Fall 2009 Paris

Balenciaga Sets Tone for Paris?

liya kebede opens balenciaga.jpgAfter disappointingly monochromatic line-ups in Milan last week, Paris may be the ticket to a more colorful Fall 09.

Balenciaga showed this morning, on the first big day of shows at Paris Fashion Week, with Ethiopian-born Liya Kebede opening the show, the first black model on a Balenciaga runway in years (Chanel Iman also walked).

Could this be the beginning of a new direction for the season?

We wouldn’t count on it just yet - Balmain was the same story as it’s always been (and we’re not just talking about the clothes).

Balenciaga did book Jourdun Dunn for pre fall '09. Weird she wasn't in the show today.

I disagree with Balmain's negative reviews. Did anyone read District L's review? I agree with them. I think he created a good feeling.
