• Lanvin’s fabrics were intricately tiered and sculpted.
• John Galliano exuded brilliance with gypsy pants and sheer floral dresses.
• Elie Saab knows how to work a stripe.
• Marc Jacobs’s collection for Louis Vuitton was reminiscent of his own shown at New York Fashion Week. And we agree with the critics: Those wide-thighed pants don’t even look good on the models.
• Miu Miu put each model’s initials on her outfit, which looked like futuristic gymwear.
• Hermès spiced up plain black and earth-tone pieces with paisley and fringe.
• Chado Ralph Rucci used sprightly feathers and did interesting things with seams.
• Chloé showed bare legs and little chiffon dresses that seemed an usual choice for fall.
• Nina Ricci showed mostly pantsuits in amber hues.
• Kenzo showed busy prints and sweaterdresses with stunning construction.
• Paul & Joe sent bare-legged models down the runway in dresses with fawnlike animal prints.
• The big, furry cone hats at Vanessa Bruno distracted from her nice but simple collection of flowy pants and pretty dresses.
