Some Like It Haute: Looks from Paris Fashion Week
Bouchra Jarrar
For my first fashion week abroad, I marveled at the spectacular locations, from the ultra lavish Hotel Shangri-La, to the bright and airy space Musée Bourdelle, and the Muséum National d’Histoire in the beautiful and serene Jardin des Plantes.
Maison Martin Margiela
Highlights included Bouchra Jarrar, a former Balenciaga designer who is among the first to bring a Ready-to-Wear sensibility to Couture Week (Raf Simons at Dior followed suit), and Yiqing Yin, showing just her second couture collection, and standing out as one of the more unique and directional designers. I look forward to watching the careers of these exceptional young women thrive.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Couture, a thriving and essential aspect of the industry, brings together the best seamstresses with the most creative and innovative design talents to create the signature looks which perfectly encapsulate a designer or brand. Last month we were lucky enough to be invited as guests of couture e-tailer Modewalk.com to experience Paris Fashion Week and take in some of the best haute couture in the world. In the age of fast fashion, when a trend is shown on the catwalk and then trickles down to the masses at lightning speed, the intricate and custom nature of haute couture remains essential in driving creativity.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
