![]() | Louis Vuitton at Paris Fashion Week |
Paris chic… or Paris cheek as Marc Jacobs reveals his latest collection for Louis Vuitton at Paris Fashion Week There was no escaping it. These were the shortest skirts ever seen on the catwalks of Paris, fashion capital of the world. The next step would be to wear no skirt at all; which was almost what some of the models seemed to be wearing in the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2009 collection, designed by the star of American fashion, Marc Jacobs, on the final day of Paris Fashion Week, today. “There’s next-to-nothing, there’s almost-nothing, then there’s less-than-nothing,” was how Jacobs described his tiny scraps of fabric masquerading as skirts, many of which featured a see-through panel at the rear. “It’s all about my love affair with Paris,” he said of this wham-bam of a show which embraced the style of the city’s emblematic icons, from Edith Piaf and Josephine Baker to the showgirls of Pigalle, the “belles du jour” and the bourgeoisie. It received rapturous applause from a 1,000-strong audience, who might have been expected to be jaded by a relentless four weeks of ogling the catwalks, after the New York, London and Milan fashion weeks. |
