Elie Saab and Hermés

When I was in Paris, I went to the last day of Paris Fashion Week! It was so much fun! I went to 2 shows: Elie Saab and Hermés.
The whole fashion week spirit is amazing, everybody are so well dressed, there are all those bloggers and style scouts running around taking pictures and you see the same crew at all the shows. I had a really cute vintage dress on but I got no pictures... maybe you can find it on a street style blog!









The Elie Saab show was beautiful! The dresses are so much more prettier in action than on the photos. The materials are just floating with the body who wears it. The colours were inspired by the desert from the blue sky to the sparkly sand in the night. The music was house music and the runway was very simple: black sparkly "sand". On the front row Dita von Teese and Nelly Furtado watched the show and the back row I did! The only bad thing I can tell about the show is that is was really inspired by Balmain, but well, you can´t win them all. If I went to the Oscars I would wear one of Elie Saabs dresses!






The Hermés show was really, really well produced! There was grass everywhere and you could really smell it! So nice! The music was a mix of new hits and the comments and sounds from a tennis match. 2 of the models started playing tennis in the background and followed Jean Paul Gaultier when he got his applaud after the show. The collection was really good! The colours where very light with a bit of dark blue, black and brown. It was very inspired of tennis and the fabrics where a mix of light silk, cotton and soft lether. I really liked the bags they were really big, so some of the models dropped them on the runway.
