Since we're done Keeping Up With Kanye (pun completely intentional) in Milan, it only means it's time for Paris and who better (besides Kanye) than Drake to bring in the glitziest of spring fashion from the city of light?

"I got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see" 

Mainly because I've looked at Dries Van Noten too many times - if too many times were even possible, regardless I will continue to look on endlessly. It encompassed many things that I feel very strongly about: rich colors, ethnic detailing, ruffles, pilgrim boho blouses, fringe, florals with ruffles, metallic, metallic with pleated ruffles...ruffles. The entire collection just got better and better as it progressed.

Drake asked, "what's a life with no fun? please don't be so ashamed" But what I purpose to you is: what's a life without extra large fur tuffets and beaded feathers dangling off of your clothing? (Please don't be so ashamed.) The lingerie inspired dresses acted as a basic within this collection that was so heavily embellished. Sharon Wauchob really mastered the perfect balance between adornment and wearability.

"Thats why I walk around with all this gold on" 

He's wearing Rochas, duh. (He probably has the fringy-floppy big bird inspired shoes too) Rochas was like a modern fairytale, pleated lamé, pastels, full organza skirts, and metallic brocades for all. Ultimately if Snow White and Zooey Deschanel, were attending the same tea party in Paris, they would both definitely be wearing Rochas. (count Drake in for tea as well.)

"Started from the bottom now we're here"

While Alexander Wang was never really on the bottom, he is definitely here now. The jackets, were very Cristobal Balenciaga,  classic and safe yet modern through the braided detailing. Tinges of Wang are starting to come through in Balenciaga, like crop sheer muscle tank, and the outside zipper detailing on the skirts. Experimenting with more color, and textures than his previous collection I can't wait to see what he brings next season.

"I bet we can make tonight the greatest story ever told"

 Rick Owens who was inspired by step dancing, incorporated 40 step dancers to show of his collection. The models were synchronized, clapping, stomping and whipping their hair back and forth. The performance was considerably memorable, and I have never seen anything of it's kind. As for the collection, I can say I am digging those dangling pom-poms, as well as the shoes with the white buckle, which seem to be the Marc Jacobs Pilgrim shoe and Nike Free Run melded together.

Chanel

All in the details. From first glance everything about this show seemed so Chanel, I was not bored of the classic put together glamor that is always displayed, I just yearned for something new. I claimed that  we'd seen this before, and we have. I took a look at the details photos and was of course impressed by the detail and freshness of the accessories, more particularly the bags. The globe, the boucle block bag etc etc. Also: the fur helmets, a yes in my book (or blog in this case)

Saint Laurent 

SLP has me more confused than ever. When Hedi Slimane announced the change from YSL to SLP, it just made me despise him for rebranding a classic brand, who I saw needed no change. I wanted myself not to like the new SLP, as if my distaste would prove anything. This season, sigh I'll admit I liked it for what it is, but THIS IS NOT SAINT LAURENT. In any way shape or fashion, it's not. It had detailed grungy-coolness, like a high fashion free-people. In other news Slimane attempts bringing back the denim-mini. Granted the classic YSL girl was never me, but is this the new SLP girl? 

Alexander McQueen

No words. Nun-inspired glamor. Speechless. Sarah Burton summed up Catholicism in only ten looks.

wow.

 Miu Miu

Basically a walking editorial. Take note: Dots, fur collars, knotted neckties. Also let the platform reign.

Kenzo 

Spoke to my soul in a way none other has this season. The set up, the music, the textiles... All the prints were graphic enough to be graphic while still being so wearable. The statement eye sweatshirt is this years Kenzo tiger sweatshirt.

Celine

Many people on twitter were bashing the Celine plaid, while I was like "no, its the perfect little red riding hood cape" And if I ever get asked to go golfing, hunting, or  hiking in the forest, I'll wear the moss colored coat on the right. This mossy textured coat is like camouflage for certain outdoor/recreational activities, I'm sure thats what Phoebe Philo had in mind.

 Givenchy

Grungy florals, statement sweatshirts, delicately ornamented skirts, Bambi Disney references, what more could you ask for?

 Acne Studios

Known for structured leather jackets, I wanted to show they have a broader spectrum that not many recognize. AKA Look at these beautifully draped skirts/dresses. Granted their jackets speak to me on a higher level, but they can do more than just that, and they proved it.

Issey Miyake

Bold yet functional. Key players were those graphic print pants and coats. I loved the pointed color detailing on the last look. I also want to point out how content the models all appear. I wonder if it's harder for a brooding model to appear content down the runway or in their natural brooding state?

I know if I was in these clothes I'd be pretty content.

 Balmain

One part 80's inspo, the other part Christmas inspo. The second I saw the first look my mind thought "its the red ornaments my mom loves" But really, no matter what inspo he drew from, it produced a phenomenal show. 

Balenciaga

One of my most highly anticipated shows this PFW. All those haters a few months ago bashing Wang, doubting Wang... Look at Wang now. When he came out after the show my heart fluttered with joy.

 I'll quote myself briefly "He's growing up so fast"

 Sure the collection was a smidgen safe, but he respected Balenciaga as a brand, and I'm sure he will build up his confidence in this position as time lapses. The shoes and crackled paint pieces were of my favorites.

Christian Dior

As Kanye once said "Christian Dior they don't make em like this anymore"

I recommend watching the show to get the full effect of the surreal chic aura.

The voices speaking in the show, as strange as they were, were engaging interesting and new. 

 But we'll talk clothing-wise.

Manish Arora

This collection was loud and fresh. The technical layered intricate prints reminded me a bit Mary Katrantzou, except he took on different silhouettes that she typically does. Statement pull over with fur, please let the statement embellished pullover never fade, its currently a reigning favorite of mine.
