PARIS 2009 FALL

I am not sure how one addresses the ultimate chic collection, but I must scream Bravo and more to Alber Elbaz for a LANVIN for such perfection ..this is retro yet modern ----simple yet extravagant--Paris yet New York City-and chic to the nth degree.........................DIOR certainly comes in a close second , just not in the same vein----this was color and pattern --in a collection with homage to Poiret and orientalia----a collection that shows off the ateliers of Dior as well as the extraordinary talents of John Galliano
