Paris Fashion Week: Moody Times, Bright Signs

Designers at Paris Fashion Week have born the burden of making sense out of a season that, thus far, lacked a cohesive creative direction. With the dark cloud of the economic forecast hovering overhead, the mood was mirrored by cranky editors, steel gray skies and sputtering rain that weighed on the spirit of the week. But amid this gloom, several collections showed off bright signs—a welcome message from Paris to the world.

Gareth Pugh decamped from London to show in Paris for the first time. His impeccably produced, Edwardian-influenced collection pulled in a wide international audience to witness his over-the-top showmanship—a worthy gamble that created an entertaining diversion at the start of the week.  read more »

Lanvin Welcomes Kinee Back

Kinee Diouf, Lanvin Spring 2009

So, so nice to see model Kinee Diouf (major) back on the Lanvin runway after seasons. We remember her from the Spring 2007 show with those silver hoops and layers of neck gear in a pewter black satin dress. Well... she obviously left a lasting impression on Mr. Elbaz, because if you fast-forward to Spring 2009 she is wearing a very similar dress in the recent show in Paris! Same hair, same sleek prowl, effortless! Lets hope Lanvin keeps her coming in seasons to come. I'm so obsessed with her!
