It's Paris Fashion Week

Nestled in the mist of awards shows and red carpets, Paris haute couture Fashion Week kicked off January 19.  Featuring Spring/Summer haute couture designs fit for a princess, City of Lights does not disappoint.  Here are some of my favorites so far:

Alexandre Vauthier

Vauthier, known for sexy, hot gowns and designs where his models show lots of skin, definitely knows how to make a statement.  Vauthier showed off his artistic side and experimented with sisal, a lightweight, malleable fabric.

Stephane Rolland

Organic.  Sculpturesque.  Architectural.  Rolland did not stray from the buzzwords that have made him famous.

Atelier Versace 

Arriving on the arm of Lady Gaga, Donatella opened PFW fiercely!  Versace showed mostly hooded, glittering and sequined red-carpet-worthy gowns and beautifully tailored suits.

Giambattista Valli

The Italian designer built on ivory brocades yet gave each gown character with color blocking and twisting and draping fabrics.  Valli kept his floral and botanical motifs, but modernized his looks by blurring them, adding neon color and embellished embroidery.

Elie Saab

I cannot even begin to pick a favorite from Saab's collection.  Each dress as flawless and glamourous as the next, Saab showered the runway with fabric petals and blossoms.

I can't wait to see what the rest of PFW will bring.
