my-astyle: Paris fashion week A/W 2011!

Last and important part of all the fashion weeks has just ended. Many designers were excited to show their inspirations for fall/winter 2011. We couldn’t wait to see what would be the highlights this year at worlds biggest fashion event!

Clearly everybody got to know the exit of John Galliano at Dior because of some racist statements he made against people. Since the left of Galliano at Dior, the media speculates about the designer that will take his place..

Galliano's designs, without him taking the ovations at the end.

Mr. Ackermann is being mentioned as a possible choice for Dior. Haider Ackermann, a Belgian guy that studied and lived is also the favourite of Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld.

The runway of Haider’s show was filled with a lot of leather, silk and suede, fabrics that will be very hot next season.. Under the sounds of Leonard Cohen’s A thousand kisses sleep, tall models walked their way over the runway with slim waists but more masculine details.

Jean Paul Gaultier honoured the older women from now by using his young models with grey, elegant hair pieces.A lot of suites, checkered trousers and blouses with high buttoned bows were spotted and tells us the show was very feminine and elegant. At the end, Jean Paul made his statement clear by letting the models carrying some grocery carts detailed with fur and silver!

The runway look I loved was the one from Stella McCartney. Day and night time looks mixed with both femininity and masculinity, some details that were seen more at the fashion week.

Daytime looks included balloon sleeve tops paired with pencil skirts or high-waist trousers. Sheer fabrics covered in polka dots and cocktail dresses with strategically-placed sheer panels made up McCartney’s evening-inspired looks.

Strange combination of fabrics, but like the masculine style of this runway!(Photo: Elsevier)

Who was seated front row ??

Always something i am curious about.. It seems as a designer you were exclusive if Kanye West was not on your guest list, but i spotted some great pictures of the fashionable elite that, in my opinion, deserve to be seated front row!
