Paris Is Burning

The most prominent fashion designers presented their clothing lines in Paris; Alexander McQueen, Channel, Chloé, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Jean Paul Gautier, Lanvin, Dior, etc... Many of them were very sexy, especially the Hermès collection which was very independent-woman like, with the aviator theme. Chloé was also very feminine in a casual, "sportsy" way. Some of the dresses showed at Paris Fashion Week were amazing, but the Valentino collection was somewhat disappointing. Only one dress in that collection caught my eye; the little red dress, that Valentino red that I love so much (see image below). Speaking of dresses, I’m going through an Elie Saab phase. His collection didn’t let me down as I found an unbelievable amount of dresses I loved. Very pretty and very carpet-ready.
I always leave the best one for last, and for Paris, I think that it was Alexander McQueen who stole the whole festival. His collection oozed theatricality and aggressiveness. His dark and artistic dresses were true masterpieces.


Fashion Week for me is pure bliss, it’s like a succession of never-ending runways with never-ending styles. Like “a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”. I could never overdose on Fashion. Or on chocolate.
