District L has had a ridiculous weekend of work and play, and as we recover we thought we'd catch you up on what's been going down in the City of Lights this weekend. Of course you can also expect to read our thoughts on today's shows, most notably Karl Lagerfeld, Hussein Chalayan, Christian Lacroix, and Givenchy.
But without further ado here is a brief recap of the runway this weekend-
Comme des Garcons gave us a very tulle, very layered, very conceptual runway yesterday. "Wonderland," Designer ReiKawakubo called it afterward, "where nothing is as it seems."
Haider Ackermann won plaudits and praise for his signature leather jackets paired with sinfully fluid silk dresses. "She's coming from nowhere and brings her treasures with her...she's not androgynous, but there's that side to her and she's trying to bring it out," said Ackermann of his collection.
Coco Rocha caused a stir at Jean Paul Gaultier after getting into a catfight with another model towards the end of the show that took a whip wielding dominatrix to break up. In a show featuring S&M style bodices, leather cutouts, fishnet masks, and menswear inspired three-piece suits, who would expect anything less?
Jeremy Scott took mundane to mode with a poppy, funky amusement park motif featuring candy colored buttons and Mickey Mouse-esque gloves made into boa shawls.
