PFW, 1

 It’s my first time at Paris Fashion Week, and I am loving it! It is completely crazy-bananas, like, even crazier than New York and London combined (and probably Milan as well, but I haven;t been to Milan for Fashion Week, yet, so I can;t really judge). There are more street style photographers than actual attendees, and the photographers literally swoop in all at once every time they see something they like. If that something happens to be someone along the lines of Anna Dello Russo or Ulyana Sergeenko, they will literally trample over one another to get a photo. Trust me, I’ve been shoved and trapped more times than I care to remember. But I’m not complaining, because yes, I love it. I try to not get stressed out by the craziness, instead I almost try to laugh at it. Because, really, watching photographers literally climb on top of one another to get just one shot is pretty funny. Here are photos from my first day around PFW, and, despite the fact that there are way too many, keep in mind that this is about 1/4 of all the photos I could have published. And stay tuned for more insanity from Paris!

How do you think it is, trying to get through airport security with that bag?

PFW: Dior AW11

So, in case you didn’t know, 
or have been living under a rock recently,
there has been a lot of controversy surrounding 
John Galliano and Dior.
He allegedly made racist remarks, which he denies
Then got suspended from Dior.
Then a video of him surfaced, where he states that he “loves Hitler”.
He was then promptly fired from Dior,
and will stand trial, since, in Paris, such remarks are illegal.

The opinions of the Fashion Elite are divided;
 some are disgusted
some have jumped to his defense, saying that he only said these things because 
he was obviously provoked and under the influence, 
some remain mum ( Nicola and Gaga, I’m looking at you),
and a select few (Pat Field) think it’s all just a farce.

The future of the John Galliano Line (which is funded by LVMH)
 is, for the moment, unsure
and there is no successor so far,
but for Dior, the show must go on.

And go on it did.
And it was fantastic.
However you feel about the remarks, you cannot deny that Galliano,
and the team at Dior, are pure genius.
Although it is unclear how much is of the collection is
Galliano, and how much is the design team,
 it is gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
