The accessories in Paris were in a realm of their own. From McQueen's towering, curved platforms to John Galliano's erotically-inspired heels, there was definitely a foot fetish this season. The bondage theme we saw happening in New York continued at Givenchy and Marant, with straps and buckles galore. Lanvin opted for a safari moment while Louis Vuitton took on the clog. See all these and more in...

From the tattered tees and frayed jackets at Balmain to the exquisite draping at Lanvin, this city proves that it's in a class of its own. Narrowing down to the top...

Celine, spring 2010. Yesterday Phoebe Philo presented her first major collection for Celine . And to say the critics could hardly stand it would be an understatement. They're probably still smoking off the fashion orgasm that resulted from her clean, modern sportswear.

frame from here One of my favourite moments of the Harry Potter books is when Harry finds the Erised Mirror ("Desire" Mirror) in one of the rooms of Hogwarts. It was a mirror that reflected your deepest desires, what you truly wanted in that moment. Harry Potter saw his parents, and Ron saw himself holding the House Cup.
