PARIS FASHION WEEK ROUNDUP

A look from Balmain
Paris fashion week delivered a series of delights this season.  Starting with the eveningwear at Christian Dior, it came in graceful floor sweeping tulle in a variety of candy colored confections from pale mauve to deep burgundy.  At Lanvin, creative director Alber Elbaz celebrated his 10-year anniversary with a stellar collection.  I loved the bejeweled dresses and and statement accessories.  Check out the tiger choker shown below.  Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel sent out a series of cosmic looks with stalactites, crystals, and feathered creations that looked like they came from another galaxy.  But the sheer skirts layered over leggings and cut-out heels were out of this world.  Meanwhile at Balmain more was more with beautifully embroidered and embellished creations reminiscent of carefully crafted ceramics.
