paris fashion week spring 2009

paris fashion week is in full swing and the line between art and fashion remains blurred. in paris, the term "ready-to-wear" takes on a whole new meaning, as in "i'm ready to wear this outfit to my cult meeting/s-and-m party/outer space/the future!"



comme des garçons. whether you're going for chimney chic or bondage beautiful, this line has it all!


hussein chalayan. it's important to have protective eye wear when engaging in interplanetary travel.


viktor and rolf. i don't know what to think. she looks like a futuristic robo-turkey. i will be wearing this outfit to thanksgiving dinner.

instead of a live runway show, viktor and rolf made a video using one model (shalom harlow) and a virtual runway. at the end of the video, all the shaloms stand on the runway clapping until they dissolve into pixels. are live runway shows going the way of the 8 track?


here are some highlights from the real world:


viktor and rolf's collection isn't all insanity and turkeys.


ann demeulemeester.




sonia rykiel's show was amazing. the models had dance parties, the audience interacted and there were birthday surprises. the line is very feminine and french and her attention to detail is impeccable as always. when i get rich i'm buying the entire line.
