A few designers flipped the French government the bird during Paris Fashion Week: In the midst of a heated ongoing debate in the country regarding banning burkas, designers Marithé and François Girbaud and Jean Charles de Castelbajac incorporated interpretations of burkas into their shows.

Amy Winehouse is set to design for Fred Perry. Apparently she’s always been a huge fan, but…seriously Amy Winehouse is designing a collection for Fred Perry? Anyway, it hits stores in October. [Vogue UK]
Chanel had a 265-tonne man-made glacier shipped from Sweden, but you can’t import water into France, so they had to ship it back after the show. [The Cut] Read more »

We love Hanneli‘s outfit here–it’s light and pretty and perfect for early spring. But why we chose this photo is that it illustrates a trend we’ve been seeing on the streets of Paris that we’re not too sure about–pants so big and long that they cover your feet. On one hand we understand that super wide-legged pants can look awkward, especially in heels, but is the answer to deny you have feet at all? What say you?

While the rest of Paris was doing sportswear, Marc Jacobs was doing full-on lady at Louis Vuitton. A nipped-in New Look silhouette adorned a curvier-than-usual group of catwalkers (Laetitia Casta, Lara Stone, Elle Macpherson, Adriana Lima et al.)–fitted boucle coats, floral, checked or tweedy circle skirts, smooth leathers, bustier tops and oversized cable knits over poufy ball skirts.

We love the pretty mix of greys in this Lovely’s ensemble and the way she can make a fur coat and full length skirt seem as easy as a pair of jeans.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Fall 2010. Photos via WWD
The last looks Alexander McQueen created before his suicide last month were presented in Paris yesterday. The 16 pieces were “cut on the stand” by McQueen, though the finishing touches were completed by the designer’s team after his death. Gucci Group president and CEO, Robert Polet, told WWD:
“It was a very moving experience to take a deep and serious look at his last collection. It showed Lee’s unique talent to create pieces of beauty that touch many of your senses, leaving one enriched,” Polet said later, after composing himself. Then he added, “Although the sense of loss afterwards, I found overwhelming.”
