From billowy-sleeved dresses to amped-up outerwear, the scene on the streets of Paris Fashion Week should be considered your fall style guide. Aside from the seemingly eternal procession of absurdly cool French girls, the final stop of the Spring 2017 shows was a “who’s who” of celebs, with Jennifer Lawrence stealing the spotlight at Dior and Tilda Swinton seated front row at Haider Ackermann. Scroll down for infinite fall style brilliance, all captured by Vogue’s Phil Oh.

SIES MARJAN: THE NEW FASHION BRAND /  by Alarick McGlory

Sies Marjan, the new fashion brand based in New York, is the center of attention because, as expected, it dominated NY’s street style during this past fashion week. Make yourself familiar now, as we’ll only be seeing more of Sies Marjan during the upcoming international fashion weeks.

Sander Lak is the 32-year-old Dutch designer responsible for Sies Marjan. He worked in the ateliers of Balmain, Marc Jacobs, and 3.1 Philip Lim before he became head of design for Dries van Noten.

Lak is certainly not afraid of color, print, or luxury. The use of bold colors, haute couture methods, optimal fabrics and artistry are basically synonymous with Sies Marjan collection. I see why everyone likes him so much!

Sies Marjan is the grouping of Lak’s parents’ names, as he wanted to pick something personal, yet still slightly obscure. The young designer explains,  “I have no interest in fame or anything that would distract me really from the job that I love doing with people that I surround myself with. It’s about that, it’s about the work we all do together.” Selflessness and modesty in the fashion industry? Now I like him even more.

You can purchase Sies Marjan from the European website: matchesfashion.com.
