Couture Week came and went — did you follow our exciting coverage? Since we couldn't be there live, I asked you to make believe we're all invited to sit front row, smack dab in the middle of all the fashion madness. Did you construct an outfit that would knock everyone's socks off? Let's find out!

I started you off with these Alexander McQueen Star Platforms ($799) because couture requires sexy, whimsical theatrics.


Look #1, created by Zivanod, is front-row appropriate — love that Rick Owens top.

See the rest.

Shopping: The Cult of Rick Owens

A new collection from Rick Owens hit Net-a-Porter this morning, which means you can find the latest crop of his beloved, monochromatic pieces—extra-long cashmere sweaters, draped jersey tops, and buttery soft leather jackets with perfectly skinny arms.

A new collection from Rick Owens hit Net-a-Porter this morning, which means you can find the latest crop of his beloved, monochromatic pieces—extra-long cashmere sweaters, draped jersey tops, and buttery soft leather jackets with perfectly skinny arms. Filed under new and noteworthy, Owens lightens things up this season with a firework-printed silk fabric used for cowl-neck dresses (both long and short) and a floor-sweeping skirt. Should you find yourself feeling sticker shock, try the lower-priced, more relaxed look of Rick Owens Lilies.

Shopping: Statement Winter Coats

Although not exactly budget friendly, these four statement coats are ideal rivals to winter's ubiquitous black overcoat.

Although not exactly budget friendly, these four statement coats are ideal rivals to winter's ubiquitous black overcoat. This season we'll be taking inspiration from Preen's shearling fur details, Halston's cape-style coat and obi belt, and Rick Owens' strong leather shoulders.

Rick Owens Sticks to Black, White, Gray, and Nude, But Brings Back Models of Color for Spring 2010

>> This evening at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts, Rick Owens had a bit of a seating situation, leaving a number of guests standing and unhappy.  One editor reportedly decided "standing is the new front row," and WWD later noted: "If you’ve outgrown your venue, move on.

>> This evening at the Ecole Des Beaux Arts, Rick Owens had a bit of a seating situation, leaving a number of guests standing and unhappy.  One editor reportedly decided "standing is the new front row," and WWD later noted: "If you’ve outgrown your venue, move on. Otherwise, there’s no excuse for double-booking seat upon seat."

To a soundtrack of crashing waves and with Gareth Pugh front row (Owens attended Pugh's show yesterday), a stream of sculptural shoulderpieces, long loincloth-like skirts, slicked back hair (glue sticks were used to keep it in place) and crinkled metallic bubble dresses exited backstage. Suvi Koponen made her first appearance since her smattering of shows at New York Fashion Week, but most striking was Owens's sudden casting of models of color — Georgie Baddiel, Kinee Diouf, Aminata Niaria, and Rose Cordero all made appearances; his shows have been entirely whitewashed since the Spring 2005 season, when he also cast four black models.

Great Expectations at Paris Fashion Week

The most exciting week of fashion is upon us.
Great Expectations at Paris Fashion Week

The most exciting week of fashion is upon us. Don't get me wrong — New York Fashion Week always inspires, but Paris just seems . . . magical. WWD offered a behind-the-scenes look at some of the fashion houses last-minute musings. I can already tell Isabel Marant will make us swoon all over again with hot-pink tunics and fringed and studded boots. Everyone's talking about Peter Copping's first collection for Nina Ricci (showing tonight). And the brilliant Viktor & Rolf are gonna go all Texas Chainsaw Massacre on a too-perfect gown. Can't wait? Neither can I!

It not only kept her cozy, but it also tempered the girly print on her maxi dress. If you're looking to add an extra spark of bad to your 'fit, this is how you do it.


Rag & Bone

>> Rick Owens Isn't Concerned with Being Copied —Designers are having a Rick Owens moment, New York Times's Ruth La Ferla asserts today, from Rag & Bone to Ohne Titel.

>> Rick Owens Isn't Concerned with Being Copied —Designers are having a Rick Owens moment, New York Times's Ruth La Ferla asserts today, from Rag & Bone to Ohne Titel. It makes sense, Karlo Steel, partner at Atelier boutique in New York: “We’re coming out of a period that was very flamboyant. Fashion’s pendulum is swinging away from that now in a direction that is a bit anti-material.”  Owens, for his part, took little heed at the thought — “when something’s in the air, no one can really own it" — except to say: "Suffice to say that it’s motivation for me to do my best to move forward.” [NY Times]
