Paris Fashion Week Top Four

Now that the big 4 fashion weeks, London, Milan, New York and Paris are over, we give you our top 4 picks from the Paris runway shows.


Alexander McQueen
McQueen’s dreamy collection lives on with the ever-talented Sarah Burton. Bold and structured silhouettes continue to be standard at the house of McQueen. This collection continues to be breath taking walking pieces of art and is enjoyed every season.





Valentino
Valentino, who we love, presented stunning feminine gowns in floor length lace and pretty pleated chiffon looks.




Chanel
Dark, smoky and elegant was Chanel theme for A/W’11. Lagerfield captured our attention with plenty of sheer hitting the black rock-lined catwalk. It was a dark and steamy affair from Chanel for A/W’11.



Louis Vuitton
The theme for Louis Vuitton’s show was a fantastic hotel lobby. We adored Kate Moss’ as she paraded down in the finale. Very tailored coats and ladylike dresses had fantastic catwalk appeal.

Bloggers Take Over Front Row At Fashion Week

So when an unknown 13-year-old blogger was sitting front –row at Marc Jacobs, Rodarte & others – long time front row socialites and Journalist feathers were completely ruffled. A 13 –year old, yes and her name Tavi Gevinson, the author of a blog called Style Rookie. This little lady is in high demand filming promotions for Target and flown to Tokyo for a party with Comme Des Garcons.

Old media -vs- new media, the traditional style of Fashion Journalism are being tossed out of the window and replaced by bloggers. Every day fashion enthusiasts are reporting at the shows with strong opinions. Insidethetents.com is the home of over 80 independent Fashion Journalist reporting at the New York Shows. In 2010 expect to see more Bloggers sitting next to you on the front row!

Lacoste S/S 2010

A safe Spring with a lemon finish. The Lacoste collection was classic sports wear at it's best. Lacoste has mastered the art of wearable sportswear for the masses. We enjoyed the black and white and shades of blue. The yellow sunburst was a spectacular finale. We love Lacoste Spring/Summer 2010.

Julie Haus s/s 2010

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We have to say that Julie Haus Spring 2010 definitely has great potential. The Circus there was quite a variety in fabrics and designs, and we assume that the “shoes” were to bring attention to the clothing, because it definitely turned our eyes upward! It was a tumultuous sea of emotions.

We are big fans of lace—truly we are. HOWEVER, the “Burlesque-inspired” came off as 80’s Madonna-inspired. This is the ultimate proof that history is repeating itself— Fashion Week is no exception. The Burlesque is being ruminated entirely too much to not have evolved into something great. We encourage innovation.

On the other hand, we love the idea of a Dark Spring. The Wheeler Trouser really complemented the tank. The jumpers and rompers caught our attention. In this portion, there was so much variety that it definitely brought a “wow” factor. When we saw the Hannah Romper, we couldn’t help but smile. It was something different. Everything thereafter had something to it. Within the Charlie Chaplin “Circus” spectrum, there was variety.

We left Julie Haus wanting more, and not because we didn’t get enough; we wanted more because we couldn’t get enough of what we saw. nyfw

Sneak Peek at Rebecca Taylor Spring 2010

The Rebecca Taylor girl for spring explores urban femininity. She works, lives and plays in the city. Towering printed sandals and architectural structured stretch dresses are softened with femme corset-inspired bustiers and flippy, fun, pull on printed skirts. Spring 2010 encompasses playful use of colors, prints and textures. The palette is intense with shades of big apple reds, shocking pinks, electric blues, and retro jades contrasted with desert tans and soft, peachy oranges. Sharper than seasons past, strong shoulders and a new, waisted silhouette enhance the look our girl wantonly craves. NYFW
