Wow! Paris Fashion Week SS 2010 was jammed packed with goodness, as to be expected from Paris. So many collections, so much detail, and so much range. Paris fashion week managed to combine the strengths of New York, London, and Milan all in one week this round. My favorite collections to narrow it down were Balenciaga, Balmain, Chloe & Celine (i’ll elaborate on the junction with the ~ and percent ~ in a moment), Gareth Pugh, Kenzo, Lanvin, McQueen, and Tim Hamilton. But all the designers and looks featured here were the best of Paris fashion week so open your eyes and enjoy the edit that took days and days to produce. Continue reading below…

I was introduced to this Luxirare recently and have had a great time exploring the range of creativity present on the beautifully curated site. I can not really imagine a marriage of two more fitting things than fashion and food and to see them served up in this way brings light to my world. Featured here is an outfit created by the faceless gal behind Luxirare. She created this mesh two-piece ensemble to compliment the Margiela jacket, shown here as well, as a result of having nothing suiting to wear it with. Not a bad spurt of creativity if you ask me. I have only highlighted one of her garments but you should not miss Luxirare’s Michael Jackson Memoribilia as well as other pieces you can see on the site.
As for the Gastronomic goodness I have highlighted a range of Luxirare’s edible goods to give you a better idea of the entire aesthetic.
Fly [16x9] is a one of the best Fashion video production of the moments.

You may shudder at the thought, but you can’t deny it – big shoulders came back with a vengeance – it has been all about power dressing for the past few season, so Joan Collins, eat your heart out!
From New York to Milan, the catwalks unambiguously and unanimously presented the very best 21st Century spin on the 1980’s big exaggerated power shoulder. Tina Kalivas’s Fortune 2009 lookbook is filled with gorgeous tie-dyes and lacquer leathers, but you cannot miss those amplified shoulders popping up from the jackets and dresses. Mixed in among all the electric colours and the shiny bits of Marc Jacobs Spring 09 collection were peaked-shouldered black jackets and vests worn with wide-leg trousers cropped below the knee. Australian designer Illionaire were not even pretending to hide the strong 1980’s influences on their Fall/Winter 09 lookbook. The shoot and the power shoulders both reference the Mommie Dearest era. Even new Danish Design School graduate Anne-Sofie Madsen couldn’t resist adding some stunning height to her new looks.
And for those of us who can’t spot a shoulder pad without thinking of Dynasty, consider what Di Milo has to say: “[Big shoulders are] the closest we get to wings.”
We have compiled a gallery of runway, editorial and flashback inspirations of the Power Shoulders to archive some of the best examples of this ever-growing Trend. As with everything in fashion there are always the pioneers who introduce a trend 2 years before it spreads like a viral plague, in this case Margiela brought it back with a bang in F/W 2007 long before other designers began their interpretations.
Fashion Hairstylist Peter Gray is recognized for his exceptional cutting skills and lightness of touch – Gray established himself in the 90s as a leading force in the field of creative hair while working with Solve Sundsbo, Miles Aldridge and Richard Burbridge amongst others. He recently directed the hair runway for Martin Margiela, Junya Watanabe and Hermes. He has worked with pretty much every Vogue, Haper’s Bazaar, Numero…You name it ! For the recent Yokohama Hair Renaissance event in Japan, Gray created a hair show of extreme sculptural looks. See the backstage video & interview below (thanks to Dazed) – Pay attention carefully to the hair, you’ll see why he is a genius… More videos of Peter on cyanaTV
Maison Martin Margiela has always been non-conformist, from their Runways to their collection and ofcourse their sunglasses. We reviewed ‘L’incognito’ a while ago, and now here are their last Visor Sunglasses from the F/W 09-010 Collection – The single lens design is, somehow, comparable to aviators with a Margiela touch! Atypical, playful and unique – you can already buy them over at Colette for $550 !
THE master of concepts, THE fashion artisan and THE hidden identity of Margiela make each collection’s delivery one of the most highly anticipated in the industry. For Autumn/Winter 09 Martin Margiela did a very simple rooftop runway, overlooking the Eiffel Tower. There is absolutely no calling to make a huge runway production with his collections. The garments are so intriquite – from their conception to the weeks and perhaps months of work which go into each piece – that a quick walk by can hardly satisfy a fashion lovers appetite, so there should be nothing to obstruct those few moments of praise. It’s the lingering after taste that makes him such an fashion icon, leaving images in our mind that can sparsely be replaced.
Coco Rocha, the star of Jean Paul Gaultier’s fall winter show, continues in the same spirit for this beautiful Editorial “Esprits Couture” Styled by Jean-Paul Gaultier and shot by Sophie Delaporte for French business magazine: Les Echos, who’s guest fashion editor for the issue was the designer himself. Coco is wearing Jean Paul Gaultier FW2009/10. aswell as Comme des Garcon and accessories from Martin Margiela and Hermes. A lovely Shoot!
Creative stylists, Ben Gregory and Dean Beavis, work together, under the name Gregory Dean, to merge hair with art. Their wealth of talent, original ideas and eye for details has enabled them to create some truly amazing styles for editorial, catwalk and film. Here I have selected a group of their most eccentric works of art. Perhaps these hair dresses were an inspiration to Margiela’s hair coats from 2 seasons ago.
On the June 2009 VOGUE cover is the beautiful Cameron Diaz. the shoot was taken by Mario Testino. Not only Does she look gorgeous in the palm springs sun he is wearing some of the most beautiful earth friendly clothing around.

French Born hair director and owner of trendy pop up salon in East London, Charlie Le Mindu is a Hair Master. Surfing on the same trend as Martin Margiela with his Hair Dress, Le Mindu has a hairy imagination. He works from his studio salon based in Shoreditch, East London, and is also acting as Hair Director at Super Super Magazine. He has recently designed a new jewelery range alongside up-and-coming womens wear designer Gemma Slack. By incorporating hair and leather they have created a unique photoshoot. It looks like the ‘Hair Trend’ is going strong in Europe and we will definitely keep an eye on Charlie’s work…
The video will show under this
I really like this Black/White editorial and video made for Vogue UK shot by Nick Knight (co-directed by Ruth Hogben.)- The fashion story features the beautiful model Anja Rubik in a delicious series of black and white robes and outfits, using some of the best brands and designer names in the industry such as Martin Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Dior, Vivienne Westwood and Viktor & Rolf.
