Some of the most infliential designers who show during Paris Fashion Week took a look back into the designs that claimed their fame - or, at least to what they began designing after the fame came - but, does this really look into the future of fashion, or are we all being fooled...Again?

Balenciaga: To us, Balenciaga Fall 2010, was in reality Balenciaga 2007 through 2009. There wasn't anything innovative from Nicolas Ghesquiere this season, except a delicate quilted puff on what he may call outerwear and a overly designed hem that we may have seen seasons ago, walking down the Fendi catwalk. Let's not forget the Fall 2009 shoes, now available in different colors for Fall 2010 - with slight variations (think chunky block heels). Not too much change neccessary?

Givenchy: In classic Givenchy fashion we expected lace and black, and became thrilled over the fierce red lips, gloves and outerwear to compliment. But things became lazy and couture redundant, by way of voluminous feather-like skirts. In all it was a feasible bevy, but let's just say we won't rush to buy a magazine to look out for the Fall ads.

Lanvin: Alber Elbaz went very dark for fall. The hair was dark, and so were 90 percent of the looks. Lanvin's signature chic glam was expressed through overly-styled frocks and blouse/skirt combos with feathers and glitz. As always, the shoes weren't a wow-factor, but we appreciated every bit of the statement neckwear.
