RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week Fall 2015, Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture, Photos & Full Runway Video!

Vive Les Bretons: Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2015

Themes: We know Jean Paul Gaultier LOVES France; we know he likes to tear apart French codes; this season's Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture collection was VERY VERY French. Almost Too Mucheey according to some Fashion Writers. But I liked it! It was an Homage to Breton, Breton Crepes (not the fabric, but the food!), Breton sailor stripes, and anything Breton:

Colors: Blue/white, Breton stripes, black, orange, highlighter yellow,

Trends: Sailor Couture, Sailor pants, sailor collars, taffeta trench coats, velvet

Inspiration: Breton Headdresses

RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Fashion Week Fall 2015: Maison Margiela Fall/Winter 2015 by JOHN GALLIANO, Pics + Runway Video

Galliano's Gals: Maison Margiela Fall-Winter 2015 by John Galliano

The Look: John Galliano is BACK! At least, this was the perception from the Fashion Glitterati crowd gathered to see Galliano's Paris Debut for Maison Margiela. According to Style.com, the applause kept coming...and coming...and coming...pleading the designer to take his bow. He didn't. Now, back to the collection: only 30 looks (only since normally, this is the Ready-to-Wear "runway land" of 60+ looks, at least!) were shown. It was a display of Galliano "muses" such as Blanche DuBois, Marchesa Casatis--using models hunched over, askew cray-cray makeup; and iconic raw-hemmed Margiela standards--seen on jackets, dresses, skirts.

Makeup and Shoes--Maison Margiela Fall/Winter 2015

Trends: Art Deco 1920's and 1970's; fur skirts; Cousin Itt shoes; "Blocked" heels; leather and chiffon combined; neon makeup; black lace.

Colors: Black, mustard yellow; Cabernet red; orange; highlighter yellow; gold.

RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Fashion Week Fall 2015: BALMAIN Fall/Winter 2015, Pics + Full Runway Video

Balmain Fall/Winter 2015

The Look: 28-year old Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing was thinking--according to Style.com--of Paris in the 70's and Loulou de la Falaise as inspiration for this collection. And it's pretty obvious. It's very YSL--THE Yves Saint Laurent, of course--in the colors, shapes, those strong shoulders.

Inspiration:

Yves Saint Laurent (with Muse Loulou de la Falaise on the right)

Yves Saint Laurent designs from the Yves Saint Laurent Retrospective at Petit Palais Paris, 2010

Trends: Color-blocking; fringe; palazzo pants; strong shoulders; body-con dresses; ruffled dresses; plisse (mini pleated fabric); Mutton fur sleeves

Colors: Violet, yellow, black, green, orange, fuchsia.

Oh, and yes, Kim Kardashian-West went Platinum Blond:
