Ann Demeulemeester: Ann didn't seem very "Ann" to us - which we blame on the feathers shown above. But, we will say that her drastic contrast between black and every other color designers didn't use this season red was strikingly approachable. Though, once dissected and sans styling expertise, will we still be in love with the bevy?
Junya Watanabe: Ridiculous hair set the pace at Junya Watanabe. Everything was chic military and green, but Junya differentiated from the rest though lengths and annoying technical detailing (that we actually liked). There was an extreme lack of femininity all around, but it served to intrigue us.

Want your look to make a statement with one accessory? You can pretty much count on Chloe for an “it” bag. A standout bag from their fall collection is a tubular shoulder bag with a chain handle, tassels and abstract metallic flower embellishments. Plus, the body of the bag itself is comprised of leather disks, creating an interesting and new texture and silhouette.
Texture also played an important role in the bags shown at Fendi. Leather, fur and skins embellished with semiprecious stones on structured frames made for a very luxurious accessory. Other labels to look at for a statement bag include Christian Lacroix, Salvatore Ferragamo, Chanel and Sonia Rykiel. Consider interesting embellishments like stones, metals or chains as well as innovative silhouettes and luxurious materials for the key elements.
He’s been named British Designer of the Year three times, so it’s natural for the French to want to get in on John Galliano. French President and Legion of Honour Grand Master Nicolas Sarkozy will bestow the Chevalier medal upon Galliano. Although he came from humble origins, born in British territory Gibraltar to a local father and Spanish mother, Galliano rose to take the fashion world by storm and continues to do so today. Upon being knighted, Galliano will join fellow designers Sonia Rykiel, Azzedine Alaia and Yves Saint Laurent, who all belong to the prestigious order. Galliano recently released his first-ever fragrance and will continue to head up Christian Dior as well as his own label.
