THINGS: Our Favourite Paris Fashion Week Trends.

The big wig Fashion Weeks came to a close a couple of weeks ago, but the drama still continues!  Canada has been busy as Toronto Fashion Week wrapping up a few days ago and Vancouver’s has just begun.  Our heads are still stuck in Europe, and we’re already dreaming (and preparing) for the Spring 2013 season.  Let’s travel back in time for a minute as we look back at our favourite trends from the Paris runways! -annatfabulous :*

DRAMA- Maybe it’s because it’s Paris, maybe it’s because this is where the big girls play, either way, there was DRAMA on the runways.  Capes, ruffles, shapes and shoulders.  The looks were STRONG, bold and fearless.  Bring it!

FURRY FRIENDS– K.  By no means are we condoning the use of fur, it just looked incredibly fierce on the the runways!  Time to scoop out the FAUX versions.  Inspiration is ok, right?
