2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week
The 15 Most Talked-About Looks From Paris Fashion Week
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?
Is Hair Art Actual Art?
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?
Love It or Hate It: Funny Valentine Hair at Chanel
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
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.

Are You Excited For the Return of the Kitten Heel?
Marc Jacobs had a lot of fun in Paris for the Louis Vuitton Spring show, where models strutted down the catwalk with Afro hair and oversize accessories. The show must have felt like a relief for some of the girls as fears of tripping over were lessened with kitten heel shoes! After many seasons of sky-high heels and several slipups, the tides are changing and smaller platforms are back en mode.
Fab Con: Leigh Lezark
Leigh Lezark has earned herself a lot of designer brownie points over the past month or show as she has attended many fashion shows across the globe. She started off in her home city of New York as she was spotted front row at Max Azria, Preen, and Herve Leger to name a few.
