Amy Winehouse Inspires Jean Paul Gaultier Fashion Show
Jean Paul Gaultier presented his haute couture runway show this week during Paris Fashion Week and the entire show, including the clothes, models, and music were all inspired by the late Amy Winehouse.

It was like an army of Winehouse clones marching down the Paris runway. The models were all done up in beehive wigs off various colors, thick winged eyeliner and even Winehouse’s iconic drawn on mole.
Paris Fashion Week: Valentino Spring 2012
Paris Fashion Week has been trucking along and the one show that everyone was raving about was Valentino. Surprisingly, not many celebs turned up for this runway presentation. Well, except Cameron Diaz, but she’s been going to every Designer show all week, so I’m not excited to hear about her anymore.

The only way to describe the Valentino Spring 2012 show is delicate, heavenly and simultaneously modern yet vintage?

More of Hollywood elite showed up for Chanel’s Spring 2012 Couture show in Paris.

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.

Paris Fashion Week: Versace Spring 2012
It’s Paris Fashion Week, which means more frequent flyer miles for celebs from La to Paris.

Besides the best fashion, it’s an excuse for celebs to party overseas. For the Atelier Versace Spring Summer presentation, Cameron Diaz and Diane Kruger stepped out in style and even partied with Donatella Versace after the show.

As for the fashion itself…Versace kicked off the Spring 2012 season with a collection of pale grey, gold, yellow, lime green and orange red gowns and mini dresses.

Prada Recruits A-Listers For Runway Show
Adrien Brody, William Defoe, Gary Oldman, Emile Hirsch and Evan Rachel Wood’s new fiancé Jamie Bell, all ditched the glamour of Hollywood this weekend to head to Milan for a Prada’s menswear show. No this wasn't a weird fashion version of a male bonding trip, these guys all modeled the collection themselves.

Instead of parading around the actual red-carpet at this Sunday’s Golden Globes, all these dudes were stomping down Prada’s faux red carpet in a Hollywood meets fashion runway show.
Alexander McQueen 2012 Spring/Summer Ready-to-Wear Collection Offers Femininity
Thankfully, there were no casualties on the Alexander McQueen runway as the models all walked the catwalk with head masks. How those girls did it is beyond me, but that’s why they get paid the big bucks.

Sarah Burton unveiled her 2012 Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collection for Alexander McQueen during Paris Fashion Week and to no surprise her collection got rave reviews.

This was Sarah’s third collection for the fashion house and it is being said that she brought “fragility and femininity to the catwalk.”

What you saw during the show was a lot of ruffles, form-fitting jackets, and silvery and pink dresses with a lot of sharp tailoring.

37-Year Old Kate Moss Walks Louis Vuitton Fashion Show and Launches Jewelry Line
Kate Moss is causing havoc in Paris.

The 37-year-old British supermodel just walked the runway for Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2012 runway collection for Paris Fashion Week. While 37-years-old is so far past retirement for most models, Kate Moss will be pushing a walker down the runway when she's 85, puffing on an electronic cigarette and wearing a LBD with plunging neckline like it's no big deal.

Kate closed out the Marc Jacobs designed LV show last night in a white laser-cut feathered mini-dress. She wowed audiences proving that yep, Kate Moss has still got it. The catwalk wrapped itself around a sparkling white carousel while famous faces like Uma Thurman, Alexa Chung, Rachel Zoe, Olivia Wilde, Nicole Richie and Anna Wintour sat front row.
Karl Lagerfeld's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection Inspired by the Sea
Karl Lagerfeld unveiled his spring/summer 2012 ready to wear collection for Chanel in Paris today and the collection was nothing out of the ordinary. Simple outlines and lose cuts. Conservative meets chic.

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.

The new line, dubbed KW by Kanye West debuted it's Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2012 collection and Kanye wants you to know that he isn't just a "celebrity designer." This isn't Sofia Vergara for K-Mart, this isn't Madonna for Macy's, Kanye West is a full-fledged designer says Kanye West.

He revealed, "I'm so scared. I'm so nervous," which can go down in history as the first time Kanye West isn't obsessively confident about something.

"The biggest conversation I hope I can end tonight is the whole 'celebrity designer' thing. That's the biggest hurdle when you want to get amazing people to work for you," says Kanye.
