Fashion Show: Paris Collections 2006

This exhibit is a fun way to pass a few hours on a Saturday – portions of the fall/winter collections of 10 different designers (Azzedine Alaia, Hussein Chalayan, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Maison Martin Margiela, Olivier Theyskens for Rochas, Valentino, Viktor & Rolf, and Yohji Yamamoto). My friend and I laughed at some of the outrageousness (a vest made of playing cards, a hat bigger than the seat of my car and less functional) and sighed at the beauty.

We each selected 1 piece from each collection that we would have as well as our favorite item overall. Mine was the Chanel black dress. I am still annoyed that we were not allowed to try on any of the shoes!
