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.

Paris Couture / Spring 2010: This season was really something special. You've surely seen the collections by now but here's a peak from the secret side of the runway:

PLAYtime/

Busy day - but not busy enough to miss a little play time with the Gareth Pugh model-morphosis for The New York Times T moment...

PIECE of the Pie/

Viktor+Rolf showed their opinon on the world's economic situation today by cutting-out and slicing-up their own collection. What can't you live without??  Fortunately, what seemed like would be a somber collection, quickly showed new life. A true comment on our economic outlook - and hopefully this season's retail life!

THE WARRIORS / by Christophe Decarnin for Balmain

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.
