Days 3 & 4 of Paris fashion week spring summer 2013 ready-to-wear continue to look heavy and dark. While every collection seemed to feature a more than healthy dose of pieces in black, there was also a fair amount of pieces in beautiful spring colors. I have to say, as much as I adore black, this was something I was very happy to see. After all, these are spring collections. Some collections also featured beautiful fabrics in a variety of textures and elaborate decorative details in beading, leather, appliques and metal accents. Shorter hems and body hugging silhouettes created a look that was both sexy and sophisticated but not the least bit cheap. Perfect for today’s modern woman. Here are a few of my favorite looks.
