BACK with a bang/

Balmain.  My first show in Paris this season and a great way to come back to you!  Everyone is still in love with this house and so am I.  It all starts out innocently enough w/ simple hair and lounging around the hallways of Le Grand Hotel but as soon as first looks are called..  BAM!  The girls come to life and the game is on!

DON'T touch that dial/

The picture at Chanel Couture is just fine!

This season, Karl and Co. really put it on. And although they rarely allow backstage during their collections, lady luck was on my side this time.

GREY is the english spring/

It def rains in England, but Gareth Pugh's spring collection opened up the Paris season on a ray of sunshine; gorgeous grey clouds shining through with detail and workmanship at an incredible presentation. The Hot hot hot backstage was an understatement of a makeup sauna that was one of the most calm I can remember. Who would have thought..  No complaints, no screaming, just a walk in the rain.

GUNS blazing/

Get off the plane and get your guns out! We're in Milan, kid!! 
It's airport / hotel / bang/bang/bang. First Armani, last Prada, and D+G smokin at the ranch in between. Here's a look below:
