RED / White / and...

Day one: Yigal Azrouel, Jason Wu, Rag+Bone. Three beautiful collections - but wait, who was that platinum blonde girl? Never seen her before... wait - is that... Iekeleine?? Yup, Ikeleine Stange, always a bright spot to our eyes backstage is now platinum!

And she's not the only one making changes. Not blonde, but Coco Rocha and Vlada Roslyakova have gone red! You may have seen Coco, but have the first look from today below. [Vlada's pic was sent over by JD Fergueson]

WELCOME / to the dollhouse

Christian Lacroix loves playing dress up with his models. The clothes are so fabulous, so extraordinary, that every girl feels like a princess - or quite literally their own doll. Even backstage, each girl gets her own little stand up dress-box [a doll house if you will].  Inside, the clothes wait on their racks, eager for the teams of dressers to get them ready for the runway - complete with shoes / accessories / hair details / the works. Here's a peek thru the window:

If you're flying through Deutschland in the next few days, check out the Runway report from German Amica. I have the cover [Dolce+Gabanna Spring 09], along w/ a few other pages inside. Enjoy!

GAULTIER/

Few people do it like Jean Paul Gaultier! For the love and art of Fashion Fantastic, JPG is unique in his construction, his creativity, and his way of making the ultra-complicated extremely fun. Here's a few more from his Couture show last week.

FOR your eyes / only

Just thinking you all deserve a little eye candy. Here are two from Dior - hair and makeup from Orlando Pita and Pat McGrath. Enjoy!
