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!

Moss married... And in Galliano!


Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton... there's a new bride stealing the spotlight: Fashion royalty, fabulous Kate Moss got married to rocker Jamie Hince TODAY! I'm so excited. The thing didn't go without a hint of scandal, of course. She wore a custom made Galliano. Does this mean he's officially forgiven by the fashion-verse? Kate appears to have granted him a royal pardon.

Paris Fashion Week FW 11-12 Part 3

The devil's work at Viktor & Rolf. Stiff and armor-like outfits. Very V&R!






A little more of the usual in Valentino...





Miu Miu's 80's craze!




I'm liking Louis Vuitton less each time... Some of these looks remind me of Britney Spears in Womanizer. The rest are ok at their very best.






In the midst of the drama surrounding his name, Galliano's genius raises to the occasion and a beautiful collection is presented, despite everything else. His favorite decade, the 20s, revisited.





And to wrap up the post, Elie Saab. Some dresses a bit Lanvin-esque, but otherwise a pretty average collection. Nothing mind blowing there.






Next time, Paris fashion week wrap up!
