Fashionista's March Madness, Round One: Paris
We've already seen New York, Milan, and London put together their best collections to compete in our first-ever March Madness tournament.
Now, the giants of Paris will take each other on. Some of the biggest names in fashion are in the mix--Celine, Louis Vuitton, Chloe, and Dior all made the bracket.
They're our closest match-ups yet!
Where Celine was quiet and understated, Louis Vuitton was sensual and showy--but being completely different didn't stop this match from going into an extra round.
Marc Jacobs went for the three pointers at Louis Vuitton with an elaborate set and a special appearance by Kate Moss. But this time, voters blew the whistle on repeating themes--allowing Phoebe Philo's "forward thinking" collection to run up the score.
Jacobs will have to concentrate on his New York win, as Philo takes this one for Celine.
WINNER: Celine
This match-up was a real nail-biter.
For every point Chloe scored for wearability, Dior matched it with fantasy. Then judges started giving out ticky-tack fouls: Chloe was deemed too girly by one voter, while another claimed Dior lacked coolness.
But it's a heartbreaking loss for Chloe fans, as Raf Simons shoots a last minute basket in overtime.
"Dior was like a fashion dream," said Dhani, "and sometimes that's what wins."
WINNER: Dior
UPDATED BRACKET: Celine and Dior move on to the next round.
Next week, we kick off with the quarterfinals!
