Check out Vogue.it for my reviews of everything hot on Paris catwalks! From my review of Galliano, “Lacquered ladies of the night with puckered Bordeaux red lips flaunted hourglass silhouettes under cinched tweed jackets balanced with leather pencil skirts.

The theme was granny chic at Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2011 show, with models sporting grey beehive hairstyles and side swept bouffants walking seductively down the mile long runway. Pussy bow blouses in patterned satin along with sparkly tweed pantsuits were hidden under fur trimmed coats, only to be revealed minutes later as each model Continue Reading
The firing of Christian Dior creative director John Galliano merely a week before the show cast a funeral pall over the historic house’s Fall 2011 collection. Before the défilé began, Dior CEO Sidney Toledano appeared to deliver a speech in French about the values of the house of Dior. Without mentioning Galliano by name, he Continue Reading
Zac Posen’s Fall 2011 show took place in the basement of the Palais de Tokyo, in a cold concrete box that differed markedly from the opulence of the Westin Hotel ballroom where the collection showed last year.
