Issey Miyake - Paris FW 2011
Issey Miyake - Paris FW 2011
An Issey Miyake show is an education, but in the gentlest way. The pitch is usually intimidatingly academic; the execution is always enthrallingly intimate. Today, the foundation of the collection was taping, so basic to the manufacture of clothes, but here transformed on the runway before our eyes into an exercise in pure form. In a matter of seconds, black-clad assistants folded and stapled paper tape, origamilike, into five items of clothing: a tailcoat, a dress, a skirt, a peplum jacket, a collar. Models wearing these paper garments were followed by other girls wearing fabric versions of the same look. It was an inventive insight into the process of design. But that is typical of Miyake designer Dai Fujiwara. This was his last collection after five years as creative director. In a week where good-byes have been very much on fashion's mind, his was one that you wished more people had taken the opportunity to experience.
After the prototype experiment, Fujiwara offered variants on the taped shapes and the houndstooth and herringbone patterns that the folding created. A pixelated houndstooth on a jacket was abstracted on the skirt beneath. Huge padded Vs made an angular puffer vest. Fujiwara drew on the work of artist M.C. Escher to create optical-illusion jacquards. One drop-waisted dress wove ribbons into chevrons and let the ribbons float untrimmed. It was a lyrical effect. But no more so than a dress that layered diaphanous fabric so light its colors seemed to be shifting before your eyes. It might be the most beautiful piece of the week. And if the planets align in some more sensible way, Dai should eventually be able to look back on his five years at Miyake as a pioneering moment in fashion, where thought and deed were united in an inspiringly humanist package.

Leonard - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Leonard - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Best known for his floral prints, Leonard took luxury to a brand new level this season by introducing a true sensuality that is slightly more graphic than romantic. The aesthetics of Asian-inspired peonies, dynamic tribal contours, alongside tamed panthers and reptiles made a unique statement on flowing, pure lined silhouettes. Although the prints stole the show, alluring fabric combinations made a commanding statement as well. Strips of tweed or quilted satin were found on Crepon flirt or silk jersey and were occasionally intermingled with printed leather or Milano wool.Back to the patterns: flamboyant flowers, flowing braids, and a puzzle of stripes and reptilian effects reflected magnetic femininity all the while achieving an attractive geometric position.Lighter blue and reds blended with pink and sand, with white and black holding strong presence. This collection was visually enthralling, and it is evident that concrete talent produced such focused creations.Visit FashionStock.com for more DVD videos, hi-rez photos and Blue-ray compilations!

Valentin Yudashkin - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Valentin Yudashkin is one of the most promising designers from Russia that has won his place in Paris. his show was held in the magestic Palais de la Decouverte, being a perfect frame to show his creations. His collection simple, elegant and with clever touches of color (orange mainly) in the make up and the clothes was refreshing to watch. ;I strongly believe that rising stars from emerging countries (Russia, Brasil, India, China & Turkey) will be more and more successful in Paris and in the world. Their economies will rule the world and I am sure their designers will not stay behind. This is part of the new structuring of fashion.

Steffie Christiaens - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Steffie Christiaens - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Paris-based Dutch designer Steffie Christiaens debuted her first collection through a baptism of fire- sculpting a progressive silhouette that forsakes a poignant science. The designer created wearable pieces from unconventional processes which involved scorching and melting vintage garments. The textures and silhouettes surely reflect the effects of heat with minimal conceptions infused with elegant futuristic notions.Charcoal dominated the color palette with the occasional burst of a bright cobalt and a shiny purple silk. Angular coats and precisely tailored capes melded well with cashmere fabrics, subdued leather, and exotic reptile skins. Trousers in wool hit directly at the ankle as 3D dresses hit just above the knee, and movement were sensational as pieces of jersey were layered with panels of crocodile and python hides.The collection also incorporated menswear silhouettes, offering a more masculine version of Steffies original aesthetic. Jackets were voluminous in the back and came with raised collars and paired nicely with slim trousers and buckled boots.The finale awed the crowd as technical couture dresses displayed cylindrical piping formed into stiff planes and arching tulip skirts. Steffie truly mastered the art of science and fashion in this risk-taking collection.Please check http://FashionStock.com for hi-resolution photos, DVD videos and more info

Estrella Archs - Fall Winter 2011
Estrella Archs - Fall Winter 2011
After all of the brightly colored clothes that designer Estrella Archs produced during her brief and chaotic time designing for the brand Emanuel Ungaro it came as something of a choc to see beige on her catwalk. Beige and more beige, it was only after about ten looks that Ms. Archs tried out a different hue- and it was black. Granted there was a touch of the old Estrella in those first few looks, a band of hot pink could be spotted striping the hem of what might be described as a body sock dress.
Perhaps the designer was fishing for a job at Masion Martin Margiela where her collection would look right at home. Her all in one outfits started with shoes built into socks which were then attached to a skirt via a zipper at the back and continued up and over the body to encompass everything but the models head. Overall this style looked gimmicky. The only moment where the idea seem like it was going anywhere was when a blazer was seamlessly molded out the top of one ensemble. When the designer moved away from this experimentation the collection started to gain tractionand color.
In shades of pink, from blush to fuchsia and orange Ms. Archs relaxed her silhouette showing boxy tail coats cut from what looked like vintage kimonos covered in cranes and a number of simple draped dresses. Those dresses looked even more interesting once the models reveled themselves to be ballerinas and took to the catwalk en pointe.

Costume National - Fall Winter 2011
Costume National - Fall Winter 2011
The punchy minimalism of Ennio Capasa's last collection was clearly well received. (No less than Anna Dello Russo showed up in an Yves Klein-blue suit from it at today's show.) It makes sense that the designer built on the same clean-lined and colorful foundation for Fall. If it ain't broke
Capasa maintained the exact structure of Spring with its four chromatic groupings, but instead of pure doses of solid color, he set it against black. But that wasn't really the problem. The pairing worked nicely against ivory and lipstick red, but the other two hues in Fall's rainbow were of the wishy-washy, muted sort. That lemony yellow in particular is a color no one's ever dying to wear, particularly when blocked with black.

Alexis Mabille - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Alexis Mabille - Fall Winter 2011
32-year-old Alexis Mabille it holds the lure of childhood nostalgia, even though he was born too late to experience it firsthand. Some boys never forget their first fashion loves: In Mabille's case he name-checked Anjelica Huston and Nan Kempner.
That duo's louche and lean sensibility is somewhat at odds with Mabille's effervescent cuteness. Squaring the two was his obvious task at hand, and a point of difference when using less-than-original source material. It was evident in the sweet little hits of color you got through pastel piping on jersey wrap skirts, languid twinsets, collarless coats, and flowing Halston-esque silk gowns, and even a turtleneck worn under a square-cut tunic dress. And, of course, the bows. One was worked into the back collar of a black smoking like a little gift. But the smartest Mabille touch here was all the little covered buttons, especially when seen in profile running down the side of a sleeve or trimming a hem.
One reason this era boomerangs back into fashion so frequently is that there's something forever modern-looking about it. But that element was missing here in the overwrought look of suede-fringed scarves, heavy tunic shapes, and paisley prints. It's not that you couldn't pull out great pieces, but the big picture was probably best left as a sweet memory.

Victor & Rolf - Paris Fall Winter 2011
PARISThe photo pit at lEspace Ephemere in the Tuileries, impatient with the delay at Viktor and Rolf, began singing, shouting, whistling (there was some raising of middle fingers, too)anything to spur the lights to dim and the show to start. As if to answer the photogs lewd taunts in kind, a draw bridge lowered, angry militaristic music began pumping through the tent, and red-faced models marched down the runway. It was a little scary.
I would not want to do battle against Viktor and Rolfs army of lady warriors. Their armorleather or stiff chiffon-plated dresses with shoulders that were exaggerated or cut out completely, high collars, and sharply pleated skirtslooked impenetrable and almost reptilian. Black stockings had blood red seams running up the back and the voice against the percussive soundtrack pleaded hurt over and over.

Tsumori Chisato - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Tsumori Chisato - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Walking into the 19th-century Salon Impérial at the Westin
Paris, we knew instantly that Tsumori Chisato had a treat in
store for us this fall. With a backdrop that dazzled with ornate
floor-to-ceiling mirrors and gilt chandeliers, the stage was set
for the spectacular.
Chisato fell under the spell of Finland's northern lights this
season. The opening series featured 8 corky-cute, stripy
knitted tunic dresses with a dash of modern-mod color
blocking, accented with knit caps and 60s-inspired oversized
rounded sunglasses.
And just as we were enjoying Chisatos pastel whimsy, further color contrasts took a richer,
darkerdirection in the form of a sporty full fox fur sleeved waist-length
patterned jacket that was paired with a lean riding pant.
There was also kimono sleeve wool sweater dress that was a
vision of autumn. Never predictable, Chisato ended the show in ladylike glamour.
The result was dainty and oozed of imagination that defines the aesthetic of this coveted brand.
There was a silk caftan adorned with child-like appliqué, lapels covered in sequin that received
several double takes from show attendees. Chisato is on trend without being trendy, her designs are
anchored in originality, luscious colors and plush fabrics, which is why we keep wanting more
season after season!

Lie Sang Bong - Paris Fall Winter 2011
The Korean designer Lie Sang Bong presented his new fall/winter 2011/12 collection on 5 March 2011 at the Hotel Westin Concorde in Paris.The designer counts to one of the most important Asian designers. He translates the culture of Korea into fashion that is worn by celebrities like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Juliette Binoche and compared to the punky-elegant style of Alexander McQueen. This season, Lie Sang Bong was inspired by the temples on the top of Korean mountains and created "...a collection that invites an air of contemplation along with natures sense of movement."
Jean-Paul Gaultier - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Jean-Paul Gaultier's fall 2011 collection had models donning gray beehives with retro wear inspired by the 50s and 60s. On the runway, the girls took off layers and threw them to the end of the catwalkperhaps symbolizing the freedom of fashion or maybe just to have a bit of fun as Gaultier is known for. Either way, the smart suits, puffer jackets and bold patterns seemed to celebrate maturity and sophistication.
Jean-Paul Gaultier's message tonight: You're never too old for a little striptease. Out first was the fortysomething French comedian Valérie Lemercier with a bouffant 'do that aged her another good 20 years. About halfway down the runway, she peeled off her scarf and tossed it into the second row. Wearing silvery beehive wigs, the models followed her lead, throwing their trenches and bouclé jacketsthose trappings of the Parisian bourgeoisieinto a pile in front of the photographers.
Dita Von Teese did a striptease of her own at a Gaultier couture show when he was launching a lingerie collection not that long ago. There were no bare derrieres here, but there was a lot of tugging at leather gloves. The trouble with this gambit: The best clothesall those trenches, in half leather, half wool scuba fabricended up on the floor.
The items that remained were classicscameo-print blouses buttoned up to there, pleated slacksbut the cuts seemed purposefully and curiously old-lady. Even matrons don't want to be mumsy.

Cacharel - Paris Fall 2011/ Winter 2012
;The very cool-looking Cacharel print in this neatly serene collection had the look of a surreal, half-done artist's sketch. Cédric Charlier used it to bookend the show, starting off with the motif on camel and then ending on black. And in the middle, a powdery mix of solids.
As for the silhouettes, Charlier doesn't overtly do retro, but his clean-lined clothes had a fresh-scrubbed, standaway sixties shape. His tweak was a new version of layering or "super-positioning," as he called it: He'd put a boxy top over a matching straight-cut mini from which flowed a chiffon skirt. As odd as it sounds, this double skirt was pretty at times, but not so much that you might actually see girls trying to pull it off next season. Though not as flashy of a headline, his layering of all those pale makeup colors in boxy tops and fluid skirts and blousons, long shirts, and trousers was quite beautifulparticularly when they streamed out together for the final walk. In all, it was an impressive effort.

Yohji Yamamoto - Paris Fall Winter 2011
Opting for a more serious mood this season than last, Yohji Yamamotos fall collection takes a somber turn while also experiencing a poignant art moment. Delivering on expectation, but also pushing the boundaries to provide room for a more thoughtful touch, a uniform for men of all ages comes together with attentive care to form and function. Cut large and dressed by subdued colors besides a shocking jolt of red, the lineup provides a tidy fusion of east and west as the stagnant nature of suiting is dissected into an attractive lifestyle of great ease.

Vivienne Westwood - Paris Fall Winter 2011
"I can't keep banging on about climate change, so I decided to express my thoughts about the planet through strong women, and the fact women are the guardians of culture," said Dame Vivienne Westwood after a blockbuster show, aglitter with gold and silver, and wild, war-painted models, at the Paris prêt-a-porter season.
Boy George and Paloma Faith were among front row guests as Westwood's Gold Label collection for autumn/winter 2011 brought a renewed focus to woman as warrior. The models charged down a gold glitter runway in chain-mail tunics, bunched-up crinolines imprinted with primitive symbols and 'cave-paintings', and helmets trimmed with hanks of fake hair.

Issey Miyake - Paris Fall -Winter 2011
Issey Miyake - Paris FW 2011
a theatrical parade of <strong>issey miyake</strong> was held in paris in this season’s fashion week… after 17 years at the helm of the house, designer <strong>dai fujiwara</strong> presented his last show for fall winter 2011 2012 and went out in style…
a grand piano with the notes of twinkle twinkle little star played as the show opened up with the staff creating origami garments on stage and assembling them on the models…
fujiwara shows us with the opening of his fashion show that fashion can be environmentally responsible, just a bit of creativity, art, some strips of paper and some paper clip to create a skirt, a dress or a top fashion.
once the paper premise had been established, designer Fujiwara sent out the same ensembles a second time, but built from more functional fabrics…</p>

Isabel Marant - Paris Fall / Winter 2011
Isabel Marant - Paris Fall / Winter 2011
Isabel Marants clients have come to appreciate her take on the Parisienne look, reinventing its definition season after season. Even more notably, Marants footwear line has a near cult following, with many buyers lusting for any shoe with the houses name on it. And after successfully opening her store in NY this past year, it seems that Isabel took a little bit of Native Americana back with her to Paris.Delivering on all expectations, Isabel delivered a France-meets-Navajo-inspired collection that saw no shortage of instantly covetable suede fringe boots. Her growing affinity for sportswear and wearable clothing seemed unbounded, as she integrated Navajo prints onto wool sweaters, cotton pleated skirts, and white jeans. Patchwork denim button-down shirts, fringed collar tops, shearling lined parkas and darkly treated jeans had a certain cowgirl from St. Germain des Près feeling. Black-n-charcoal low-cut suede and jersey dresses seemed to have an unbridled sex appeal when paired with oversized coats and above-the-knee fringe boots.

Even more notably, Marants footwear line has a near cult following, with many buyers lusting for any shoe with the houses name on it. And after successfully opening her store in NY this past year, it seems that Isabel took a little bit of Native Americana back with her to Paris.Delivering on all expectations, Isabel delivered a France-meets-Navajo-inspired collection that saw no shortage of instantly covetable suede fringe boots. Her growing affinity for sportswear and wearable clothing seemed unbounded, as she integrated Navajo prints onto wool sweaters, cotton pleated skirts, and white jeans. Patchwork denim button-down shirts, fringed collar tops, shearling lined parkas and darkly treated jeans had a certain cowgirl from St. Germain des Près feeling. Black-n-charcoal low-cut suede and jersey dresses seemed to have an unbridled sex appeal when paired with oversized coats and above-the-knee fringe boots.

Dior - People at entrance to the show boycotted Galliano for making the racial remarks : Paris Fall-Winter 2011
Dior - People at entrance to the show boycotted Galliano for making the racial remarks - Paris , March 5th, 2011 2:05 pm ET
Dior Fall-Winter 2011 runaway in Paris went without its creative director John Galliano. Galliano is no longer employed with one of the oldest and most prestigious brand. And there is a reason for it.
This scandal in the fashion world shocked everyone, except maybe Galliano himself, who let himself loose a long time ago with a thought that he is too powerful to be ever condemned for anything. It helped that his collections have kept everyone mesmerized for decadesBut this time Galliano did himself a bad favor.
When Galliano didnt show up at the showing of his own collection Christian Dior Fall-Winter 2011 in Paris, everyone knew the reason. The show started with a forward word by Sidney Toledano, the 59-year-old chief executive of Dior, who told the audience: "The fact that Diors name could be connected to the absolutely unacceptable remarks by its leading designer, no matter how genius he might be, became like a torture to all of us.
Despite the collection by Dior being one of the most lavish and colorful of the collections shown this year, not many well known people were present at it, most of whom boycotted Galliano for making the racial remarks that he loves Hitler. Usually Diors collections are hardly missed by the top influential people in the world of fashion, press and Hollywood.

Zac Pozen - Paris Fall / Winter 2011-2012
The one consensus on leaving Zac Posens show had journalists agreeing there had been some changes chez Posen. Perhaps there was less pressure to live up to for this, his second showing on the Paris Fashion Week calendar, but the presentation was a more confident and unified assemblage, without relying on awkward details like the disastrous feathers from last season. This seasons unifiers were the slim, above-the-ankle, cigarette pant, his structured jackets and blazers, and the array of blues, the color that should be crowned the new black by the end of Paris Fashion Week. Posens eveningwear was as red-carpet friendly as ever, but it just showed a little too clearly what was missing from the rest of his collection: some va va voom!

Sharon Wauchob - Paris Fall / Winter 2011-2012
Sharon Wauchob is Irish, attended Londons Central St Martins school, designs for Edun in New York and shows her own eponymous line in Paris.
So who is the Wauchob woman? Its more a matter of using what is available and specific to the country, Sharon told us backstage after the show, For instance France has incredible, unique lace and pleating techniques.
Indeed, Sharon, who previously worked on textiles at Louis Vuitton is growing to be an expert at fabric treatment. Her collection, shown last night in Paris Beaux-Arts school, is a game of laces, playing on the subtlety of layering two sheer fabrics, contrasting fur and fishnet-like broderie anglaise.
Her woman is decidedly a working one: this chic, office wear line can make one look ready for a promotion, but also drop dead irresistible at a cocktail party.

Manish Arora - Paris Fall Winter 2011
A fully bearded and caped magic man delivered the first model out of fire onto the runway; what an entrance at Manish Arora, not to mention the actual initiation into the collection. It would be impossible for these tricks to distract from the fully embellished clothes, as they are purely walking art. The hair transformed into flat hats added a slight Mexican flair to the dramatically printed pieces reflecting German artist Amrie Hoffstater.Bright colors shaded daring sculptured shoulder garnishes on knee and floor length dresses, and bubble skirts in colored fox fur top with metal swan belts accompanied vivid silk blouses buttoned to the collar.Structured sleeves called for defined silhouettes, and the occasional Asian influence invaded the territory with intricate, colorful prints, fur and feathers.After an array of patterned leggings, the finale was one of notable effect showing a dress that appeared as spherical mold, the modern version of an old century ball gown. What a stunning museum-worthy collection.

Barbara Bui - Paris Fall / Winter 2011- 2012
Starting with the incorporation of homogenous traits, womens fashion has become a bit tough, but the contradiction to ladylike attributes has proven to be uber-feminine. Simplicity is intriguing when there is one piece that makes a strong statement, and the Barbara Bui collection abounded with these types of outerwear investments.Shearling coated high collared coats, segmented together with patent leather, mohair, and voluminous nylon paired with super skinny liquid leather leggings delivered a perfect ensemble for the confident natural woman.Another wondrous piece for the power woman: miniskirts and tunics in black glossy leather and the occasional fur rim. Army green hues and metallic pants gave the neutrals a break, and although the transition was enjoyed in the moment, the head to toe black as well as the brown and off-white textured tones were highly desirable.

Talbot Runhof - Paris Fall / Winter 2011- 2012
If Louis Vuitton's showing this morning had been decadent as a result of having the most impressive staging of all of the fashion shows for the season, then it can be said of Talbot Runhof's
that they had selected the most opulent of venues for the day.
Corinthian columns were staccatoed amongst a room of illusionistic ceiling paintings and gold leaf.
That opulence wouldn't translate into Runhof's autumn / winter collection, but the fact that this baroque room sat in contrast to the modernised walkway that led to it certainly would.
For what we were presented with was something a re-emerging fall 2011 fashion trend in Paris: the masculinisation of women's fashion for the season.
Look-after-look on Talbot Runhof's runway nailed precisely that, and in fact it offered up the best take on the boyfriend shirt dress that I believe I've ever been privy to. But it did it all without leaning so heavily towards the masculine that the feminine was lost altogether.

It was a Disciplined show that presented bell boys, elevators, french maids and supermodels on the runway.
Making Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 Show all the more extravagant were supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Carolyn Murphy who catwalked on runway and grabbed attention.
It was a terrific show that saw a battalion of French maids wielding enormous feather dusters greeting the designers guests.
Models stepped on runway donning Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 dresses cut from an incredible range of fabrics teamed with bags in variety of designs and material like gold, python, harlequin-cut shearling and embroidered monogram rubber.
The reinterpreted 1958 top-handle Lockit bag cuffed to the models wrists with diamond handcuffs, was interesting.
Looks like police-hatted, silk-stockinged, jodhpured style; menswear inspired tweed coats and jackets reshaped into hourglasses, printed 40s-style dresses, skirt-and-sweater combos with rectangular paillettes, sleek sweaters, clipped Mongolian lamb pieces, white-collared dresses were chic.

Long hemlines dominated the Ingrid Vlasov show on Tuesday at the Westin Paris. Light hues initiated the presentation with sci-fi like sculptured shoulders and backs that appeared as though sprouting miniature angel wings. Black lace appliqués anointed white off white fabrics, resulting in slightly gothic and medieval reflections. Some elegant beige dresses and pantsuits offered a break from the mysterious theme and transitioned eventually into geometric zigzag patterned floor length gowns and pure black ensembles details in sheer mesh garnished with lace and beaded embellishment. I could see Cher stepping into any of these gowns with ease.

Chanel - Paris FW 2011
Chanel - Paris FW 2011
fall 2011 Chanel ready-to-wear collection down the Paris Fashion Week runway was a combination of menswear, black/white, work shoes and an overall dark inspiration.
The collection combined luxury details with tired pants and worn shoes. The handbags on the runway were small, as if they did not have much to carry.
There was a small shoulder bag with a long strap and a tiny clutch with a handbag strap.
Whether the Chanel collection was inspired by the rocky economic times or the murmurs about the Mayan calendar predicting the apocalypse in 2012,
or the military aftermaths around the world; the overall vibe of Chanels fall collection was dark.
Karl Lagerfeld paired luxurious tweed Chanel blazers with ill-fitting pants and shoes that appeared to have worked in a coal mine.
The collection was a stark move away from last spring which featured light-hearted colors and styles.
Chanels handbag collection on the runway was slim. Unlike last spring when Chanel featured a variety of handbag styles with the collection,
the fall 2011 runway showed two distinct handbag styles; the shoulder bag and a tiny clutch.
The shoulder bag featured a chain and leather strap which dropped the handbag to the models hip bone. Chanels fall shoulder bag featured a flap closure and squared off silhouette.
The hardware was gold and Karl Lagerfeld showed the shoulder bag in black leather as well as white.
The mini-clutch on Chanels fall runway was about the size of the models hand and featured a slip strap which allowed the clutch to secure to the hand.
Chanels mini-clutch was made from quilted lambskin and shown in winter white.
The mini-bags on Chanels runway reflected the current trend towards a smaller handbag as well as the move towards more streamlined and classic designs.

the dresses on the runway at alexander mcqueen’s show were ‘fit for a queen’… especially after the rumors that sarah burton, the creative director for the brand, was going to design kate middleton’s wedding gown… not true… but too bad because they fit the mold…
burton played with tweed and checked velvets as the collection took a dark turn from the pearls and creams… armor-like black dresses traced in zippers were fitted with elaborate harnasses and hardware…
the music for the showing was eery… kind of tied in with the vampire-big-bad-wolf trend in film lately…
the snowy white dresses in her fall collection were inspired by an ice queen and her court… live wolves also strutted down the runway…
the fog lifted and out came angelic-looking gowns in fraying organza embroidered with pearls… one of the most extraordinary pieces had a bodice made from pieces of bone china and the finale gown, with it’s enormous tulle skirt, seemed to carry the model down the runway… (kate could have worked this)
