Paris Fashion Week Favorites So Far

Valentino was just as lux as ever. Love the tree print. Any guess as to which star will show up in that yellow dress?Dries Van Noten was, hands-down, the brightest Fall/Winter show in Paris. It felt more spring, but I love out-of-season color.
Christian Lacroix is famous for his colors, prints, and over-the-top luxury. This collection feels so reigned in in comparison, I wonder if the designer has the economic scares. Still pretty, just not what I'd expected.

His menswear-inspired looks are a testament to how graceful the style can be. Christian Lacroix also paid homage to menswear with pieces inspired by matadors and soldiers. The complete collection wasn't cohesive, but even the breaks from theme were lovely. It's hard to argue with so many colors, ruffles and embroidery. Plus, I want that polka dot coat!
