We have a little catching up to do!!! Day Five came an went at Paris Fashion Week, and Yves Saint Laurent's show was predominately black, white and gray with interesting proportions thrown in. The accents of colour in bright blue, fuscia pink, bottle green and burnt orange saved the show. I love the fact that Stella McCartney opened and closed with Natalia Vodianova, a legendary model we haven't seen on the catwalk for about 4 seasons. And as her very wearable collection progressed from whites and neutral beiges into full blown floral ra-ra dresses, I couldn't help but reminisce back to her SS09 collection as well. All in all a natural progression. Vanessa Bruno followed suit in terms of colour palette, and Celine really is lucky to have design genius (of prior Chloe fame) Pheobe Philo, she's revolutionary in the simplest sense.
Day Six was less exciting than other days in Paris, the collections weren't offering anything new or intriguing. Chanel got going just like rolling out from behind the hay stack once a little more colour was introduced about 15 looks in, and Chloe's small collection seemed nothing new on last season. Valentino's pale frills and chiffon shorts were a non-event considering the previous designer and namesake has a movie out at the moment displaying him and his fabulous life and design house in all it's colourful glory. Gear change please.
