One of the biggest trends of this Paris runway season has nothing to do with the clothes. Veteran and novelty models have appeared at many shows: Yasmin Le Bon and Angela Lindvall at John Galliano, Amber Valletta, Stella Tennant and Gisele Bündchen at Balenciaga, Anna Dello Russo at Ungaro.

I could be blamed, too, for living on macaroons & menthol lights in between vegetable-free meals. In a word, I feel ick. And if it were any other day, I’d have stayed under the covers and ordered in curry.

But today was Chanel day, and maybe I’m sick in more ways than one, but I genuinely felt I didn’t have a choice. Had to gloss over my head cold, put on major heels and a little gilt, and cab out to Le Grand Palais by 10:30 in the morning. Worth it? Beyond. Read more »
