Paris Fall fashion collections began awkwardly. Milan had been so stoutly clear: Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander, weird but wonderful Prada.
Now we were 27 floors above the Left Bank, in an office, and the funny
thing was — what were the chances? — all of Paris on Thursday morning
was soaked in a thick fog. The gray matched the mood of designer, Nicolas Ghesquiere Balenciaga.
It wasn’t intentional. Briefly, Mr. Ghesquiere’s idea was to capture
the different styles of office attire among women. “Balenciaga Inc.,” he
said backstage. Balenciaga Chic is probably what his fans would prefer
to see instead of belted double-faced coats, turtleneck sweaters with
cream A-line skirts (though lovely) and chunky sweat shirts in a kind
of, um, animal motif. Another blousy top featured cartoon graphics with
sayings like “Join a weird trip.” On one level, a spoofy take on
corporate dressing is welcomed. All those strange proportions and codes
might work as an odd little mirror held up to reality. At one point
fashion designer Ghesquiere sent out what looked like jumpsuits; the
upper half was a conventional blazer, and the bottom might have been
track pants in parachute silk prints, finished off with a belt so that
your rear end was guaranteed to look enormous. In New York, we’ve all
seen that mishmash of styles on the subway: the thick leather jacket,
the ’80s trousers and two-tone elf boots, the touch of metallic animal
prints. And the attitude is admirable because it really isn’t about Fashion. But on another level, you don’t need this point of view from Balenciaga.
It’s a bit pedestrian. Although the collection had a number of strong
pieces, like the skirts and many of the tops, there is just not enough
merit to the idea to keep you interested. Fashion Designer Rick Owens opened his Paris collection
with floor-scraping coats and pebbly wool dresses, the models’ heads
covered in knitted caps that formed cages over their faces. Their lips
were bright red. In his fashion, designer Owens was elegant. And he
raised the bar with beautiful leather jackets, among his most beautiful,
with dolman sleeves; cropped at the waist, they were worn with slim,
draped wool skirts in a slightly contrasting tone. After his January Paris men’s show, with its Oscar Wilde allusions that landed like a heavy volume, designer Dries Van Noten use of 17th-century Asian silk prints in his women’s show on Wednesday felt comfortably at home in his world. Maybe Mr. Van Noten can’t be funny on a runway. Read more…

New York’s runways are buzzing with New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012. Find all of our exclusive coverage of the hottest green fashion here. Bright knitwear, multifunctional garments, and textured layering pieces are the sound of the season for M. Patmos who revealed its fall 2012 eco-fashion collection on Thursday.
©Emma Grady says: “I
think everything in the collection is something you can wear right
now,” Patmos told TreeHugger. “That’s the goal really, to find something
new that you just want to buy because you don’t have that exact thing
but want a new, unique version of it.” Read more…

It's ….ALL the Rage
New York Fashion Week Fall 2012: Kate Spade
Designer
Deborah Lloyd has really injected new energy and fun into the Kate
Spade brand. For fall, she was inspired by French gamines hangin’ in the
courtyard at the Palais Royale
in Paris. That translated into a bright color story with lots of
graphic touches, including the print on a full skirt spelling out
“toutes les filles sont folles” (all the girls are mad), designed by
blogger, fashion illustrator and photographer Garance Dore.

Fur flying on the catwalk NYC F/W
Fur, cats and leather harnesses hit the runsway
Story by amy verner
Globe Style’s Amy Verner has packed up from Paris and
landed in New York to cover Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. The third day of
shows presented an eclectic mix of fabrics, feminine silhouettes and
foreign influences
Anyone with an encyclopedic fashion memory or a love for designer Phoebe Philo
will recognize this rounded shoulder-full sleeve-belted waist combo
from the Celine Spring 2012 collection (hers, an updated nod to
Balenciaga and Christian Dior). And Som’s execution is strong – minus
the filmy organza skirt. (Richard Drew / AP) One designer’s “merlot” is another’s “plum.” Add Peter Som to the
list of labels showing this rich wine-y hue for next fall. Here, it
stands out as stiff wool melton outerwear fashion. (French Style’s in New York City)
With No doubt, a great amount of time and skill went into making this fox
patchwork coat. Which is why pieces like these should not be saved for
special occasions. Why not wear it to the grocery store! Or for watching
hockey practice!-
Som tends to introduce at least one new print to each collection. Last season, it was magnified rose blossoms in Technicolor. For this collection, it is the “mineral” print as it appears on a wool cropped jacket and day dress.
Fashion week styles though mixed in with many foreign influences,
has a freshness that American fashion designers are known for. Marc
Jacobs and other fashion designers like Peter Som, know how to capture
those feelings that every fashion savvy woman is looking for. Jason Wu
is another of Fashion weeks most cutting edge fashion designers who
capture the essence of great Americana. Fashion Designer, Christian Dior

Jean Paul Gaultier’s tribute to Amy Winehouse hits wrong notes
Is it strictly appropriate for a French couturier to send out a catwalk homage to Amy Winehouse complete with models wearing exposed bra straps, Fred Perry collars, baseball jackets and shirts tucked into pencil skirts? Probably not. But yesterday in Paris Jean Paul Gaultier chose to do just that. A live barbershop quartet crooned an elliptical rendition of the late singer’s most famous recording, “Rehab”, and Gaultier went so far as to attach black veils to towering beehives for his … story ®Courtesy of inspirationsinmylife, wanna Read more!

Ode to Madame Gres’ Draped Fashion
The creation “Femina dress, 1946″ by French fashion designer Madame Gres (1903-1993) is displayed during the exhibition “Madame Gres, Couture at Work” at the Bourdelle Museum in Paris July 7, 2011. For this celebrated couturier, who pleated and draped her waythrough a half century career in fashion, the art of meticulously folding fabric over the body to create dramatic sculpted forms elevated craft to art. Some 80 flowing creations from the artist who died in 1993 are on display this summer at Paris’ Musee Bourdelle, the first retrospective of this legendary Parisian with the signature Angora turban to whom contemporary fashion designers owe much. The exhibition will end on August 28.
