The last McQueen...

Fashion shows are over... now it's easy to move around town. Many of the black Mercedes, which filled all the hot spots to be, such as the Ritz, the Place Vendôme, les Tuilleries or the Trocadero, have disappeared. There's much less beautiful girls around and it's easier to get a table at the Costes. During ten days 91 collections were presented and many did not sleep... There were two or three big parties, as that of Roberto Cavalli or French Vogue's 90th Anniversary, or Grazia Francia's first year at the Opera Garnier. Paris proved once again that it is the Capital of the FASHION World, and no-one deserves the title more.

I've been to Alexander McQueen's runway show, whose collection was designed by Sarah Burton, his assistant for more than 10 years. And she didn't let us down: you could breath McQueen's spirit in the air, so pre-raffaelite, hard to wear but totally beautiful and imaginative. In the front row were Salma Hayek and his husband Francois-Henry Pinault, owner of McQueen. 

I also loved Marc Jacobs' collection for Louis Vuitton, a very Shangai 1930 style, colorful and original. I was disappointed by YSL's, borring and a lousy copy of the true Saint Laurent.

Of Chanel's 88 looks, presented on an incredible show orchestrated by Karl Lagerfeld, I only liked 10. 

Finally I'll tell you that Summer 2011 will be one full of color, with some Oriental reminiscences, long skirts, flat heels and the hippie Seventies as inspiration...

The rest is for us to decide... right?
