The outdoor catwalk made for a perfect backdrop for a show that was heavily inspired by young French aristocrats in the 18th century.
“Cara Delevigne opened the show with a colored short fringe hair piece and a baby blue dress. The hair was a highlight throughout – each girl with a different sorbet hue,” as excerpted from Vogue.com.

A good portion of the collection was a reinvention of the traditional tweed boucle suit. Hoods were added and tweed jackets were turned into jacquard parkas with peplum hips and paired with straight-legged tweed slacks to reinvigorate the traditional suit silhouette.

Cameron Diaz has been making the rounds at nearly every show during Paris Fashion week. She must really love fashion, either that or she’s “studying for a role” which is what celebrities claim whenever they are caught doing a lot of something. All the buffets I’ve been visiting all month have been…research…for a role…obviously.

How to run a company according to Lagerfeld means, saying "screw you" to the person that gave you your job.
"I have it in my blood," says the flamboyant designer, "When I was asked to Chanel, it was not trendy at all. I made something of it because I was given total freedom by the owner. What I do Coco would have hated. It's my job to keep Chanel updated."
When Lagerfeld took over Chanel, the owner said, "I'm not proud of the business. If you can make something, OK. If not, I'll sell it. What I did, [Coco Chanel] never did....The label has an image, it's up to me to update it."
With Karl, we know what to expect as he keeps true to the Chanel brand with the tweed jackets and little black dresses. The majority of the collection was white, off white or nude with some black thrown in for good measure.
Florence Welch performed during the white wonderland. The stage replaced the massive iceberg and volcanic landscapes of seasons past. There was a simplistic elegance to the collection. Lots of white, lots of pearls. Karl not only used layered pearls around the neckline, but also as belts. Very Chanel.

She looked stunning donning this beautiful white dress, which she paired with Christian Louboutin nude pumps. Her hair was swept back in a formal updo and it looked as if she had toned down her platinum blonde hair. If there’s a look Kate does well on the carpet, it’s simple chic. Never underestimate simplicity.
