Towards the closing of Paris Fashion Week (and the end of fashion month in general), things are looking a bit better, at the least. It's not entirely fabulous - but it's not entirely repetitive either.
Chanel: We're starting to realize that the craze about the Chanel shows is obviously the decor - who cares about the clothing anymore, right? Regardless of Karl Lagerfeld possibly going over budget on a real set iceberg and water delivered from Sweden and giving Baptiste his monthly sugar daddy payoff (we get it), the clothes were just like any other Chanel show. Except that Karl felt it would be funny to add a little humor - fur. As in faux fur. The entire bevy showed faux fur, with heavy thigh-high fur retaliation to Prada's Fall 2009 galoshes. Oops!
Chloe: Can someone please explain Hannah McGibbson's obsession with loose trousers tucked into boots? And unfortunately for our eyeballs' sakes, they were snow boots. Coincidentally, the furs were divine - by way of a blend of colors. We praised Hannah's attempt to go completely minimalistic, in honor of Phoebe Philo; yet, her tacky roots soon began to show. For some odd reason, we walked away from viewing the collection wanting to instantly purchase an bright orange Hermes bag. But, whose fault is that?
Valentino: Did someone threaten design duo Pier Paolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri's jobs at Valentino? The duo has finally struck the fine balance between being successors to a legacy and taking the label into the future. Gratefully, we praised the cascade overlays which we've be dying over since New York Fashion Week.
Wunderkind: To us, this bevy was our folk fairytale escaping through a jungle safari in Africa. The colors, which were so brilliant and too attractive to be for fall, were obviously designed to earn a double take (or triple take) from a client.
