Paris - Autumn/Winter 2007-8, Days 7-8
Hermes - Luxe leather jackets and coats, of course, formal suits and dresses, but still a little motorcycle edge.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Hermes/00090f.jpg)
Chloe - This seems like a collection of Chloe knockoffs in sensible colors. The charm is gone, the detailing. Too simple, too minimal, too not that cute.
Martin Grant - Proper Hepburn-esque (both of em) trousers and skirts. Adorably wacky - but not cloying - cocktail dresses.

![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Martin_Grant/00240f.jpg)
Antonio Berardi - Beautifully (and slightly dangerous) tailored suits and dresses, kimono sleeves and tight bodices.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Antonio_Berardi/00090f.jpg)
John Galliano - Like creepy dolls found in the attic. Louise Brooks and Marlene Dietrich dolls. Lots of ruffles, rosettes, and dust.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/John_Galliano/00330f.jpg)
Nina Ricci - A new label and a new look for Olivier Theyskens. Still long skirts, but less New Romantic and more Wood Nymph. Less costume (which is a negative to me) and more modern, natural beautiful woman.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Nina_Ricci/00430f.jpg)
Elie Saab - Are gothic french maids in our red carpet future? Full sheer sleeves and wide black leather belts are certainly not what I expected. Pleasantly surprised with the changes.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Elie_Saab/00130f.jpg)
Collette Dinnigan - Nice, pretty clothes. Dresses and trousers for a serious girl.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Collette_Dinnigan/00120f.jpg)
Louis Vuitton - Non-flapper 20s girls in a long, lean silhouette. Wide belts and classy lengths, nothing overtly sexy, but everything overtly pretty.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Louis_Vuitton/00370f.jpg)
Lanvin - Left Bank chic, without the 70s sexiness. Jewel-toned dresses over skinny black trousers. Black satin pencil skirts and ruffle-necked blouses.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Lanvin/00400f.jpg)
Miu Miu - Full 50s skirts, proper skirt suits in improper leather and seriously improper sheers.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Hermes/00090f.jpg)

Paris - Autumn/Winter 2007-8, Days 5-6
Stella McCartney - The first half was a little bland. Oversized shoulders on christmas sweaters and rather asexual (though mini) suits. Things started to look up with the advent of the party dresses, but ended far too quickly.
![](http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2007RTW/SMCCARTN/RUNWAY/00390m.jpg)
Emanuel Ungaro - Ohhh la la! Disco slink, sexy puffy jackets, grecian draped minidresses - a sexier Sophia Kokosalaki. The coziest fur pullover I've ever seen.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Emanuel_Ungaro/00240f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Emanuel_Ungaro/00260f.jpg)
Celine - The perfectly icy Parisian woman. All-business wool or satin dresses with defined waists, an untouchably sexy black suit with black satin shirt.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Celine/00350f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Celine/00420f.jpg)
Haider Ackermann - Painted on leggings, cropped 80s style jackets, lifeless dresses. All very Tilda Swinton-y. Weird yet boring.
YSL Rive Gauche - Elegant, meticulously put-together, but I feel a tad too *modern day* Catherine Deneuve. The sweet minidress take on le smoking, is wonderful though.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Yves_Saint_Laurent/00340f.jpg)
Jasmine Di Milo - So much going on, but so sexy and sleek. Definitely cool-girl. Poufy party dresses - maybe a tad over the top, but still fun, and slim little strapless numbers - just right.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Jasmine_De_Milo/00190f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Jasmine_De_Milo/00100f.jpg)
Chanel - Perfect tweed suit dresses, borderline obnoxious leather and plaid separates, and gorgeous beribboned and be-laced cocktail dresses with funky little bib necklaces.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Chanel/00040f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Chanel/00480f.jpg)
Sonia Rykiel - Dreamy sweaterdresses and much-too-sexy laces, ruffles. It's not hard to get excited again for Fall.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Sonia_Rykiel/00110f.jpg)
Giambattista Valli - White turtlenecks under sexy manly black suits, low-cut sweaters, and the most charming ruffles I've seen. Necklines and bodices and just elegant.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Giambattista_Valli/00340f.jpg)
Rue du Mail - Serious little suits and dresses with funny little tipped or rose-gathered hems.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Rue_du_Mail/00470f.jpg)
Bruno Pieters - Rounded hems, somber suits, glamourous 50s gold strapless.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Bruno_Pieters/00250f.jpg)
Alexander McQueen - Molded bodices of the most impeccable tailoring, molded bodices actually made of sculpture. Fantastically nightmarish hoods and fabrics and Cleopatra-eyes. Dark dreamy.

Andrew Gn - Black and white tweed, feathers, and ruffles. A little hohum with some standout minidresses.

![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Valentino/00470f.jpg)
Dries Van Noten - Quilted satins, a limp silhouette, a tad depressing.
Christian Lacroix - Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Those full sleeves, defined waists, jewel and fur details. Cozy sweaters. The most covetable dresses and tiny jackets. Elegant and cooool.

Loewe - Leather and suede and stiff satin, but in a ladylike manner. Full sleeved tunics and sexy dresses.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Loewe/00330f.jpg)
Sophia Kokosalaki - I dont know the type of fabric she uses, or if it's the method of her draping that gives the satin so much texture. Beautiful dresses, sexy trenches.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Sophia_Kokosalaki/00290f.jpg)
Veronique Branquinho - Yawn. Expensive, polished-looking Mexican panchos. Pass.
Givenchy - Ooooh, those wide-legged trousers, almost sailor pants. Tight navy business dresses. Polished, but not stodgy.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Givenchy/00040f.jpg)
Hussein Chalayan - Architectural dresses, fun stripes with mismatching striped aprons, pvc legging/boots, and one magically lit dress. Gorge.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Hussein_Chalayan/00350f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Hussein_Chalayan/00370f.jpg)
Karl Lagerfeld - Some suits (nice), some dresses (ok), some excitement (no).

Paris - Autumn/Winter 2007-8, Day 3
Balenciaga - WOAH. 100% departure from last season's C3PO. Not that I have a problem with this. The trousers look just plain perfect. I like a skinny leg, nerdy ankle cropping, and those roomy hip pockets. Oooh, that looks comfortable. Some more patchworking and bondage belts. Sexy and comfy.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Balenciaga/00070f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Balenciaga/00320f.jpg)
Junya Watanabe - Sexy motorcycle jackets, cropped and wrapped and wrongly put together but so very cool cardigans. The dresses and plaids are nice. Though maybe I'd pass on the Gestapo-y leather trenches.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Junya_Watanabe/00310f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Junya_Watanabe/00050f.jpg)
Vivienne Westwood - I cant fully figure out the pieces that make up this outfit, a skirt? leggings? corset? cardigan? But dont you want to look exactly like this, exactly this cool, this sexy, all the time??
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Vivienne_Westwood/00040f.jpg)
Or this?
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Vivienne_Westwood/00400f.jpg)
Jean Paul Gaultier - If I hadnt double-checked, I would think this was the Vivienne show and her's was the Gaultier. Both are hot though. Lotsa plaid here and spygirl trenches and did I say how hot this is?
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Jean_Paul_Gaultier/00070f.jpg)
Ann Demeulmeester - If I overlook the world's ugliest models (and, yes, I realize that *some* of them are men), some gothy dramatic high-necked coats and beautiful pouf skirts.
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Ann_Demeulemeester/00030f.jpg)
Commes des Garcons - I love every bit of this - even though it's a bit Springy. Skin-tight knits, ruffles, stuffed hands, black bunny ears, fluorescent eyeshadow. It sounds like a recipe for disaster, but instead it's comfy, sexy, fun, and funny. What more can you ask of something as silly as fashion?
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Comme_des_Garcons/00350f.jpg)
![](http://www.vogue.co.uk/ImageLib/320x480/Shows/AW2007/Paris/R-T-W/Comme_des_Garcons/00040f.jpg)
Christian Dior - 40s suits, full but womanly skirts, exaggerated fur details, defined waists. The colors, the dresses, the drama. Just perfect. Wearable straight off the runway. A hint of the decadence from the Couture show, but less dreamy and more realistic (except, I'm sure one's ability to buy them).

Vivienne Westwood - I cant fully figure out the pieces that make up this outfit, a skirt? leggings? corset? cardigan? But dont you want to look exactly like this, exactly this cool, this sexy, all the time??

Or this?

Jean Paul Gaultier - If I hadnt double-checked, I would think this was the Vivienne show and her's was the Gaultier. Both are hot though. Lotsa plaid here and spygirl trenches and did I say how hot this is?

Ann Demeulmeester - If I overlook the world's ugliest models (and, yes, I realize that *some* of them are men), some gothy dramatic high-necked coats and beautiful pouf skirts.

Commes des Garcons - I love every bit of this - even though it's a bit Springy. Skin-tight knits, ruffles, stuffed hands, black bunny ears, fluorescent eyeshadow. It sounds like a recipe for disaster, but instead it's comfy, sexy, fun, and funny. What more can you ask of something as silly as fashion?

Christian Dior - 40s suits, full but womanly skirts, exaggerated fur details, defined waists. The colors, the dresses, the drama. Just perfect. Wearable straight off the runway. A hint of the decadence from the Couture show, but less dreamy and more realistic (except, I'm sure one's ability to buy them).
