the best of the rest of paris a/w 09

this is gonna be a long post, since i've been neglectful of runway reporting. i have been springbreaking for a while and haven't been able to make time for blogging, as opposed to consuming absurd amounts of cheez-its and catching up on skins (officially the most melodramatic teen dramedy series to hit television), which have been of the utmost priority.

the autumn/winter shows are over! designers seemed to wether the economic climate like champions, and there are still a few loose ends to tie up in le Paris.

sonia rykiel
the breakdown: classic french style, loose fit, embellishment.

(more)

maison martin margiela
the breakdown: plastic shoulderpads, body-con, fabulously conceptual (as usual)

(more)

jean-charles de castelbajac
the breakdown: everyone knows jc/dc is undefinable, but tongue-in-cheek would be a decent description.

(more)

chloe
the breakdown: breezy fabrics interchanged with well-fitted silhouettes, effortless design.

(more)

ann valerie hash
the breakdown: pants, suits, and a modern take on neutrals

(more)

betty jackson
the breakdown: demure coats and skirts, pastels and ladylike silhouettes.

(more)

elie saab
the breakdown: reinterpritations of the "it" dress, body-con and glamazon.

(more)

comme des garcons
breakdown: a perfect combination of schoolgirl, bridesmaid and coocooned caterpillar in an optimistic color palette.

(more)

rue du mail
breakdown: lovely colors, hoods (!!) and classic parisian flair.

(more)

miu miu
breakdown: minimalistic silhouettes, the new austerity, with a flash of leg, of course.
