Fashion Week: Viva La Paris!

Paris, the city of romance and love. One of the world’s leading tourist attractions, with 45 million tourists every year. There is no surprise that Paris, in terms of fashion, is one of the big four. The other prominent cities include, Milan, New York City, London.

During fashion week, it is a showcase of people with different styles, yet with the similar interest-Fashion. It is almost like a masquerade party whereby fashionistas parade around in almost flawless style.

In major fashion capitals, Fashion week are semiannual events, which January through March designers showcase their autumn/winter collections and September through November the Spring/Summer collections are showcased.

This is where and when the future of fashion is depicted and the highlight for every fashion lover.

Here is my list of the best of the best from Paris Fashion Week 2009.
First up, Alexander McQueen.




McQueen’s audience was left in awe as he delivers yet another spectacular show. Harsh makeup was used and the runway was staged in a very theatrical style. Almost like watching art in clothes form. The models were all absolutely well rehearsed. They kind of have an understanding of McQueen's ideas leading to every move having translated McQueen’s designs into life. McQueen is implying digs at past fashion masters and also incorporated recycling into his designs. (below)

Next was Balenciaga.

He introduced jackets and tops with embroideries so fine and detailed they are able to pass off as prints on the runway. He worked drapery into skirts and pants, using silk-ribbon like fabrics, creating hot and feminine looks for this season.

Balmain once again proved his worth.



Christophe Decarnin is arguably the master of the shoulder pads. He establishes his jackets yet again, reaffirming on the shoulder pad trend. Swaroski crystals spattered T-shirts and ultra mini dresses and skirts were showcased alongside with new shapes for the harem pants.

Paris fashion week is the essential guide to fashion.
