PARIS FASHION WEEK: MORE SKIRTS FOR MEN

It’s men’s Fashion Week in Paris again and we wonder how the usually extravagant shows are being put together, considering the fact that last time we heard, Paris was in lockdown with a curfew. But the show must go on, and at first glance we thought this was a female model – but it’s not. Lots of skirts for men on the runways this year. Many are described as “cargo skirts” to up the masculinity factor. This outfit is by Reese Cooper could go either way and it works with sneakers. Most of his clothes have that distinctive little clip on the chest- but what could it be used for?

Loewe Men Paris Fashion Week

CAN MENSWEAR IN PARIS TOP MILAN FOR SHOCK VALUE?

Looks like designers showing at Men’s Fashion Week Fall Winter 2020 in Paris are definitely trying to out-do Milan designers when it comes to shock value. Loewe’s clothing for guys is usually pretty wearable, but this outfit – which comes in several colors- is NOT for everybody. Only the boldest–or craziest guys will order this little number, but it IS fun to look at. Come to think of it, we can picture ONE celebrity wearing this…

Celine Dion Fashion Fashion Week

CELINE DION’S PERSONAL FASHION SHOW

It’s Paris Couture Week again, and that means Celine Dion is likely to show up with her stylist and trunks full of outrageous and slightly goofy fashions. Celine is photographed in a different outfit every time she walks out of her fancy Paris hotel, which is several times a day. Perhaps she is being paid for this highly photogenic fashion display. (We wish Celine would bring her hair stylist along to Paris, because that tight bun is not particularly flattering to her slender face.) Today she’s wearing a navy and white jacket with a fluffy yellow mini skirt and custom three tone shoes. Celine’s timing is perfect – she’s also in the middle of her European tour.

Facetasm Fashion Fashion Collaboration Fashion Week

JAPANESE BRAND FACETASM: LEVI’S WITH A TWIST

The men’s Spring/Summer collections are on the Paris runways and we were transfixed by an unfamiliar brand –Facetasm. Designer Hiromichi Ochiai’s collection was described as “unfinished completion.” The Japanese brand collaborated with Levi’s 501s and came up with a capsule collection of denim – and amazing trucker jackets. Smart move for Levi’s. All the models on the runway wore the same black lipstick and white wigs covering their faces so the audience wouldn’t be distracted from the fashion. In fact, you could barely tell male models from female. We think Japan is the new fashion capital of the world…

Dita Von Teese Jean Paul Gaultier Paris Fashion Week

DITA VON TEESE IS JEAN PAUL GAULTIER’S DREAM GIRL

If ever there was a match made in heaven, it’s burlesque queen (and lingerie designer) Dita Von Teese and designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Remember Gaultier’s sexy, S&M inspired wardrobe for The Fifth Element? Jean Paul invited Dita (who’s only 5’5”) to model in his couture runway show in Paris, and he named the gown she wore after HER. Dita is also appearing this week in Gaultier’s Folies Bergere extravaganza called Fashion Freak Show. It’s hard to believe that Dita is a natural blonde who grew up in California…

Best Dressed Kendall Jenner Paris Fashion Week

KENDALL JENNER IN PARIS: BEST DRESSED THIS WEEK

Sometimes Kendall Jenner looks even better OFF the runway than she does ON! We think she’s never looked more exquisite than she does here leaving the Louis Vuitton store during Paris Fashion Week. She’s quite elegant in this beautiful double-breasted suit – you’d never guess that last night she was getting rowdy at French strip club with a bunch of other models. She’s single these days – and looking for a guy with style also. We imagine she lands in Paris with empty suitcases because designers give her SO many free samples to take back!

Courtney Love Frances Cobain Paris Fashion Week

FRANCES COBAIN AND HER MOTHER COURTNEY LOVE BURY THE HATCHET AGAIN

Frances Cobain’s divorce might be the best thing that ever happened to her relationship with her mother Courtney Love. They’ve been estranged off and on for years, and Courtney was only too happy to step in when Frances filed for divorce from her musician husband of two years, Isaiah Silva. Frances wants to protect the inheritance from her father (worth over 165 million) and Courtney has been providing lawyers and advisors. The mother and daughter do share a love of fashion and forgot their troubles at Paris Fashion Week.

Fashion Week Paris Selena Gomez

SELENA GOMEZ GIVES PARIS SOMETHING TO LOOK AT

They don’t make ‘em any cuter than Selena Gomez, but she never seems to be as happy as she SHOULD be. But she keeps busy. She arrived in Paris for Fashion Week yesterday and she’s already been trapped in an elevator and had a wardrobe malfunction. Paris journalists are delighted to see that Selena has been changing her clothes four times a day. Her love life should be amazing but she seems to be haunted by her past relationship with Justin Beieber.

Bad Fashion Fashion Iggy Azalea Paris

IGGY AZALEA: SOME CELEBRITIES ARE JUST PLAIN NUTS

Iggy Azalea hit some of the shops in Paris before returning to the ritzy George V Hotel. We can’t help but wonder WHAT WAS SHE THINKING when she put on a fur lined overcoat, shades, and SANDALS in the dreary forty-something degree French weather? SO L.A. It’s get-ups like this that give people from California (she lives here now) a bad name. At least a ditzy name. Iggy was invited to several designer shows, including Viktor & Rolf, during Fashion Week and we sincerely hoped she upgraded her footwear for the events.
