After discovering jewellery wonders at London Fashion Week and all those trends of embellishment, studs and pearls, I think I can officially say that jewellery is making a come-back. However, the sales figures seem to disagree, since it is apparently one of the sectors which suffer the most from the crisis (LVMH announced a 34% [...]

Christine Centenera, fashion editor and stylist for Harper's Bazaar Australi a really captured my attention when she wore that super sexy Givenchy spiky studded heels during Paris Fashion Week. Her eclectic style is quite an obsession of many now: a little rock 'n' roll, playing mostly with muted colors and sick shoes. A self-confessed sucker for anything with studs, metal detailing of patent leather,...

Sure you might say there's no challenge in dressing when the sky's the limit... but honestly there's too many examples au contraire to list, that you have to give Vanessa Traina a little credit. She looks more comfortable in Givenchy than most people in H&M. And for that she's a Fashion Week Favorite. jak & jil

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...

Paris fashion week ended with the inevitable failure of the Yohji Yamamoto brand and the theatrical (as always) Alexander McQueen show. Yohji Yamamoto is one of those cult brands that only a small circle of customers follow. However, when every other brand is creating a niche to support its vision, Yohji has failed to do so. Balenciaga has used its Motocycle bags and the capsule collections to make...

Paris Fashion Week usually gives rise to emerging runway stars, but this season truly overran with tried-and-true favorites.

‘The head scratching effect’ is definitely there, Miss Phelps, only that it is caused by your review of some of the strongest collection that has come out of this season’s fashion week. So let’s contemplate upon what you derogatorily dare to call ‘bucolic’. Well, yes, K. Lagerfeld did go bucolic for Chanel, but face it, every time he brings out a new collection I’m...
