Paris is hot... Infernal traffic, lots of people in shops and no places in restaurants. It's Fashion Week. Twice a year hundreds of buyers, Fashion editors, models and bloggers land in town... Even Lady Gaga was in Paris and modeled for Thierry Mugler.
On Thursday, at 10 am (weird time for me), at the entrance of the beautiful and historic Hotel Crillon, a crowd of photographers and black limousines was enough proof that something important was about to happen. And so it was: we were all gathered there for Nicolas Ghesquière for Balenciaga's runway show. Nicolas is considered a true artist by the press and his collections generate much expectations.
The floor of the room, even our seats, were all full covered with white tiles, bathroom-like. Everyone was already there... Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, Emmanuelle Alt (Vogue Paris' new Editor in Chief) and many French actresses. Balenciaga's owner had the generosity of seating myself in the "front row" and that's very important.
The show was short but intense: thirty-three looks and all models wearing a very original make-up: highlight on the eyebrows, which reminded me of the movie "Blade Runner." Many had their hair bleached, almost white.
Overall a very graphic collection, with some leather, mesh, under-the-knee length skirts, all very original and easy to wear everyday... Without a doubt, a talented collection. Even too much for me, I wouldn't know how to dress like that...
We went to congratulate Nicolas Ghesquière backstage and he was very kind, charming and serene...
No stardom à la Galliano!!
