Chloe Fall 2011: Snake Attack

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 02:01 AM PST

PARIS–In what will likely go down as one of the most drama-filled Paris fashion weeks, Chloe’s Hannah MacGibbon could not escape the designer rumor mill. MacGibbon presented her fall collection for Chloe amidst rumblings that it would be her last for the brand. But this was no shrinking violet, meekly-shuffling-out-the-door kind of collection.

Gone is the minimalist ballerina of last season. Chloe’s fall girl is brash and emboldened with the spirit of the ’70s, she struts in leather track suits and is not afraid to match snake print with snake print. I prefer the ballerina. But this collection should strike a chord with any lady looking to make a statement: hiss.

Junya Watanabe Fall 2011: The Biker Transformed

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 02:30 PM PST

Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt.

PARIS-Despite the male voice’s slow reading of the French poet Arthur Rimbaud's Ophélie–a Symbolist sonnet written when Mr. Rimbaud was 17 years old in three parts, describing the fictive lover of Shakepeare's Hamlet who eventually succumbed to insanity and death by drowning in a river–over the soundtrack the Junya Watanabe show on Saturday morning, the designer's fall collection is anything but soft poetry.

Giambattista Valli Fall 2011: Ladylike Glamor

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 12:07 PM PST

PARIS–There was a bit of Jackie O. in Giambattista Valli‘s Fall 2011 collection, presented today at the Couvent de Cordeliers–if only Jackie O. would dare to wear streaks of neon yellow across the bottom of her thick shift dresses, exaggerated peter pan collars, and skirts in shaggy fur. Maybe it was a collection better suited for her younger sister, Lee Radziwill, who attended the show.

Yohji Yamamoto Fall 2011: A Sliver of Sex

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 11:52 AM PST

PARIS–Often, a Yohji Yamamoto show is a serious discourse on the nature and the mechanics of fashion: cutting, draping, shapes and volumes. Sometimes it's a complex illustration of fashion's history. But at last night's show, Mr. Yamamoto did none of that, even if there was a cage hoop skirt worn with a blood red wool and silk puffed sleeve coat, a red corset-wrapped dress, red hand-knit pantyhose, and red patent leather boots.

A long-sleeved, sheer chiffon, black and white eye pattern dress with a slide slit was worn over a layer of black fishnet and black combat boots. A white leaf-printed dress in black sheer chiffon was worn over white stockings. A black velvet coat was paired with a silk corset top, lace bodysuit, and a cut-out cage skirt. The rigid, circular frames of the skirt highlighted the juxtaposition of the hard and soft elements of this highly erotic collection, based on the notion of how a woman wears lingerie.

The hard-soft idea played out in the velvet fabric of a slit dress and a coat falling and draping over ridges of the cage skirt’s skeleton. There were several outstanding large lapel wool overcoats toward the end of the show for customers at the stores, but great too was the red and black multiple-layered chiffon and tulle dress with a red bra–a look uncharacteristic of the designer's signature.

John Galliano Fall 2011: Then and Now

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 11:13 AM PST

Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt.

PARIS–The email invitation from the John Galliano's office simply said that there would be a presentation between the hours of 5 and 6pm on Sunday afternoon at the posh Avenue Foch mansion. But fashion is always full of surprises, and upon arriving at said manor, the first floor along the corridors around the grand staircase was lined with café style tables and chairs. In the two main rooms were red velvet imperial style couches, marble statues, floral silk velvet cushions thrown here and there surrounded by potted flower plants, and several grand crystal chandeliers hanging low from the ceiling. Reduced in scale but not in temperament, Mr. Galliano would have been proud of the efforts his team has managed.

Alex White’s New Blog for W is Fashion Heaven

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 09:00 AM PST

Inspirational super-stylist Alex White is one of the best in the business–her whimsical and eye-popping editorials are what make W a hit magazine–so when I heard she was blogging, I almost leapt out of my seat.

White’s blog, titled “Alex White Edits,” is a new feature on the W website that will showcase White’s creative process as well as snapshots and notes from her travels. So far the blog details a visit to see Tabitha Simmons’ new shoe collection, some shots of pre-fall, an extensive behind the scenes look at the Nina Ricci AW11 show that White styles, and the most alluring Polaroids and sketches from White’s “Against Nature” editorial that ran in W‘s March 2011 issue.

The behind the scenes work of a stylist is usually unseen by the majority of fashion followers, which is why White’s blog is such a great addition to online fashion culture. But read with caution–it’s just the thing to make you want quit your day job and start working 24/7 for a stylist.
