PARIS FASHION WEEK: Balenciaga Showroom
SHOWstudio (Free subscription) | 10/05/2008
Even before Star Trek and the Cold War Space Race, Cristobal Balenciaga's remit was always to go where no man had gone before. Nicolas Ghesquiere continues this house tradition, albeit often more in the vein of Balenciaga's decidedly Sci Fi protege Andre Courreges. This season, Ghesquiere was inspired by light:... [ more ]

PARIS FASHION WEEK: Le Stand Off at John Galliano
SHOWstudio (Free subscription) | 10/04/2008
If anyone ever tells you fashion is glamorous don't believe a word of it. John Gallianos show is held way outside the perimeter of Paris in this rather unwelcoming steel bunker. Chic. We've ticked past the start time of 8, but as yet the doors remain bolted. I also swear... [ more ]

Balenciaga Lights Up the Catwalk at Paris Fashion Week
My Fashion Life (Free subscription) | 10/02/2008
The show I look forward to the most during Paris Fashion week? Without a shadow of a doubt it’s got to be Balenciaga. Nicholas Ghesquière single-handedly breathed new life into the blazer and brought florals back into the forefront of fashion. For Spring/Summer 09 Natalie Vodianova opened his indescribable collection, which in Ghesquière’s own words “played with textures to see how they reflect or...

PARIS FASHION WEEK: Giambattista Valli
SHOWstudio (Free subscription) | 10/02/2008

Night or day, town or country, that was your lot. It was pretty much the same story... [ more ]

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Balenciaga
Fabsugar (Free subscription) | 10/01/2008
To be fair, I featured the prettiest, sci-fi induced looks from Nicolas Ghesquière's Spring collection. And there's more where that came from, but these are the most spectacular. Never one to succumb to trends, the Balenciaga designer paves his own way, always delivering a new direction. His direction is clearly into the future, but a luxurious one. Some looks were pared down, in matted colors, consisting...
