Maison Martin Margiela Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011
Maison Martin Margiela is always very high-touch and artistic. This collection: fur, . braided leather, suede, strappy leather. The hole-y knits were very Rodarte-esque and some of the leather was clearly inspired by Western leather tooling.
The Western pieces were not my favorites, but the body skimming leggings and tunics are very wearable.

This is the new this. When you end up with $10 worth of weave and a lazy Susan on your head, it’s time to start re-evaluating your career choices.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Paris Fall/Winter 2011
Spring? No, ma cherie. It’s Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2011. With all the floral influences, it seems that John Galliano is in a spring-y kind of mood.
He turned models into living floral arrangements with cellophane-covered faces and sky-scraping hair that blossomed all the way up to the rafters. With punchy bits of aquamarine, purple, and marigold, this was a colorful way to kick off Paris Haute Couture.
Dresses and skirts were in full bloom with bursts of sculptural flowers and bud-like draping. Even the shoes took on the garden theme with strappy heels that twisted like creeping vines.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen florals for fall, but this is quite the explosion.

New year, new hair!
Hair guru Ken Paves worked his magic on loyal client Jessica Simpson and gave her a new hair style that is very blonde and very curly.
Jessica Simpson came out of the salon carrying the Louis Vuitton Monogram Leopard Stephen “Boston” handbag that we’ve seen her with before. This bag is from several seasons ago, but I still love it (leopard print!).
So what do you think of J. Simp’s new ‘do?
