After four cities and nearly a month-long run of runway shows, Paris Fashion week brought an end to the fall-winter 2015 collection previews. While we already took a look at New York’s fall 2015 trends as well as Milan’s, Paris designers also had their own unique offering of new styles and trends. From high-waist skinnies to groovy prints, these are the looks you will start to see everywhere in fall. Check out all of Paris trends below.

Paris Fall 2015 Trend – Groovy Prints

The 1970s struck a chord with Paris designers for fall 2015, with many labels showcasing their own take on groovy prints. From psychedelic waves to optical stripes, designers pushed the limits of taste on the runway. At Valentino, a mostly black and white collection got a little help in the color department thanks to bold, quilt-like fabrics.

Is the power dressing look back in style? At Paris Fashion Week, many designers went for a puffy sleeve look that became popular in the 1980s. The strong shoulder also creates an illusion of a smaller waist as well as a more dramatic silhouette. At Balenciaga, Alexander Wang looked to the future with a convincingly modern collection full of cocoon coats and dresses.
