Karl Lagerfeld meant it when he said in our video interview that he had a new proportion for Chanel RTW. The attitude and the mood of that proportion is "we are longer and leaner than anyone else."We suppose that is why the models looked so tiny against the giant 2.55 purses. And as he said it was not overcharged with details. And while Karl, ever the marketing genius, had a few new "it" items like the little beret and the two colored stocking, the collection itself was not overcharged. The message was loud, clear, and slim.

Elie Saab is feeling "new" this season with an exploration of new volume and fabrics.

Color was his key takeaway with greens, blues, and reds holding the attention. And it being fall that naturally lent itself to dramatic emotions all around.

The long weary road has come to an end. The fashion flock has flown from New York to London, London to Milan, and finally to Paris. And the weary birds have now finished their migration. We have Fashion Week photo snap shots from Balenciaga, Balmain, John Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Hermes, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Giambattista Valli. And don't forget our videos of Christian Dior and Christian Lacroix.
