Dries Van Noten Ready to Wear – Spring 2009
Dries got a lot of kudos in Paris. It’s was quite beautiful and wearable. The jewelery is super chunky in spring 2009 and I love Dries’s take on it. images: the Fashion Spot – Dries Van Noten S/S 09 Paris and style.com

Akira Isogawa Ready to Wear – Spring 2009
Lovely collection from Akira Isogawa. I’m totally obsessed with the Japanese this season, Undercover, Yojhi, It’s the obi belts; almost every designer that has used them has gotten me by the heartstrings.

Louis Vuitton Ready to Wear – Spring 2009
Louis Vuitton was quite stellar this year. Marc ported the obi belts and the colour palette from his Marc Jacobs collection to LV and they look fantastic. This collection reminds me a lot of YSL’s Africa collection (which I saw parts of in Montreal). I’m sure this was intentional and perhaps a nod to the dearly missed designer. Frillr has the Runway Video for Louis Vuitton up. I downloaded it and watched it on my Nano one morning going to work. You have to see it, just amazing.

It gives you the ability to see the clothing up close and meet the designers. This season it was hosted by Adrian Mainella of Fashion File instead of the free for all type atmosphere that was present in previous ventures. A clothing designer was paired up with a jewelry designer to showcase the work. There was a little Q&A session with each designer pair conducted by Adrian. First to show was partners in crime, Greta Constantine and Dandi Maestre. I’m a big fan of the designers work. They really complemented each other in the presentation, which was different from the runway show where I thought Danni’s accessories overpowered the clothing. Get rid of the handbags and what do you know, balance is once again restored. I had a bit of bias at the show too because I was lucky enough to get a preview of the Greta collection …

Ann Demeulemeester Ready to Wear – Spring 2009
I have a few favourite collections from Paris so far: Balenciaga, Rick Owens and Undercover. Ann Demeulemeester is now a the top of this list because of the sheer volume of looks I liked. Everything she did was pretty much perfection. See the rest of this collection at the Fashion Spot – Ann Demeulemeester S/S 09 Paris images: same source
Yohji Yamamoto Ready to Wear – Spring 2009
Loving the Japanese in Paris, they are the goto guys when you need something cool in black and white. Like I said before, Yohji knows the pant. See the rest of the collection at the Fashion Spot – Yohji Yamamoto S/S 09 Paris Images: same source
