Chanel hits the Paris Fashion Week catwalk.
Paris Fashion Week as always was a major destination for the designer crowd recently. Boasting some of the hottest names in the industry and an A grade guest list, Paris is the home of Haute Courture.
Naturally plenty of press were on hand to give a blow by blow description of each days high and low lights. Now that the closing ceremony has come and gone the critics have given their overview of proceedings and as always it has involved an over use of adjectives and overstating the obvious.
Alexander McQueen
Rather than contribute to the gigantic amount of press readily available online about the event I found a very interesting article in NYmag.com. Titled “What the Critics Said About Paris Fashion Week, and What They Really Meant” the piece analyses the claims of “experts” and breaks down exactly what they were trying to say.
In response to Robin Givhan verdict of “edginess” for the Washington Post the NYmag site says:
“Remember how Jay Z was going to retire and then popped up in Budweiser commercials? Yeah, well, "edginess" on the runway is a sellout, too. When everyone does it, it's just an eye roller.”
Glamour is still alive
Cathy Horyn of the NY Post wrote “If you were to mentally trace the silhouette made by a jacket’s extra volumes — the cubes, the wings of fabrics — you would roughly have the outline of the contemporary person in the street, with her layers.”.
NY Mag.com translation:
“If you traced the shadow of a model wearing a Rick Owens coat, it would match up with the shadow of a normal woman — hips included!”
As you can see it’s a fun post that cuts through a lot of the BS and jargon to call it like it was. So if you want to know what happened at this years Paris fashion Week, cruise over to NYMag.com for a lesson in the language of critique.

Pregnant Lily's all smiles in Paris
It was all smiles for Lily Allen at Paris Fashion Week as she proudly showed off her baby bump.
Fashion pals flocked to the 25-year-old singer during the Givenchy show yesterday to share her excitement.
Lily, who is expecting a baby with boyfriend Sam Cooper in February, then joined rocker Ronnie Wood and his new girlfriend Ana Araujo on the front row.
She ditched maternity clothes in favour of a crisp white shirt, single-breasted jacket and matching skirt – with a just a hint of red lippy to glam herself up.
But her glowing state was a far cry from her earlier mood – she was terrified of being caught in a terrorist attack.
Taking to Twitter, she said: ‘Oh god, foreign office have put people travelling to France on high terror alert!!! I’m in Paris already. Scared being here but scared to get on the Eurostar home.’

Kate Moss
Katherine Ann Moss (born 16 January 1974) known as Kate Moss , is an English model. She has appeared on over 300 magazine covers.[2] She is known for her waifish figure, uncommonly short height for a fashion model, and appearances in many advertising campaigns. She is also notorious for her high-profile relationships and party lifestyle. In 2007, she came 2nd on the Forbes top-earning models list, estimated to have earned $9 million in one year.
Moss was discovered in 1988 at the age of 14 by Sarah Doukas, the founder of Storm Model Management, at JFK Airport in New York City,[2] after a holiday in The Bahamas. Moss's career began when Corinne Day shot black-and-white photographs of her, styled by Melanie Ward, for British magazine The Face when she was 16, in a photo shoot titled "The 3rd Summer of Love". Moss then went on to become the "anti-supermodel" of the 1990s[citation needed] in contrast to the "supermodels" of the moment[citation needed], such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell, who were known[citation needed] for their curvaceous and tall figures.
Moss was voted 9th in Maxim's "50 Sexiest Women of 1999" and 22nd in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women of 1995". Men's magazine Arena named her as their Sexiest Woman in their 150th issue. In March 2007, Moss won the Sexiest Woman NME Award.[6] She made her first appearance in the British women's Sunday Times Rich List in 2007, where she was estimated to be worth £45 million. She ranked as the 99th richest woman in Britain.[7] In the 2009 Rich List, she was ranked as the 1348th richest person in the UK, with a net worth of £40 million.In July 2007, earning an estimated total of $9 million in the past 12 months, Forbes magazine named her second on the list of the World's 15 top-earning models list.
Moss ushered in the waif look in 1993 (which prompted much speculation over her weight) with a highly publicised campaign for Calvin Klein. Her depiction in photographs also drew criticism from then-President of the United States Bill Clinton, who spoke out against the growing heroin chic trend. When questioned about her weight, Moss commented "It was just the time. It was a swing from more buxom girls like Cindy Crawford and people were shocked to see what they called a 'waif'. What can you say? How many times can you say 'I'm not anorexic'?"[9] Moss found success in the industry despite being unusually short for a fashion model and has worked for many elite fashion lines.
In addition to being known for her modelling work, Kate Moss is also an international fashion icon.[10] She has garnered many awards for her style, including the Council of Fashion Designers of America's fashion influence award and a place on the Vanity Fair international best-dressed list.[11][12] In the early part of the 21st century she was, together with actress Sienna Miller, one of the main proponents of boho-chic. She appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair's September 2006 style issue. In the year of 2005–2006, her style was influenced by Rock and Roll.[citation needed] Due to her reputation, she is credited for setting numerous trends. In recent years, she has popularised denim cutoff shorts,[13] Ugg boots, ballet flats, Vivienne Westwood Pirate Boots, skinny jeans, waistcoat, Alexander McQueen's skull scarf, Louis Vuitton's Sprouse Leopard Cashmere Scarf, and the Balenciaga handbag,[14] as well as recently[when?] bringing blazer and ankle boots back into popularity.[citation needed]
In 2008, Moss was added to PETA's 'Worst-Dressed' Celebrities of 2008'[15] because of her frequent use of fur.Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Calvin Klein, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Missoni, Longchamp, David Yurman, Dior, Yves Saint-Laurent, Burberry, Stella McCartney, Rimmel, and Bvlgari. She has been featured in fashion spreads in most major fashion magazines including UK, US, and French Vogue magazines (as well as other international versions of Vogue), Another Man, Vanity Fair, the Face, and W. Moss has appeared on the cover of British Vogue alone 30 times, in addition to dozens of other international Vogue covers, and has been featured on the cover of 17 issues of W, including one issue with nine different covers that featured the model. W even names Moss its muse (September 2003 issue). She has worked with the most well-known photographers in the fashion industry today, such as Mario Testino, Mario Sorrenti, Steven Klein, Juergen Teller, and Peter Lindbergh, and won the prestigious Vogue/CFDA award from the Fashion Designers of America in July 2005 as Fashion Inspiration.
