Sorry that this post is coming super late but when the international fashion weeks were ACTUALLY happening, my internet was shaped and viewing collections on style.com was super dooper painful. I managed to download some style.com videos during my off-peak internet time though. Gotta love their little recaps. Some say "skip the commentary, just show the clothes!" but I say no runway review...

France may well be the world's fashion capital, but when it comes to suiting up pooches, America does it best. At least so says young French designer Celine Boulud, who is bringing a canine enterprise from the United States to France. "Canine fashion is all the rage in New York," she said in an interview. "There are boutiques for dogs on every street corner, and almost all the dogs...

Debora Muller (ONE Management) at Dries van Noten. Compared to some of this season's breakout stars, newcomer Debora Muller registered a bit under the radar. But her androgynous, winsome look was still championed by some of fashion's heavy hitters. The 18-year-old got her start at BCBG Max Azria , followed by runway stints at Hervé Léger and Rad Hourani . After skipping London Fashion...

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...

As always, the best Fashion Week is last! The shows in Paris gave spring 2010 its defining trends. From harder couturelike construction at Balenciaga and McQueen to the feminine froth of Chanel and Nina Ricci, it was a season of choice. 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. Celine has had four designers since 1997, and Philo has been off the fashion scene to spend time with her family for the past four...

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. In terms of fashion... what would you see on that mirror? I'd see...

Stella McCartney today went head to head with her assistant turned competitor, Phoebe Philo, when they staged catwalk shows in Paris hours apart. The two designers were best friends a decade ago, when McCartney brought Philo to the Chloe label as her chief assistant. When McCartney left to set up her own label, Chloe promoted Philo to replace her. Philo's success for a while eclipsed that of her erstwhile...
