Paris Fashion Week (Spring 2008) has surprised me a little. I can name this state even as a shock. So, you have an opportunity to view the Paris prêt-à-porter season right now:

General moments:

• a variety of bright colours, catwalks looked like a roost of colourful and rare butterflies: pink, red, yellow etc.
• flowers, feathers, prints;
• frocks, bows, kimonos;
• either small or extremely big bags;
• high-heeled shoes;

Interesting moments:

• Bird-women, floral and fauna prints, exotic trends, kimono-tunics, maxi-dresses, striped cardigans… Colours are bright, even bold. These all can be seen in the collection from Kenzo.

  

• Alexander McQueen was a little bit nostalgic. We can see again hats from Philip Treacy and feel Isabella Blow presence (may be because a bottle of her perfume was given to every guest!). This season McQueen is mad about Japan, rainbow prints, sandals, lace inserts and kimono dresses.

   

• Chanel. As for me, I adore their ready-to-walk collections, they are a bright combination of the heritage and modern. Most of all, I liked their stars, especially on dresses, they are so stylish and adorable.

  

• Also, I liked new Galliano’s vision of the world and business dress-code. They are thought-provoking and are a perfect reflection of Marlene Dietrich style.

  

• Lanvin frocks are so gentle and at the same time sexy, they are made for special occasions. In this dresses, women seem to be like flowers. So, delicious!
