First I should say I've been really impressed at the kindness abound among PR people and doorman/bodyguards at the shows. Yes fellows, they were actually NICE. I say this from a New York perspective where PR people is so stressed out is hard to meet them in a nice day... it's hard indeed. And no comment on body guards and doormen... nice is far from their vocabulary.But in Paris they're sweet, and respectful, and they talk to you and explain to you that you can't enter in a show with no invitation... in NY they just push you away and don't even say good-by.
Now let's start with my fashion experiences...
Paris' stores are really something... unfortunately i couldn't enter at Colette because the day I chose to visit it it was closed.
Maria Luisa's windows were displaying the work of Belgian accessories designer Natalia Brilli.
Natalia Brilli started her own brand in 2005 after three years at the service as head accessories designer together with Olivier Theyskens at Rochas.
Her work is pure rock & roll, where black, leather and references to Gothic are very usual. Her work reminds me that of Lidia Ligias, another favourite of mine.
"The showpiece is a rock band from beyond the grave: three skeletons, a drum set, guitar, amp, and mic, all encased in black leather. They are scheduled to perform silently during Paris Fashion Week in the window at Maria Luisa, and will be touring to a number of international locations troughout the year." - Leanne Rae Wierzba
