Paris Fashion Week 2009
Paris Fashion Week 2009
The extraordinary Marc Jacobs brought it home again. He ended the season at Louis Vuitton with a triumphant show to end the Paris Fashion Week. He chose as inspiration (as he did in New York), the glamourous eighties. The pieces were ruffled and poufed with a slice of bling bling. A lot of shirring and ruching in print or in leather appeared on the runway. Also various forms of bubble skirts, satin leggings and wide short coats were contemporary. In total there were more than 60 outfits presented, which is very respectable when one considers that a Louis Vuitton collection by Marc Jacobs isn´t all of clothing!
Actually the show was a big flood of details and a rich accessory feast for the leather goods company. Plaited leather necklaces or belts threaded with pearls here, raced and ribboned over the knee tight leather boots there. And of course Handbags! Lets not forget handbags. Finally they are getting a little smaller, which doesn´t mean that they stop attracting attention. Marc Jacobs really outdid himself this time and created some very eye-catching new ‚girls-best-friends‘. A few of the bags are decorated with ornaments while others were flounced very nicely. I especially liked the solution with the golden bicycle chain, because this one doesn´t take itself too seriously. Don‘t forget to oil it ladies!
n one more season it may seem formulaic, but for now, Balmain is rocking the runway. With a raw mix of jacket and pant combos, bandage dresses, and slashed gowns, this collection is party and afterparty ready. Remember Balmain’s sultry Fall season? With its highly coveted (and already worn by Carine Roitfeld and daughter) party dresses and wild cut-outs? They’re back, and they’re better than ever. But Christophe Decarnin is not just exposed skin and energetic frills — he took his stab at the sharp shoulder. It’s too conical for my taste, but it makes for some stunning jackets.
Hilary Alexander reviews the Valentino spring/summer 2010 collection from Paris Fashion Week.
“Back to nature,” Lagerfeld said backstage, before the show, citing Marie Antoinette in her shepherdess phase, and a love of the countryside as key references.
But this was no costume pageant. There were Chanel cardigan suits aplenty, in shades of wheat, corn and poppy-red, with cotton jeans, calico knickerbockers, or a new side-split, short skirt. The models wore little crowns and stalks of wheat in their tousled hair, and high-heeled, wooden clogs – Lagerfeld’s answer to the platform.
On the stage was a flower-garlanded, wooden two-storey barn, and a giant haystack, with concealed “doors”, from which the models emerged. Read more

Make up, integral part of fashion parade or shoot, and currently at DFW duo makeup artist Jojo and Yatan Ahluwalia are painting faces gracefully with pre-preparation of their complicated job. Both the makeup artists have decided to give full justice to the designer’s collection. They are equipped with 18 assistants and they are doing their coloring job within a 3 hours before the show. MAC is the brand through which they are creating perfect shades suitable for the collection.
It is wrongly assumed that makeup artist start their brushes on the very day of event however, the fact is not so. In case of fashion weeks the makeup artist keep meeting designers to get adiquate knowledge about their collection. Any makeup artist requires more than a month to think and machinate the looks. There they discuss several things related to ramp as well like colors, lights and many more so on that basis they visualize the look of the model on the ramp. One of the duo said “some designers prefer a perticular color but they wanted us to use the different shae of the same color”.
The cosmetics used by such professional are so advanced that makeup for stage absorbs the light and gives a more dramatic look on the ramp. Looking from the designer’s angel they don’t only deal with garments their area of concern includes make up and the model as model is dominant and influential factor contributing their designs and makeup enhances the creation.
