Lily worked the classic Chanel  look for the label’s Autumn 2009 ready-to-wear show in Paris this past week. Young woman looks adorable as usual and I love her eyes (check ‘em out in the far right image), the makeup is minimal but effective. ‘Cause when a female has personality for days like Lily does, it’s better to keep the glop to a minimum lest you cover up all her inner shine.

Hussein Chalayan’s Autumn/Winter ‘09 was one of my favorites so far . Not just because I’m obsessed with thigh high boots , but  mostly because Chalayan found a way to reinvent himself and give his followers an element of surprise  by allowing sexy to be a term that can now be associated with his collection. There was alot of color, sharp  construction and of course great sleek shoes.

Kanye was looking quite dapper at YSL, but it appears there was no Amber on his arm! Hopefully this change-in-partner status is temporary because we are so not ready for this female to drop out of the limelight. I mean, cheez, we haven’t even hit the whispered rumors of her seeing-Jay-Z-on-the-low phase yet (tho not for nothing, Yeez, watch yer back cuz you know they’re ALL gonna be coming for her)! Don’t deprive us, Ye!

Meanwhile, the knives are already out at Style:

The cropped-super-short platinum blonde is a puzzle to some–partly because she doesn’t quite share the unerring panache that has made the Louis Vuitton don an industry obsession. While statement-making, her ensembles, e.g., the strange pairing of Current/Elliot denim track shorts with a sports bra and wire-rimmed glasses she was snapped in recently–don’t quite spark sartorial shivers.

Damn!! How frosty was that?? And on that note….

Dear Kanye: If you allow Amber to be turned into a 24/7, honey-colored, buzz blonde version of Posh, I could possible never forgive you.

Late-Breaking Update: According to Jen of BaltimoreRichGirls fame (love that name!), Amber was indeed at the YSL show. In a FashionBombDaily interview with Kanye before the show, you can see her standing next to him.

The Undercover show, according to Style, took place on a Mylar blanket runway in a forrest in a Japan. There were just two models and supposedly it was cold as all get out, done to highlight the high-tech nature of Jun Takahashi’s fabric choices. According to the article:

“Takahashi hybridizes biker jackets, puffers, parkas, regular tailoring, and knits to produce lightweight jackets and coats, which are lined with membranes and microcapsules developed for NASA. Some of them absorb body heat indoors and then release it when the wearer steps out into colder conditions. Others will block biting windchill, even though they’re ostensibly as flimsy as blazers.”

Not a lot of new ever happens in fashion so I get all excited when I hear about someone trying to push fabric technology forward, as it is one of the last frontiers. Of course it helps that all his designs are just as slick as his space-age fabrics!

Erin Wasson and RVCA have teamed up to bring us a beautifully made capsule collection. My absolute favorite piece is a blazer with a lighting bolt print on the back and an exposed zipper. Erin is known for her laid back, eclectic style and her combination of east coast cool and beachy west coast vibe blend seamlessly. OAK now carries the line on their  web store.

More after the jump.

Alexander Mcqueen’s skull print scarves in vibrant colored silk are the perfect accessory for spring. Bright blue and hot pink combined create an explosive color combo but if you’re more into subtle fashion choices there is a black and white option as well.  Available at Matches.

A more detailed look after the jump.

Gisele gets tribaled-up for issue No. 101 of fashion mag Numero. I spotted this image on TheLifeFiles, which, not for nothing, I think I finally found my spiritual blog home. It’s like the adopted kid who finally meets his biological/s and experiences a-never-before-felt ease, like, “Oh, you mean my obsession with fashion, boobs, sports and trash gossip doesn’t make me a freak???”

Jeremy Scott’s Autumn/Winter 2009 showing in Paris was cheery, fun, and very much Disney-inspired. You guys who read a lot know I don’t do cutsie so this was not for me.  Anyone out there inspired? I featured an image from the men’s collection front page ’cause if anything, the Adidas Mickey kicks are sort of neat-o and I like the shorts-over-leggings look.
