The Long Wait for Paris

First of all, I am apologies of the 'hiatus' that went for almost a month. Yup, hiatus. That's what I am calling my art of procrastination now. And now comes my usual excuses, I was 'busy'. No, seriously I was. Assignments is piling up for me for the past few weeks and also a sudden addiction to xBox 360 that is not mine - housemates. So yeah, I went on hiatus mode.

Now as I would want to put it after watching a series that shall remain unknown. You (whoever reads my blog) have two choice.
1.) To boo on me and criticize me of my procrastination.
2.) Push all the criticism you have and move on.
I would seriously recommend the latter. Less work and negativity.

Now for the long awaited (if ever) post of Paris Fall/Winter 2010 which was done like ages ago. But since it's still summer at Paris, no harm in covering it anyways. Bite me for out of date coverage.

Back to the main topic, Paris. This season it's about a few things. A return of minimalist, power dressing, and of course FUR. Also, this season, we celebrate the women with curves. Designers decided to go back to bosoms rather than the flat tracks. A sign to fight eating disorders and the skinny.

One of the designers against the skinny is Marc Jacobs. He called on a list of celebrated models for their voluptuous figures back on the runway. Some of them which happens to be my favourite, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima known to be the splendid Victoria's Secret Angels and others like Jessica Stam and Rosie Turlington. seriously, what empowers curves and body more than the Angels. Karolina and Alessandra is hot this season landing on the shows, ads and editorials. Kudos to them.

Also like he chose the path of minimalist similar to his own line for Louis Vuitton. Simple and classic. Definitely a slow down after a circus like act of afros for the last season but nevertheless makes a huge statement, especially the bags with fur on. The gowns were mind-blastingly seductive and gorgeous. Coco sure did rock the runway with that amazing floral like print evening dress. Love them all.

Another few who did minimalist this season were Celine and Stella McCartney. There were more but they caught my eyes. Stella McCartney did a series of fabulous day wear and cocktails for evening. A little short of material, if you ask me. not what you have in mind for winter but paired with the right pairing of tights, coat or boots, nothing can go wrong. And controversially, she opened the show with a fake recording of Tiger Woods and his mistress. What was she hinting? Dresses for the mistresses? They would be one fab mistress with Stella's dress. Woods can definitely afford it.
