Let me see your mullet. Photo: Imaxtree On day one of Paris Fashion Week, Olivier Theyskens sent out 27 of 33 looks that were short in the front and long in the back at Nina Ricci . It got us thinking … what else has something short in the front and long in the back? Mullets! By the week's end, eight different designers took on the style, from Yves Saint Laurent to Emanuel Ungaro . Okay, so technically...

The Givenchy show last night made me think of the kind of looks you see on Parisian street style blogs at the moment. Lots of leather and denim. There’s a trash look that’s cool right now, and you have to...

And we're still counting.It's somewhere near the middle of Paris Fashion Week, and we're still looking to see if designers still have a tin ear to the issue of minority models, or rather the lack thereof on runways.As we have...

Olivier Theyskens definitely stuck to a brief with this collection for Nina Ricci. The silhouette was obvious from the beginning, a dress with a cutaway front and trailing skirt, in various autumnal shades of brown, beige, gold and mustard. This may also be the collection that single-handedly brings back sheer black tights, as they looked perfect with the sculpted, dance-inspired dresses. Click the...

The item of clothing to put under the microscope from the Spring New York collections is the pants. Pant play has been creeping up on us — from Louis Vuitton's cropped and tailored trousers to Nina Ricci's silky pajama pants — but no item of clothing was rejiggered more than the pant. While Harem pants and slinky trousers have dramatic flair and seem to float down the runway, the real life wear is...

If you’re going to Paris with the intension of some big shopping, you might want to do some research before your trip. What type of shopping are you looking for? A lot of shopping for reasonable prices, or are you looking for an expensive designer-thing to spoil yourself a bit? Luxurious souvenirs, jewellery, accessories, trendy ready-to-wear, [...]

Bloody hell, Paris was brilliant and why did I lose track of it so? How do fashion editors and writers do it without gouging their eyes out from overuse? I haven't a clue. (Being paid to do it must help,...

The pre-fall shows are almost unfair – they hint at what our favourite fashion names are going to offer, but make us wait until Fashion Week arrives several weeks later to provide us with a complete and satisfying picture. That said, the pre-fall collections get me through many a dreary January day. The [...]

1. The models are too thin. Wait, are they? Spain and Milan ban “too-thin” models after two beauties die from anorexia. New York fashion week adopts guidelines that say a lot and accomplish nothing, with the most frail models simply disappearing from the NYC shows for that season. 2. America’s Next Top Model [...]

I found myself nodding vigorously several times while reading Eric Wilson's article in NYT, so I have to quote a good chunk of it here: The appearance of so many shoes that were either ingenious, architecturally marvelous or potentially murderous gives credence to what some designers have predicted is a fashion movement away from the It [...]

Last Paris Fashion Week SS08 post! Gosh, it's been such a busy time of the year I haven't had the time to blog about as many designers' collections as I would like to, but here are the last few collections. Nina Ricci This is one of the shows we've been all waiting for. Olivier Theyskens totally got my attention when he said the theme was on 'a group of girls you'd see on the street in the early morning...
