Blending the equestrian heritage of Hermès with a hint of seventies hot spot for the stars, Mexico meets Miami and a touch of colonial chic, Gaultier delivers luxury with fringe benefits. The fringed Birkin will surely be on the hot list for those who have money a plenty and how we will all salivate when they do.
Hermès has good business and social credentials from the top to the bottom. Nowhere is this more apparent than the runway. Where most designers fail to select a black model or use just one, Gaultier used five for his show and sent Ms.Campbell down three times in all her splendour.
But the best was saved to last - on stage the epitome of fun and wit Monsieur Gaultier

Aah, fantastic collections and great inspiration too! Oh, a fringed Birkin, oh yes please indeed!
ReplyDeleteSharon Rose - I know what's not to like, imaging birkin + fringe = yah!
ReplyDeleteThis speaks to me. I HATE seeing 14year old stick figures wearing 1500 euro frocks and expecting me to want to emulate them.
ReplyDeleteI also love your blog and I am looking forward to seeing how you cope with being studentified and still style oriented. And you have purty pictures to look at too.
So visit mine and collect the
"you are a beautiful blogger" award, and the I Heart one too if you like.

(and ps. are those your uggs on that shoe rack sista?)
Hammie - yep spotted, my uggs. I throw them on for any eventuality. They are my third pair over seven years! My aussie friend's mum wouldn't let her have them as a child as she thought they were too common! And they only wear them as slippers in the house in Darwin.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments, I like your blog too found you via your comments on others!
My favorite thing about the models was that they had flesh on their bones.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the fringed Birkin!
Weren't the models adorable, okay they were slim but so gorgeous and female.
ReplyDeleteI am excited about fringed birken too! I really like the red halter dress wit the hat. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI was so shocked to see cowboy hats at Hermes, just so random.
ReplyDeleteYiquin - yes the fringed birkin is genius!
ReplyDeleteCoco - I think the collection is so random given evey one elses shows but in a completly hits the spot way
Indeed this is a great collection, I'm in love with the second look.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fringed birkin....
That quiz is really so funny :)
Have a great working week

Kate you're so right it was all about real women with money. From the ankles up it was one the best collections from Paris.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been commenting (I have a feeling that I'm writing this a lot over the next couple of days) and thanks for your support. Now that the collections are down and dusted I will be back to my normal self.
Gaultier is an absolute genius, no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteeverything look so yummy!
ReplyDeletewow!!! fantastic colection!
ReplyDeleteOh, look, grown ups on the catwalk. Whatever next? Hee!
ReplyDeleteI love that stripey colourful dress. Sooo divinely swishy!
That multicolored dress! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe oldies are definitely goodies - this collection is really nice, and I liked Vivienne Westwood's show too - really clean, masterful draping, no need for anything of shock value.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of in love with the second look!
ReplyDeleteLove this show! I could be a cowgirl!
