Sadly Paris Fashion ended yesterday… So it is time to rate the last looks of our favourite fashionistas in Paris…
The perfect outfit for a Chanel presentation? Well, it is kind of easy to answer to this one: Black & White… The monochromatic duo has proven to be an elegant way to face Paris Fashion Week’s frenetic pace. Latest face of Chanel, Vanessa Paradis went for a classic tailoring version. We totally love the so Parisian touches she brings to her outfit: red scarlet lipstick, high heeled ankle boots… give the final feminine edge to it.
Lindsay Lohan has been in and out at the Paris Fashion Week (out from Ungaro where she doesn’t apparently collaborate anymore). Lilo showed how to work black & white with a rock chic spin on it. She is pairing black leather leggings, and a black leather jacket with a simple white shirt. Adding a pair of studded platform shoes, a metallic headband this is definitely a racy way of bringing together an outfit! So more in the Vanessa Paradis’ team or Lilo’s?

We’re all waiting for Spring… So we thought it was about time to check our wardrobe… Khaki Parka? Check. Cargo trousers? Not check yet. But we found a less expensive version of the go-go Balmain cargo trousers by Notify. Pair it with neutrals colours for a feminine impact.

Antik Batik, Gold Vivianne Bracelet, £24

Chloe, wood and canvas wedge, £425

Isabel Marant, the designer for cool girls, watched probably Grease over and over to create this Autumn-Winter 2010 collection. High Ponytails, large earrings, skinny Capri trousers paired with low heels, the Marant girl is a new alluring and ingenious Olivia Newton John. This Marant wardrobe will probably be extremely bankable: her spring-summer collection was sold out within a few hours on Net-A-Porter.
The wait is finally over… The whole Hollywood was on the red carpet yesterday for the Oscars 2010. Our favourite A-Listers got it all together for the red carpet event of the year. Some went down the safe route by opting for a Haute-Couture number. Avatar Star Zoe Saldana went for frills and drama in this ethereal purple gown by Givenchy Haute Couture – it is all in the pom-poms… SJP opted for a Chanel Haute Couture silver and yellow gown. The always glamorous Charlize Theron looked stunning in Dior Haute Couture.
It is probably time to give our very own awards. Our Most Alluring Award goes to Demi Moore in her nude ruffled gown by Atelier Versace. Young Star Award goes to Kirsten Stewart in her fabulous and fanciful strapless gown by Monique L’Huillier. Our Risk Taker award to Zoe Saldana – choosing the fun route proved she could make the red carpet a bit spicier!
Last day of the week for our denim shirt – this look from Tory Burch could be perfect for a dress down Friday or a Saturday night out. A silver skirt adds a girly touch or a smart touch for the office…
New Look, denim shirt, £20
Alexander Wang, Rocco Mini studded leather bag, £870
Zac Posen, Chain trimmed jacquard mini skirt, £780
Chloe, suede ankle boots, £186
Welcome to the Versailles court… Gold brocade, sequins, lame, lurex or fringing; it is Balmain’s take on a very rock-and-roll version of Versailles and classic French design. Christophe Decarnin, head of design at Balmain, charged his collection with sex-appeal especially in the awaited eveningwear collection. Opulent, rock and roll, and gold… there is no doubt that his faithful A-List followers Posh, Rihanna and Beyonce will be first in the ranks to be spotted in his designs.
Our journey with the denim shirt had to take us to the double denim stage and our style icon Alexa Chung shows us how to master the allure of tomboy chic. We doubted that going back to the double denim look from the nineties was really inspirational as a reminder of our high school years, but we changed our minds… with skinny jeans it works for us.
New Look, denim shirt, £20
Supra, gold and black sneakers, £107
Betty Jackson Black, black satchel, £32
Nudie, slim jeans, £89
Empora Style Spy
