PARIS FASHION WEEK ` Favorite Looks

PARIS FASHION WEEK. What else is there more to say? 

And we certainly can't forget Gisele ending the show for Givenchy:

[ insane! ]

Needless to say, all of these runway looks are MAJOR.  It was impossible to put together all of my favorite looks from Paris Fashion Week, but I think these do a good job, right? 

[just a little round up]

Balmain basically has my name written ALL over it. I'm OBSESSED.  Stella McCartney, with the mixed prints and embroidery, her line is perfect for summer. Color-blocking with both Balenciaga and Yves Saint Laurent, is something to keep doing for next Spring! Also to mention with YSL the crazy prints + the color palette = genius! 

Oh, Alexander McQueen. Every intricate detail that Sarah Burton designed on these dresses are literally INSANE.  Basing her collection on three G's: Gres for the pleating and draping, Gaia for the sense of oceanic life, and Gaudi for architecture. Burton reached these three G's perfectly in her line.  

McQueen wasn't the only one with an 'oceanic' feel.  We can also bring in Chanel into this theme.  With the runway being filled with white sea shells, sea horses, and more, Lagerfeld didn't disappoint [as always] and put on a killer show. The light colors, the type of fabric [which as a shimmer to it], and amazing outfits bring the whole show together. Lagerfeld gets another A+ in my books. LOVE LOVE it.

Marc Jacobs is genius, and he did it once again at Louis Vuitton for the finale show. All the minty, candy-colored outfits made this show fun. With the 3-D paillettes on the dresses along with the tweed skirt suits, why not add feathers to them? Completely in love.

One day, one day, I will be at Paris Fashion Week. Simply breathtaking...everything!

Oh and one more thing, how killer are Elie Saab's dresses?

Ok, I'm done talking. Now, YOU tell me what is your favorite! I want to hear!

SAVAGE BEAUTY

For next year, the MET Museum in New York City has announced their theme for their Costume Institute Gala.  They have chosen to dedicate their theme to the great late-British fashion designer: the fabulous one and only, Alexander McQueen: "Savage Beauty" will be on display at the MET from May 4, 2011-July 31, 2011. This exhibit will show all of his works since his days as a postgraduate (in 1992) at Central Saint Martins to his final show from this past February 2010, which will include 100 pieces of his to be displayed- How fabulous.  Lee McQueen, you will always be one to inspire me! Time to look at some of his amazing work over the past years...

     

   

     

Oui Oui..

As we all know, Paris Fashion Week has just passed, and don't we all wish we could have attended all of the AH-MAZING fashion shows! Ohhh, one day, hopefully that will happen.  One very anticipated show during Paris Fashion Week was for the late-Alexander McQueen.  Sarah Burton, the current designer for McQueen, did an excellent job in filling in his shoes.  This line was to DIE for.  Absolutely loved it.

Now, having the amaaazing Mr. Marc Jacobs as the designer for Louis Vuitton - you know that the show will never be dull.  The new Spring 2011 line for Louis Vuitton was phenomenal! Marc Jacobs gave off a fun vibe off to the crowd.  Having his line inspired by a Susan Sontag essay: "The relationship between boredom and camp taste cannot be overestimated," shows you can never underestimate one of the most FABULOUS designers of all time: Marc Jacobs.  Marc, you still continue to AMAZE me with all of your designs and shows. 

I LOVE YOU MARC JACOBS.
