stella mccartney autumn/winter 2011

One of my fave designers, Stella McCartney, put on a beautiful show for her autumn/winter 2011 collection at Paris Fashion Week. All her four children were backstage with her, and model Natalia Vodianova arrived to see the show with her three children.

Natalia was wearing a Stella McCartney top with a Balenciaga mini.

Here are some of our favourite looks from Stella's show... highlights include 'polka dot' dresses in black and in white, oversized coats with minimalist detailing, slouchy jerseys, tailored pants, jumpsuits and balloon sleeve dresses.

Oh, and below is why Natalia looks so good. Running in the Paris half marathon, and then walking for Givenchy. Sigh...

i could've had it all

Whether they chose the song on purpose or not, the words were pretty poignant. The models for the John Galliano's Dior show at Paris Fashion Week walked to Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' during what was referred to as a 'low-key' showing last week.

The show must go on and it was definitely the one everyone had their eyes on after John Galliano made such an idiot of himself last week. It received reactions which ranged from 'brilliant' to 'surreal'. This collection included a mix of romantic dresses, a black vinyl trench and a draped mint coloured kimono. The bias cut gowns and oversized outerwear was described as pure 'old school Galliano'.

The truth is, it's a gorgeous collection. Even though we only got to see less than half of what was originally planned.
