I haven’t been blown away by Paris Fashion week. Though it’s the first time that I’m doing this broader coverage of the 4 major fashion capitals, it’s the first time that I’m left bored by Paris Fashion Week. The neutral were dull, the block color too yellow-only, the yellow were too neon even for me who absolutely love this color. My slideshow is way less stuffed than London and New York Fashion weeks. Come on Paris!

This Men’s collection was not my favorite of all. From the Givenchy’s skirts (Rick Owens’ was no surprise), to Sacai girly espadrilles to Comme des Garcons’s fushia suit, I don’t think that most trends fitted everyday outfit, which should qualify a Ready To Wear collection in my view.

But (because there’s always a but, and when one searches, one finds …)

got me obsessed for half a year ever since Karlie Kloss walked the Lanvin SS 2011 RTW show.

I eventually saw it at Harrod’s, London 2 weeks ago…. It’s not really what I expected.

Well! The dress still looks gorgeous overall. Even hung on the hanger, the  firemen red silk of the skirt looks like it flies around depending upon how light sparkles on it. BUT the fabric of the top looks like .. neopren. You know this thick fabric used for diving suits.  I want to think that Elbaz chose it on purpose to smooth the line of the back and keep any ungracious skin bump under tight guard while offering good support without a bra. Though, at close sight, it looks terrible.

That’s not all. Underneath the belt the waistline seam is ruffled. And in real life, you walk, you talk, you breathe, your belt move around with you and uncover the ruffle detail. It’s like the dress design is not complete.

Since I got the Internet set up at home only last week, I haven’t caught up with my usual online fashion consumption. I guess I’m still a Parisian girl at heart as I reviewed only Paris’ fashion week and have left the other cities for later. This season, once more, lots of opposite styles are still (straight and large pants, low and high waist, stilettos heels and wedges and so on). It feels nice to play around with our outfits. Here I stick to what works for me in terms of what I’d see myself dive into next winter. Obviously, there’s a lot more to say. But it’d be difficult in one post.

There’s something with this greenish trend men’s runways have sorted out.

This is not the most flattering color. But this is certainly the newest shade. Is it a yerk? Or is it a no?

Hermès managed to deliver an immediate to wear RTW collection. Most of the collections is easy enough to get picked up and worn right after the runway.

Let’s point out the cardigans,

Unlike Raf Simons, Dior got it darker and less structured.
Figures are way manly and lines look like they’re flying around.
