La Paris Fashion Week!

Yes, I know! My blog is more neglected than... see? I don't even have the time to think of something really neglected to compare it to! But I can't resist Paris Fashion Week!! So, even though I'm in the middle of my exams, I feel compelled to, at least, post my favorite looks so far. Here they go.

Let's start with Balmain. Olivier Rousteing, who used to work under Decarnin, until his departure last February, took the reins of the house and delivered this. Well, I have to admit I like it, the hand craft is amazing, the looks are cool... but they're more of the same. It's Decarnin's old formula with a western touch. It's good, but lacks imagination.

I loved the last dresses at Nina Ricci. Don't have much to say about the rest of the collection though.

I really liked Balenciaga! Marked waist, bloated all over, short shorts, and the hat!! That hat is to die for.

Gareth Pugh's impossibly strong woman. I loved it. I can't see myself (or anyone) wearing most of the stuff, but it was a great show.

And, the last of the batch, Mugler. I actually liked a lot of the looks and would like to wear them, but I'm sick and tired of Nicola Formichetti clinging to his friendship with Lady Gaga every season! Get over yourself. The show opened with a short video of Gaga saying "I am a Mugler woman, don't fuck with me (...) we are Paris", and the models walked to a remix of Gaga's Black Jesus. You know I love Gaga, but come on. Enough is enough.

Well, that's it for the day. I hope I can post soon on Paris' finest. I already have my eye on some Lanvin dresses for you! Until next time.

Paris Fashion Week FW 11-12

Yes, I know, between New York and Paris there is London and then Milan! But I'm in exams and I'd much rather post about Paris!! Honestly, this season was the hardest not to be up there... Lady Gaga walked in Mugler! I would've given my right arm to see that!! The brand is making a very clear comeback. We saw it starting at the men's fashion week and this just confirms it.



Now, more gossip! Balmain's Christophe Decarnin supposedly had nothing to do with this collection because apparently he's been at a mental institution since January after suffering a nervous breakdown. Still a Decarnin-ish collection, with the shoulders a bit toned down. I like it... just reaaally hate the white shoes!




Balenciaga it's always weird in a good way... I still have my mind torn with this one: is it weird good or just weird? Judge for yourselves.




Always chic and wearable Celine. I loved the LBD!




And for the grand finale (of the post), Chanel. Karl went from white and sweet in the couture collection all the way to black and smoky. I just have to say, me likey! Karl's back! Disclaimer: I hate kitten heels. Truly detest them.





That's it for part 1. Part 2 soon to come!
