1. Paris Fashion Week: From Dior Leather Dresses to Lanvin Sheer Bottoms
Paris Fashion Week has wrapped and we have a mix of highlights from the SS 2012
Paris events. Who went, who rocked and who flopped. Stand outs during Paris
fashion week were Lanvin and Dior and we also spotted some front row
fashionistas at the show. Check out our mini recap below.
The SS 2012 Lanvin runway show was exciting as usual with a few surprises. Above
we see an Olive colored deep v-neck silk gown with a sheer bottom. We’ve seen this
design do very well with Gucci and feel it will do well with other lines.

2. Fierce and elegant this sheer bottom, belted, cut out maxi dress sported an original
looking upper body design. We can’t see it in the photo, but the back is cut out as
well.

3. Above is a different variation on the typically long sheer maxi dress. We see a black
deep v-neck, belted, knee length dress with a sheer bottom. Very sexy.

4. Next we see that edgier side of Lanvin. The black bordered white knee length skirt
and the long sleeve peek-a-boo blouse are fierce in every since of the word.

5. Last but not least is the above front slit skinny belted dramatic v-neck knee length
wrap dress. This garment just looks wearable which is what we like about it. This one
can definitely go from runway to rack without a doubt.

6. Next is the SS 2012 Christian Dior runway. Above we begin with this sheer bottom
flowing gown with intricate strappy top. Again we feel like we’ve seen this before with
Gucci in the fall, but seeing it again isn’t so horrible.

7. Leather dresses have absolutely been trending lately and it looks like Dior expects
this trend to carry over to next spring. This tan colored sheath dress with pleated
bottm has an interesting mosaic trim on the sleeves and hem of the dress. We love
the detail.

8. Next the above pictured classical looking dress is something we expect to see on the
red carpet. The chiffon vertical ruffles give this dress a 1940’s elegant appealing
look.

9. Last but not least from the Dior collection is this long fairytale flowing white gown
with black ribbon waist detailing.

10. A Fashion Week wouldn’t be complete without Rachel Zoe. The front row fashionista
attended Barbara Bui’s SS 2012 showing. Upon returning home from sweeping all of
the fashion shows this month, Zoe travelled with an outrageous 13 bags of luggage.
Somebody’s a happy little fashionista!

11. From showing in New York to viewing in Paris Mary-Kate and Ashley were front row
fashionistas spotted at the Montaigne Market store. The famous fashion duo are
Fashion Week staples at any fashion event. It’s always a treat to see them come out.

12. Salma Hayek was a front row fashionista at Paris Fashion Week. She was in
attendance at her father in law’s Balenciaga SS 2012 runway show. For the first time
sitting front row was less appealing seeing as how the front bench broke and all of
fashion’s elite had to stand. I bet they’ll think twice before they laugh at a model that
loses her balance on the runway again. Karma!
