s iconic look

Kim Kardashian stunned at the Balmain show. The reality TV star, who sat on the front row, rocked a risqué metallic, knit-fishnet floor-length dress which left almost nothing to the imagination. Sparking headlines around the world, we’re sure this fabulous piece, along with other Balmain highlights, such as jewel-toned snake prints and rainbow crocheted clothes, will be everywhere next season.

Kim Kardashian steals the show in Paris

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian-West is one of the most famous fashion icons on earth. Everywhere she goes, Kim attracts the spotlight and sparks tabloid headlines. It should come as no surprise then, that Kim absolutely stole the show at the Balmain Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017 event.

Turning heads

Kim Kardashian is rapidly becoming a style icon. As an example, remember when Kim unveiled a new ‘do, dying her luscious brunette locks vivid blond? Kim’s radical hair change made headlines the world over, showing just how much influence she has on the global fashion scene right now.

Kim Kardashian also has something of a penchant for shocking people. Who can forget the time Kim broke the internet by showing off her famous derrière on the cover of Paper Magazine? We especially loved that shot of Kim in a sequined black dress, popping a Champagne bottle which flowed over her head and onto her booty. So what happens when you combine Kim’s chic style with her love of shocking people? We found out at the recent Balmain show at Paris Fashion Week.

Stealing the spotlight

Established in 1946, Balmain is one of France’s most respected Fashion Houses. Balmain’s Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2017 jungle-themed show was a sight to behold, according to Vogue. During the event, top models like Gigi Hadid rocked a range of ultra-cool trends, from asymmetrical bra-tops and jewel-toned snake prints, to daring cut-out dresses and rainbow crocheted pieces.

But while the Balmain event was a triumph, attendee Kim Kardashian stole the show. Kim was seated on the front row (obviously) of the Balmain display, between mum/manager Kris Jenner, sister/co-star Kourtney Kardashian and CR Fashion Book Editor-In-Chief Carine Roitfield. All four women sported glamorous looks at Balmain, but only Kim managed to generate more headlines than the event itself.

Why? Kim rocked up to the Balmain showcase wearing what USA Today describes as “a metallic, loosely-knit dress that left little for the imagination to keep up with.” Daring, yet totally on trend, Kim’s risqué fishnet, floor-length number, which she teamed with killer black wedges, totally worked!

Well done Kim 

Kim Kardashian, we take our hats off to you! Once again, you have shown that you’re a style innovator, always looking to push the boundaries of good taste on everyone else’s behalf! We can’t wait to see how fashion brands and retailers take this soon-to-be-iconic dress and make it work on the high street! 

Rihanna the Face of Balmain

Luxe Models were pleased to see that Rihanna has now been made the face of French fashion label Balmain. The stylish singer will front the label’s ad campaign for their new spring range.

Rihanna having a bit of a sing

The new line is expected to launch across a range of titles in the new year. Olivier Rousteing, the creative director of the label, has described her as an “icon” and said that when she’s in front of the camera she makes you feel like she’s the only girl in the world. Lol, what a joker.

The ads have been shot in New York by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vindooh Matadin, styled by Mel Ottenburg, personal stylish to Rihanna.

Rihanna, who recently flashed a bit of nip, was spotted last week sporting a sassy new do at Marquee nightclub in New York. Her corkscrew curls were piled all over her charming head in a delightfully messy tousle. And with all those adjectives, how could it be anything but perfect? She’s currently at the top of the US Billboard chart with Monster, her hit single with none other than the comeback king himself, Eminem.

Rihanna shared a few of her favourite shots from the campaign on her Instagram account this week and everyone at Luxe Models agrees, they look better than average! Kidding, they’re fantastic! Thankfully there’s not an escaped nipple in sight.

The Umbrella singer is no stranger to the fashion world, having launched her own fashion range for River Island as well as modelling for Armani last year. We’re certainly looking forward to the rest of these shots and would love to know your thoughts on Rihanna’s foray into modelling!
