Ce qui se produit à Paris?

As always, Galliano was a clear favourite (and always will be!), alongside Viktor & Rolf, Issey Miyake and Alexis Mabille. I was however, slightly disappointed with Ricardo Tisci and even Decarnin. Givenchy just didn't inspire me like it usually does, and whilst I love the toughed up punk version of Christophe Decarnin's newest offering, I couldn't help but feel the cut & shaping was just so similar to previous seasons.

Phoebe Philo was, as usual absolutely spot on with the cut & styling this season. Love the simplicity yet complex cut going on at Celine for S/S 2011.




But surprisingly, this season, it's actually Watanabe that's stolen the show(s) for me. The twisted nautical theme has such an original feel to it..how does he always manage to do that?







Sheer genius in every sense. Deconstructionist cuts never cease to amaze me.

Also; not usually being a massive fan of the typical Italian designers..(Cavalli and Versace excluded!), having just written a press release for Armani, I have to say I was quite inspired by the Femme Bleue theme!

Rue des Archives

If you're ever going to Paris and are interested in underground art and fashion, I'd highly recommend Rue des Archives. It's quite literally an archive road. The most amazing set of antiques shops and vintage book shops can be found on this beautiful little street. I went to check out an exhibition I saw a review for in Dazed & Confused - "Live Alive" at the Brachfeld Gallery. It's a collection of t-shirts designed to look like the old school classic rock t-shirts you could get from gigs like ACDC Def Leppard and Led Zep. The Rodarte is my favourite!

Au revoir..

And when I return from Paris, I promise I will get back to all the blog awards that bloggers have kindly contacted me with the last few weeks.

Bonjour Paris!

Parisian Ra

Looking into some Parisian exhibitions and galleries before my trip to Paris next week, I came across an interesting article on Dazed Digital.
Menswear fashion week saw the opening of concept store Ra, in Paris. Originally from Antwerp and only just opened in October of 2009, Ra displays an eclectic mix of fashion, music, art and culture, all in a shopping environment. The idea is described by Dazed & Confused as a "Scandinavian Alice in Wonderland with a taste for goth and geometry, about to fight a Japanese warrior in outer space", a comparison surely, like no other!
