Frida Giannini, Gucci's creative director, described the Spring collection as being for "modern amazons; an intellectual tribe of exotic women, seen through an urban lens." What this translates to, apparently, is "tribal" detailing, equestrian styles, and lots of color. More »

Fashion Show: Narciso Rodriguez

Sadie Stein — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:30:00 EDT

Narciso Rodriguez is known for architectural shapes and a lot of tailored seams. You certainly got some of that in this latest collection, but I gotta say: I was not feeling the love. Yeah there were a few very pretty romantic touches and a couple of interesting silhouettes, but it was one of the least breast-friendly collections in a week not known for kindness to busts. He's cited ninjas as an influence here, so I guess showcasing curves doesn't rate high, but even by the dictates of "fashion as art" I found this troubling! Am I being too harsh?

Fashion Victims: Paris Couture Week Brings Out The Megafans In France

Sadie Stein — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:30:00 EDT

When you think about it, going to a fashion show dressed head-to-toe in that designer's work is like going to a Yankee game in full pinstripes. Read: kinda lame.

But hey, the rich are different from you and me! And as evidenced by the getups after the jump, the shows of Paris Couture week are a great excuse to wear some rad outfits without the pressures of The Carpet. Click through to see the fashions of Liv Tyler, Eva Mendes, Anna Wintour, Patricia Arquette, Helen Mirren and Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter. More »
