Fall 2013 Paris

Yes, the photo at left is from a real runway show in Paris. Moncler is known for pulling some crazy stunts at their runway shows. In New York, it created a scary-looking army of 370 models on risers; it showed fall 2012 in an ice skating rink; and today, Moncler sent live animals down the runway.

Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli might have cited paintings by the Flemish masters and "Calvinist simplicity" as inspirations for their fall 2013 collection--but we couldn't help thinking of the Brothers Grimm.
