London Fashion Week A/W ‘08
Well it is finally here…again!!!!
It’s time to ANGLOMANIA your heart out.
London Fashion Week A/W ‘08 is here and it is expected to be just as exciting as last season with shows from Vivienne Westwood, newcomer Inbar Spector, tailor master — Edward Sexton, the crowded IN and OUT crowd at the Super Super Show (which I seem to like more than the show itself…haha), and many more.
Resident iPapier photographer Anne-Marie Mitchell will be supplying all the visuals, while our newest contributor, fashion stylist Aradia Crockett will approve and disapprove through her reviews.
To immerse yourself in all that is LFW go to Papierdoll, and to really catch behind the scene action read the frequent musings from our writer Aradia and photographer Anne-Marie right here on iPapier.
Cheers!!!!

Alexandre Herchcovitch in Sao Paulo via Hint
Hintmag.com has this great video from Alexandre Herchcovitch’s show in Sao Paulo during their fashion week. This is the first time I truly pined for three quarters of his collection. The men’s collection wasn’t half bad either.

Valentino Comes Back out of Retirement!
No, not really. But we’re hoping this headline somehow makes it to the wires sometime this year. Some people need to retire. Michael Jordan needed to retire. Dr. Phil needs retirement. No one shed a tear when Kathie Lee retired. But after seeing photos from Valentino’s Couture show, we’ve come to one certain conclusion: this man needs to design until he dies while sketching his next design in 2023.
The romantic in me sees this. Take a look at the photos:
Chanel, Dior…oh my
It must be great to have millions of dollars to hold a fashion show. Cathy Horyn of the New York Times examines the looks coming out of the haute couture shows in Paris. When one has a million dollars, one can hold a spectacle. Who holds better spectacles than Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel’s haute couture shows. This is a man who had a runway show on a real airport runway in Los Angeles. Doing things small is anathema to Lagerfeld. So when you look at a 75 foot model of an iconic Chanel jacket and it functions as the backdrop for his show. Yes, a backdrop folks. You come to understand what this is all about. Other favorites include the silk organza at the Dior show seen below
Somehow I think this predicts well for the Fall 2008 collections. We’ll have coverage in Paris for the shows.
Ruminating Backstage
With London fashion week not too far away, I had to pull out one of my favorite photos from Fall 2007’s images on iPapier. There’s nothing terribly special about it, but it sets the tone. The hustle and bustle of workers in the background putting things up and taking things down, models looking half-beautiful as they take direction from people wearing all manner of headphones right before they go to makeup and the giftbags waiting for people to pick them up. Still going through all the photos from last season Anne-Marie…you’re a photographic genius.
