a crazy perspective: Kanye @ PFW

I think this must have been taken with a fish-eye lens. It's just so cool.

McQueen: lets talk about the harnesses...

I think I agree with Suzy Menkes thoughts on Sarah Burton's F/W 2011 collection for Alexander McQueen:

"Many of these dresses were beautiful, with their haute couture aesthetic and workmanship, like tiny zippers running vertically around a skirt hem. But it was dispiriting to see a female designer (and on the centennial International Women’s Day) following the McQueen misogyny by strapping her models into harnesses. Take them off and there were lovely dresses, including a column of white chiffon far softer than Mr. McQueen’s own style."

What do you think? The harnesses add a certain fetishism to the looks, which is provocative in contrast to such elaborate and stunning gowns. However, I feel like if you take them away, you don't really lose any of the artistic value or wow-factor. Are we right, or are Miss Menkes and I missing the point?

Louis Vuitton: my beautiful, dark, twisted bellhop

Marc Jacobs showed his F/W 2011 collection for Louis Vuitton in a two-story tent in Paris this morning. He was inspired by the hotel lifestyle, clearly, and his models arrived on the runway in cage-like elevators. It was a spectacle to be sure, featuring supermodels Jessica Stam, Carmen Kass, Amber Valetta and a smoking finale by Kate Moss. Apparently Naomi Campbell walked the show as well, but her face was obscured by a cap. Check out the video of the runway show below, via Styleite:

paris fashion week money shot: Kanye & ADR...

I mean, it was only a matter of time, right?

Can we please weigh in on who looks more fashion in this photo?

Anna Dello Russo has the glasses and the feathers, but Kanye has those red shoes.

Discuss.
