Paris, 04/03/11. Lanvin

There are not many who can do Parisian chic like Alber Elbaz. For Fall, he gave us precise prim capes, heavy hardwear jewellery, flat brogues and wide-brimmed Amish hats. As the shoes got higher so did the sex appeal. For evening, Elbaz presented vampish dresses in heavy lace, an abundance of his signature ruffles and vibrant coloured silk cocktail dresses. Oh yeah, did I mention there was an actual full-size willow tree at the end of the runway. Amazing.
