Yep, that's Elle Macpherson in the mix. Strange to see her amongst fashion's hot young things, but then again, it's also strange to see her back on the catwalk, (we'll get to that in another post). In the meantime, which star looked most fab at the Louis Vuitton show yesterday? Is it Elle in her Parisian chic leather pants and cardi look; Alexa in her LV tweed coat dress and black opaques; Daisy in her cute grey knit and leather skirt, or Natalia in her mega-mini printed dress and boots?
Well I hope you like beige folks, 'cause Hannah MacGibbon offered little else for Chloé's Winter '10 collection. Filled with boxy coats, pleat-front pants, slouchy knits and the odd piece of leather and fringing, this range will appeal to the fuss-free woman who relies on classic staples.
But unlike Celine's brilliant beige offering for Spring '10, this wasn't all about minimalism and clean lines. MacGibbon made sure there was a touch of playfulness to her '70s and '80s inspired pieces. A peek of washed denim, embellished separates, and cute pussy bow detailing really saved this collection from being a little too bland. Thank goodness! Peak through our gallery to see the top 10 looks.

Can you believe tomorrow's the last day of Paris Fashion Week? That means we've already gone through a whole month of international Fashion Weeks. Crazy, huh? New York, London and Paris all delivered some mighty fine runway moments, but we'll get to that later. For now, let's stalk the front row crowds for one last time. Beth Ditto, Lindsay Lohan, Leigh Lezark, Kylie Minogue, Alexa Chung — they're all here looking their fashionable best.
Are you ready to (sniff) say buh-bye to the French front row crowd?
As expected, Chanel drew quite the impressive front row crowd. Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa Paradis, and of course, our fave British lady Alexa Chung. Check out her quirky-chic combo of a classic tweed jacket, floaty white blouse, black mini and adorable Chanel basket bag. Only Alexa could really get away with this. She's finished off the look with sheer polka-dot tights and patent ankle boots. Are you a fan?

You get the impression that whatever Karl wants, Karl gets. In this Chanel Winter collection's case, that would be icebergs flown in from Scandanavia to create a frozen runway sculpture. What, are you suprised? Let's not forget he did give us a barnyard complete with hay for Spring so it's not all that crazy.
If you like your Winter clothing a tad on the fuzzy side, you're in luck. Karl created a furry-licious collection complete with shaggy boots, coats, shoes and even short shorts. But get this, it was all fake. Yep, vive le faux fur! Texture featured heavily throughout most pieces, with key fabrics such as tweed, cosy mohair, and twisted fringing updating classic Chanel silhouettes and separates. Luxurious, extravagant and just a tad OTT, take a walk through our top ten looks from Chanel's Winter '10 show.
I've always heard Alexander McQueen's collections were emotional. No doubt, his final one was. The show notes read: "Each piece is unique, as was he." McQueen cut the collection "on the stand" just weeks before he took his own life. McQueen, always ingeniously fusing history and the future, orchestrated a collection containing digital prints and inspired by Byzantine art and Old Master paintings. We know the McQueen show will go on — succession rumours of Gareth Pugh or Olivier Theyskens swirl — but for now, a final round of applause.
With all the red carpet hoopla we almost missed out on a few stellar Paris shows. Notice I said almost. Luckily I've madly caught up, and let me just say after lusting after ballgowns, ruffles and feathers for the past few days, I'm now firmly back on Planet Fashion Week. Hello luxurious knits, tailored pants and boxy dresses, oh how I've missed you!
Here are my top ten picks from key designers such as Stella McCartney, Céline, Karl Largerfeld, Isabel Marant and Yves Saint Laurent. Get ready for some (more) major Winter drooling.
Rumours were circulating this week that Lindsay Lohan might not be present at the Ungaro Autumn show leaving chief designer Estrella Archs to bow alone. Well, she didn't turn up and reportedly was not even invited. Speaking to WWD, Ungaro owner Asim Abdullah simply commented, "She's not involved in this collection." Her appointment at the house has always been controversial. Her first (and only) collection received poor reviews and trouble began to escalate late last year when the CEO who appointed her resigned. Lindsay is currently in Paris attending shows including John Galliano where she caused such a scene that Carine Roitfeld made a sharp exit. Ouchies.
