2008 spawned a tremendous flurry of fabulous Fashion Week shows. Let's see, there were New York Fall and Spring shows, Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, and LA Fashion Week. Oh, and don't forget all of the ravishing Resort and Pre-Fall collections. Some of my faves were Proenza Schouler's Fall line, Alexander Wang's Spring offerings, and Balmain's Spring collection in Paris. All different, all divine. Which were your favorites? Jog your memory, and check out all of our 2008 Fashion Week coverage.

Fashion Week's Most Fab Attendees

Who, what, where (or wear)?

Fashion Week's Most Fab Attendees

Who, what, where (or wear)? These are the questions people had running through their heads when the Spring Fashion Weeks were in effect. We were mostly focusing on the clothes rather than who dominated the front rows, but let us also dissect the guests. Editors, celebrities, and models get invited to the shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. One lady who always looked amazing was Carine Roitfeld. Here, at the Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris, the Vogue Paris editor gave new meaning to the term power suit. The serious glare also helps. See who else graced us with their fashionable presence over the past month . . .

Trend Alert: Wrinkle in Time

Or should I say wrinkle in a time machine?

Or should I say wrinkle in a time machine? This 1980s hairstyle often pops up here and there, reminding us that crinkly, crimpy hair will probably never die.

Featured in several shows from Paris to London to New York, the style ranged from severe Christian Dior (upper left) to a more straight down, everyday style à la Christian Lacroix, Ruffian, and Karen Walker. For good measure, Jenny Packham added her own simple updo version, too (lower right). Maybe it's time I dig out the ol' pink crimper myself — in moderation, of course.

Giddyup girls, the Hermes runway was smokin'. And it was wasn't just because of the wrapped and slit fringed skirts, sheer overlays, and cigars. Veteran models Naomi and Stephanie galloped through their dear friend Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring show, and looked every bit amazing. You can tell from the photos that Naomi was strutting her stuff, as always. And Stephanie looks like she's having a grand time. These Hermes cowgirls made it hard for me to focus on the clothes, which were wearable, sexy, and sophisticated. Great to see you back on your stomping grounds, supers.

Kate and Kirsten Help Wrap Up the Spring Fashion Fun

The 2009 Spring fashion season came to a close in Paris last night after a whirlwind month of shows in New York, London, and Milan. Lots of stars were out to celebrate, with Emma Watson, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell taking in YSL and Chanel while Dita von Teese and Lenny Kravitz checked out Marc Jacobs's newest work at Louis Vuitton. After shopping around the city, Kate Bosworth brought her man James Rousseau to the Miu Miu show last night along with Kirsten Dunst, who is a former face of the brand. Kirsten also made time for some sightseeing, which hopefully kept her mind off the less-than-stellar opening of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Louis Vuitton

Severe plumage. Lavish layering. Exotic undertones.

Severe plumage. Lavish layering. Exotic undertones. Intrigued? You should be. Marc Jacobs's Spring collection for Louis Vuitton is eye candy at its best. Much like his Spring namesake collection, this delivery is maximist. Pick and choose from an array of luxurious delights and make Louis Vuitton a look all your own.I'm swooning over the banded and heavily embellished dresses, the sharp-shouldered blazers (not sick of them yet, no), the quirky separates, and the semi-ridiculous accessories. And the plumage! And the colors! And with a chic Parisian flair. While many folks pared things down given the economic uncertainty, Vuitton delivered a high-octane carnival of clothes.
