Yves Saint Laurent - Runway Review
Think YSL and one thinks strong, powerful Parisian woman. For his final collection, Stefano Pilati did her justice with a bold collection that had elements of Helmut Newton encapsulated within his love of the eighties. Strong tailoring reigned supreme, with the box shoulder most prominently featured in leather. The lines are clean, complemented beautifully by high-waisted trouser suits, leather T-shirts, pencil skirts and the classic trench. For dresses, it was all about the chainmail—pieced together in sexy cutaway and backless formations. Evening was stunningly simple; long-sleeved columns adorned with oh-so-simple chains and metal bracelets shaped in the form of a calla lily. As a tribute to the late, great Saint Lauren himself, Pilati’s last look featured a Le Smoking tuxedo coat with the lapels in silver lamé.

Givenchy - Runway Review
Despite the pitch black and freezing cold Lycée Carnot venue, Sunday night in Paris was electric hot, courtesy Riccardo Tisci. His fall Givenchy collection was packed with energy—helped, in part, by a red-and-white light installation that, set to drum beats like a thoroughbred’s gallop, followed a series of steel rings suspended from the ceiling. This was a show of major horsepower (Ferrari, be damned). Equestrian motifs wove through the entire collection, tinged with a whiff of Seventies glamour, with each model shod in riding boots made of some seriously thick, yet refined, leather that elongated the overall profile of the leg. Tisci tackled a Guy Bourdin moment intertwined with his Seventies rift; the sharp tailoring on the riding jackets coupled with silk jodhpurs (piped beautifully) while true showpieces in leather and fur were colorfully spliced on jackets cut with short, angular sleeves. For dresses, Tisci tackled a softer element, showing linger-like shifts that boasted lace-appliqué and camisole-like tops.
P.S. Hirshleifers carries Givenchy! :)
