Paris Fashion Week season finale

Well, to wrap this up properly, let's take a look at the last couple of days' big players. We start with Valentino. I liked this collection a lot more than I usually do. I find most of them quite average, ok, collections. This one, for me, had a couple lows, but mostly a lot of highs! I'm going to keep it positive and post only my favorite looks.

Elie Saab kept it colorful and fluid.

Louis Vuitton's carousel of pastels and flowers, call me crazy but it remainded me just a little too much of Chanel FW 08-09. Just saying... Still, some solid looks and, yes indeed, Kate Moss herself!

And the big finale! Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton blew it out of the park! I mean, look at these! The beauty of each piece. The colors, the handcraft, the feel... it's like McQueen on Prozac! So happy to look at!

Well, fashion month it's over. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!!

Paris Fashion Week: biggest batch!

Ok, so now my exams are over, I can post my highlights from the weekend and yesterday's shows. Let's get to it then! Galliano-less John Galliano show. Inspired by Mary Poppins and quite british, as usual, but lacking that je ne sais quoi the man brought to the table. I actually did like a lot the last couple of dresses. But I think Galliano is such a genius, he should be forgiven and brought back already! Kate Moss forgave him everyone else should!!

Kenzo was super colorful and fun, but somehow made me think of Balenciaga prints from a couple of seasons back. On the other hand, may be I've studied too much lately so don't listen to me. Oh! And I love the peplums in those khaki pants! (F.Y.I. Peplum is that thingy on top of it, like a mini mini skirt).

I am burnt out, but you can trust my judgement on this: Givenchy was flawless. Really. Perfect. Riccardo Tisci has seriously gotten it right. Sexy and pretty, artful and wearable. I want every look and I want to live and work in a place where I can wear that every single day of my life! ...P.S. Yes, that's Gisele in the fifth look. And, yes, she still got it.

Giambattista Valli, on the other hand, disappointed me. He had had a nice row, but he fell of his standards, in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, it was an ok collection, but there was no wow factor, if you know what I mean.

Chloé reinventing the hip. Waist is so right now, it's old. At least that's what it looks like over here. And, all very pretty and clean, as usual.

Finally, the last of the batch, Yves Saint Laurent. May I just say, bravo! The backs, the belts, the Marrakech! ...and the shoes... My god!
