Inspired: Chanel's Dimensional Blooms

I just stumbled across images from the Chanel Spring/Summer Haute Couture show at Paris Fashion Week, which was utterly dreamlike, like a giant pop-up book of bursting, white, paper blooms. An arrangement of 7,000 paper roses, daises, petals, and leaves wound their way around the Pavillon Cambon Capucines, which took a total of 4,800 hours to assemble. While I'd simply die and go to heaven to Read more

Paris Fashion Week Beauty: The Haute Hits and Misses

And so, Paris Fashion Week comes to a close. Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen — OK, especially McQueen — all showed their visions for Fall 2009. Since Parisian shows tend to be more over-the-top and wildly creative than their New York counterparts, there's plenty to see here. If the trends translate to the sidewalk from the runway, expect to see matte red lips and updos galore Read more

Photos of Kate Moss and Jaime Hince Doing Some Partying With Fendi During Fashion Week

Kate Moss left the Ritz hotel in Paris this afternoon after yet another evening of parties. She wore a silver gown to walk the red carpet with a dressed up Jamie at Fendi's VIP party last night, where Kate downed a couple drinks and danced while watching Beth Ditto perform on stage. In typical Kate style, it seems like she's enjoying the bashes more than the actual clothes during Fall Fashion Read more

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. Splattered and cosmic prints also tickled the eyes. Volume, Read more

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. Comme des Garçons, Maison Martin Margiela, Manish Arora (who often provides costumes for Katy Perry), and Viktor & Rolf are some of the orchestrators who liven up the Parisian catwalks. Face paint, fuzzy helmets, Read more

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. It's like that scary movie — Hellraiser? — you can't look away from but makes your hair Read more

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. The Read more
