Fashion house Celine says 2009 year of transition (Reuters)

PARIS (Reuters) –
French fashion house Celine, owned by luxury goods group LVMH, has been holding off opening new stores this year and hopes collections from creative director Phoebe Philo will underpin sales from 2010.



Philo, named creative director last year, had her catwalk debut in Paris on Monday. She presented short, A-line dresses paired with wedges. The palette was paired down to white, black and earth tones.

The Incredible Lightness of Karl Lagerfeld (Fashion Wire Daily)

Paris –
Ever the well-informed futurist, Karl Lagerfeld sent out one of the lightest collections seen anywhere this season in his signature label show in Paris Sunday, Oct. 4, a series of looks all made in super wispy fabrics.




"It's all about the new technical fabrics, so lightweight, so new," explained Karl Lagerfeld, himself sporting a shiny, high-tech anthracite-hued jacket by Calvin Klein's men's designer Italo Zucchelli.

Yves Saint Laurent's Intellectual Moment (Fashion Wire Daily) - j to s - People

Paris –
Brainy is one good way to describe the fashion created by Stefano Pilati, whose latest collection for Yves Saint Laurent on Monday, Oct. 5, in Paris was an experimental exercise that managed to create fashion of great wit, and probably real influence.




Pilati possibly took more risks with this spring 2010 collection than any he has done before for YSL, pumping out sleeves in great white thermo bonded mess jackets, using rosettes as the bodices

Crisis lesson for Paris fashion: sex sells (Reuters)

PARIS (Reuters Life!) –

Valentino's Subtle Revolution (Fashion Wire Daily)

Paris –
Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli ushered in a new era for the Roman house Tuesday, Oct. 6, in Paris with their first ready-to-wear hit collection. Theirs is a surreal and mysterious Valentino, not a bad metaphor for these uncertain times where fashion really needs emotion to stimulate desire and consumer demand.




Despite being decade-long staffers at Valentino, they are intent in radically remodeling the

YSL turns to the dark side

Modern austerity was fused with just a hint of dark subversion over at Yves Saint Laurent at Paris Fashion Week last night, as creative director Stefano Pilati underlay a demure and innocent sentiment with a sexual sub-current.


The tailoring mastery for which YSL is so well known was still in evidence, as scalloped jackets, large-lapelled shirt dresses, bolero jackets and a raft of pinpoint perfect pencil skirts took to the Parisian stage, but it was the undercurrent of rebellion which most
