Valentino’s Autumn and Winter collection includes gowns comprised of the colors navy, a somewhat dirtied rose, apricot, red, and even some burnt yellow. Intricate, Japanese inspired floral embroidery is presented on the fine silk and sheer chiffon garments. Just as well, this years collection was mainly focused on the aspect of shape and color; chic, slim figured dresses with a high neck, swelled sleeves, raised waist, and gem-like hues. The line is a modern undertake of the traditional with its warmed winter colors of pink, yellow, and red. 
The Autumn/Winter collection for Dior is a modern twist on the traditional outlook of winter clothing. Using sheer and tweed weaves along with floral prints (similar to Valentino), Dior succeeded on taking even the dullest of colors and brighting it up with color block, winged eye makeup of blue and lip color of scarlet. Peplum was along with the trends used over narrow-legged trousers and pencil skirts. Recurring colors from the Valentino collection of rose, navy, and red appeared multiple times in the fabric and embroidery. Chunky crystal chokers and bracelets alongside extravagant fur were extravagant dressings, causing a dramatic effect to the entire show.
