2009 Paris Fashion Week

Celebrity Style: Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung hit the Paris fashion circuit looking casually sexy at the Louis Vuitton show. The European stylista wore a long navy cardigan, black hose, and standout Luxotica-inspired Louis Vuitton platform sandals. A dainty star necklace and silver ring complete her perfectly messy ensemble.
2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Louis Vuitton
As Paris Fashion Week bids us adieu, Marc Jacobs fashioned a feast of a finale. With an eclectic mix of baroque, volume, and — you guessed it — the '80s, Fall's Vuitton babe is divinely decked. This collection was not shy on color; crimson, canary yellow, salmon, and emerald created a robust palette, while nude and black balanced.
The Monsters of Paris Fashion Week
Paris Fashion Week is no stranger to the avant-garde. In the fashion capital, the crazier, the better. But some designers take the concept of fashion-forward to a whole new level.
Freaky or Fabulous: McQueen's Mental Runway
Alexander McQueen is one designer who always manages to be both freaky and fabulous. However, the harsh tone with his Fall collection, for me, veered on the hellish side of freaky. Craftsmanship and wow-factor will never be sacrificed, but these creations were something out of a Matthew Barney feature.
2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Givenchy
No matter what Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci serves up, it's always bound to be ahead of the curve. His latest Fall '09 collection, however, is also simultaneously beautiful, thanks to feather-infested gowns and romantic draping. But it wouldn't be Givenchy if it didn't throw together a mumbo jumbo of anomalies: studs and feathers, sheer and draping, asymmetry and power suits.
Which Lady in Chanel Is Most Fab?
The Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week is always guaranteed to deliver a dose of beautiful starlets. But more important, a diverse mix. While Kate Moss got nearly mobbed entering the premises, others were able to strike a pose for the shutterbugs.
2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Emanuel Ungaro
It's always a party for super-young Ungaro designer Esteban Cortazar. You can quickly tell by his love for brights, minis, frills, and funk. Ungaro is quickly becoming my party-girl-inspired favorite.
Behind the Seams: Robert Cavalli Paris Boutique Opening Party
Roberto Cavalli has moved to Paris. His business has, that is. It's no secret the designer is all about the lavish life ("I’m a firm believer that there’s no success without excess," Cavalli said), but his 8,640-square-foot flagship is less over-the-top than originally planned.
2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Isabel Marant
I've died and gone to Isabel Marant heaven. Seriously, who could resist Marant's animal prints, hip jackets, and irresistibly soft jersey knits? For her Fall collection, the Parisian designer showed off her interpretation of laid-back sexy with a copious amount of girlie skirts, structured jackets, and sexy dresses.
2009 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Dries Van Noten
Dries continues to deliver just the right thing at just the right time. While others are delivering dark, moody collections, or '80s overload, Dries welcomed a saturated sportswear inspired by the paintings of Francis Bacon. The designer noted, "Bacon’s subjects are disturbing, but so, also, his use of color is disturbing.” The result is muted tones against vivid chartreuse, pumpkin, periwinkle, and saffron.
