Hermes India inspired fashion

Luxury brands are setting up shop in India, Vogue is launching an Indian edition of its magazine, and the fashion week in India was remarkable for its absence of traditional Indian clothes. Even though many wondered if the sari was dead as a preferred outfit, it is interesting that Jean-Paul Gaultier has now created a whole collection for Hermes inspired by the maharajahs (kings) of India. Not bad for one of the poorest countries in the world.

Paris fashion week

It can be overwhelming to following all the fashion weeks but it is nice to follow what is going on Paris. I have to say that Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel did a remarkable job - dresses that are fit for those "power" girl moments. If you are looking for glamorous, red-carpet-ready dresses, pick John Galliano for Christian Dior. Valentino was at his best with yet another set of beautiful clothes. I found designs by Christian LaCroix and Jean-Paul Gaultier fit for a Halloween party (I am not kidding).
