BellaSugar — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 08:00:11 PST

Paris Haute Couture was a whirlwind of wild clothes, beautiful styling, and unexpected combinations, but of everything that came down the runway, only a few looks are destined to stick in the minds of the style-makers who decide what makeup shades and hairstyles will be on the street a few months from now. The looks here made the cut, either because they're just too gorgeous to pass up or too wild to forget. Ready to get a little crazy/beautiful? Then just click through.

Is Hair Art Actual Art?

BellaSugar — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 12:00:11 PST

Paris is the high cathedral of haute looks, one of the cities where fashion is as much a fine art as a business, but clothes aren't the only quotidian part of getting ready that the designing minds take to creative extremes. Looking at the hairstyles from Jean Paul Gaultier's collection this morning, I was reminded just how much an art hairstyling can be in the right hands and what a vital form of self-expression it is for many people. But what do you think? Should we appreciate hairstyling as an art, the same way we do sculpture or theater, or is that just silly?

Love It or Hate It: Funny Valentine Hair at Chanel

BellaSugar — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:00:11 PST

Today in Paris, models at the Chanel show walked the runway wearing these massive heart-shaped updos covered in Victorian bric-a-brac that made them look like old-fashioned Valentine's Day cards. I'm digging it, but what do you think? Adorable inventiveness on Karl Lagerfeld's part, or just another weird haute couture look?

Love It or Hate It: Bicolored Hair at Paris Fashion Week

BellaSugar — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:00:11 PST

Paris Fashion Week is off to a haute start today, with shows from Dior, Christophe Josse, Josephus Thimister, and Alexis Mabille. It's already looking like we've got a wild season ahead for hair if the look at Mabille's show is any indication. The models all had half their hair "dyed" (they were really glue-in hair extensions) in DayGlo hues, from bright pink and blue to this life jacket yellow. The other half of their hair was left natural. It was an interesting look, and definitely a bold choice, but would you ever want to see it come off the runway?

10 Fashion Observations, Straight From Paris

My recent trip to Paris left me inundated with chic fashion observations. Whether I was window shopping on Rue Saint-Honoré or strolling down Rue St. Germain, I would always spot a cool trend, another form of inspiration for my closet. Left and right, effortlessly gorgeous women on bikes and on foot would stop me dead in my tracks. It's a mystery how they don't brush their hair and barely wear makeup, but look so damn good. Bella, any ideas? Fashion-wise, we all know that Parisians love, love, love black. Even visitors, like L'Uomo Vogue editor Giovanna Battaglia, get sucked into the black hole when they go. Curious to know my other Paris fashion observations? Entrer!

More than a few designers opted for simple, low-key looks that make the most of what you've already got. Read on to see some of the wonderful and wildest looks from the week.

Freaky or Fabulous? Giles's Spring Spiders

FabSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:50:22 PDT

For his Spring '10 runway show at Paris Fashion Week, Giles Deacon delivered a colorful and quirky collection filled with prom-inspired dresses, metallic pants, and see-through gowns. However, it was the abundance of creepy, crawly spiders that induced my fear. Indeed, I suffer from slight arachnophobia (although I guess I don't mind daddy longlegs, they eat other bugs, right?). And so, I don't understand why anyone would want to have a furry, eight-legged creature hanging off her chest. Maybe there are some fashionphiles out there that share Giles's love for spiders, just not me. Freaky or fabulous?

Unicorns Spotted at Paris Fashion Week . . . Or Is That a Dino?!

PetSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:00:12 PDT

My pal FabSugar told me about the maybe freaky, maybe fabulous spiders in the Giles show at Paris Fashion Week . . . and mentioned the plush purses carried by the models. At first glance, I thought it was a dinosaur of some sort but then I was thinking maybe it was a unicorn (or even a rhino) wearing a popped collar cape - it's open for interpretation and I'm thinking only Mr. Deacon knows for sure, but place your pets on the wild bags toted below.
