Karl Lagerfeld’s final collection for Chanel was presented in a winter wonderland of his imagination, complete with vast, snowy mountains and wooden chalets. The accessories played on the alpine theme: shearling trimmed bags, furry backpacks, logo hair clips in the shapes of snowflakes and luxurious leather scarf bandanas. Alongside myriad logo jewels, from earrings featuring the double C logo to long black and white pearl necklaces that spelled out the brand’s name, they highlighted the late designer’s savvy in playing with the brand’s codes and maintaining their relevance season after season. — Natalie Theodosi

Gaia Repossi presented her label’s new Blast collection which included rings and a cuff formed by thick stacks of gold rings punctuated by a large diamond on one end, as if they were floating. “It’s a rhythm, a repetition of rings — it’s not playful but rather strict,” she said. The Lebe collection featured sautoir necklaces with straight, diamond-encrusted links that could be shortened. She added extra touches of color in the form of large, square-cut yellow diamonds. The latest addition to the Bebere collection was a stunner: A necklace featuring a series of discs in the label’s signature, darkened gold that was encrusted with 2,000 diamonds, totaling 40 carats. — Mimosa Spencer

It was all pearls, gold and diamonds for Delfina Delettrez, who worked these three elements into a delicate and slightly punk line-up, twisting the classics to fit a younger crowd. “Consumers are spoiled, they always want something new. But I think nothing is more beautiful than classics tha can travel through time and not necessarily be stuck on trends of the moment,” said the designer. The collection included nose jewelry, including pear-cut diamonds meant to sit between the nostrils. The designer plans to push into higher ground, for a collection she plans to present during the haute couture shows in July. — Mimosa Spencer

Demna Gvasalia shared his vision of “the real Parisian of today” for fall. Far removed from the romantic stereotypes often attached to the fashion capital, Gvasalia focused on Paris as a buzzing metropolis and Parisians’ common daily activities, hence the brown-paper grocery bag shapes done in leather and stamped with a logo resembling the one for “bio,” or organic, products in France. He also added his wry humor on the Eiffel Tower rings that featured throughout in the lineup and “I love Paris” prints splattered all over small, crossbody bags. — Natalie Theodosi

Fabrizio Viti has his sites on the red carpet. “Stylists are coming to us more and more asking for platforms to team with long evening gowns,” said the Louis Vuitton shoe designer, during his fall presentation at Paris’ Crillon hotel. Bi-colored versions in luxe satin sported Viti’s signature bow to the rear — great for making an entrance, better still a flamboyant exit. — Stephanie Hirschmiller

At Loewe, Jonathan Anderson wanted to “reduce things” to purer, simpler forms. In the handbag department, this was translated into an array of minimalist satchels in beige and black hues, such as this leather and suede version here. However, Anderson didn’t stop playing with contrasts and paired his modernist creations with more decorative elements such as metal fringing or feather headbands. — Natalie Theodosi
Best Accessories for Fall 2019 from Fashion Week: Alexandre Birman

Alexandre Birman went all out on animal prints with plenty of leopard, tiger and zebra print variants – sometimes fusing all three into a patchwork effect one shoe or boot and adding a couple of slashes of PVC for good measure. Elsewhere, he used exotic skins such as gold painted python which came in a high heeled Western silhouette. “Animalia matches everything,” he said. — Stephanie Hirschmiller

Natasha Ramsay-Levi paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld in her fall 2019 collection and had his mantra of using fashion to “transform the everyday into a fairy tale” in mind. That’s why she sprinkled lucky charms and talismans across the range, including a horseshoe pendant necklace with goat hair and shark tooth charms that is bound to be a retail hit. Feathers were also added onto the brand’s signature ‘Tess’ cross-body bags, while an oversize clutch was done in a deep purple fur, adding a bolder, more playful dimension to this season’s Chloé girl. — Natalie Theodosi

Gherardo Felloni enlisted some live wolves to give things a little extra bite at Roger Vivier’s fall 2019 presentation. The designer commandeered an imposing Parisian mansion and themed each room on a dream. Said wolves (accompanied by highly trained handlers) roamed amid an enchanted forest, though this particular fairytale had a happy ending in that both guests and Felloni’s new Virgule pump emerged unscathed. The new style was a reinterpretation of an archive shape and came with asymmetric strap or as a Mary Jane complete with exploded bow. Another collection highlight was a new rodeo boot silhouette. “I am obsessed with country and Western singers,” said Felloni, “so I decided to do a couture cowboy boot with a strass buckle.” — Stephanie Hirschmiller

When it comes to footwear, Tabitha Simmons wrote the playbook on the XY mix. This season’s star attraction was her new Ferrin boot. The Victoriana inspired mid-heel lace-up is finished with a flourish of vintage grosgrain just like a tuxedo – the designer sourced the ribbon from an old school haberdashery in Paris so when it’s gone it’s gone. Elsewhere were brogue inspired laser-cut styles with pretty scalloped edges while signature Simmons’ silhouettes such as the Levi boot and Hermione flat were reimagined in menswear fabrics like herringbone and jacquard. The latter came in a floral weave which Simmons named ‘Climbing Violet’ after her one-year-old daughter. She also updated Duchess of Sussex favorite, the Millie slingback, in sizzling python and a more demure, and royal-approp, shade of blush. — Stephanie Hirschmiller

Virgil Abloh went all out with the motor racing theme for his fall 2019 collection, decorating sweaters, blouses and accessories with check patterns. Among the standouts was a pair of elegant structured totes featuring flaps in black-and-white check patterns, that highlighted Abloh’s gradual move away from sportswear. The models were also holding the bags in pairs — a nod to the street style trend that has been emerging this season, of layering your bags just as much as your jewelry. — Natalie Theodosi

During a party to celebrate his fall 2019 collection, Christian Louboutin recalled a night at legendary Parisian club The Palace where he’d been a little worse for wear: “I fell down the stairs and landed right at the feet of Yves Saint Laurent,” he said.

The latter drew inspiration from his wild party nights. Elsewhere stripes took center stage with dramatic bandstand boots and rainbow colored platform wedges. — Stephanie Hirschmiller

The designer delivered some dynamic platform ankle boots to which he applied his signature abstract graphics. “It’s a real Seventies Biba moment: Chunky and big so in comparison the legs appear thinner and longer,” he said. “The stripes give it a trompe l’œil effect, so you look as if you are wearing a sandal with socks.” — Stephanie Hirschmiller

They came in bright fuchsia or yellow shades and even though they might have zero function, they are proving to be Instagram gold for the brand. — Natalie Theodosi

Olga Djanguirov was in a regal mood and employed a crown motif, fashioned in diamanté and pearls, throughout her fall collection. “I’ve been obsessed with crowns my whole life. But while I used to think the motif was a little old fashioned, now with the new pregnant princess (she was referring to Meghan Markle), it’s become much more interesting,” she said. Elsewhere, she upped her luxury game with opulent mink insoles on sandals, slides and mules with sequinned appliqué, created by Chanel-owned atelier Lésage. — Stephanie Hirschmiller
