BALMAIN
Balmain a/w 2011 fashion show.
Paris, 3. March 2011
The Balmain show was held at Grand Hôtel on Wednesday 3. March at 15:00. Outside was a big crowd of photographers and fashionistas checking out who were going to the show and what they were wearing. Balmain obviously attracts a crowd of stylish people and the photographers kept busy taking pictures of people around the hotel in between getting the important shot of Kanye West and other known guests arriving to the show.
Afterwards we were able to get pictures of most of the biggest fashion editors except Anna Wintour who used a back entrance to avoid the crowd. The models were quick to go after the show and among others we saw the successful Danish model Freja Beha leave the venue even more beautiful than she looks on pictures. The talk after the show was that Balmain´s creative director, Christophe Decarnin failed to show up due to doctor's orders to rest after being treated for an unconfirmed illness. All the way from the Grand Hôtel to the nearest metro was a sea of photographers snatching some inspiring street style pictures of people that either attended the show, or like us only got to stand outside and dream of what was happening inside the glamorous Grand Hôtel which quite frankly was a show in itself.

RICK OWENS
Rick Owens a/w 2011 fashion show.
Paris, 3. March 2011
The Rick Owens show took place on Wednesday afternoon in Palais de Tokyo. It was scheduled to start at 17:00 but at that point the models were still running around outside with bleaching product on their eyebrows and paper in the hair to keep the do in place. The beautiful Chinese model, Ming Xi, was interesting to see with her big eyes looking even bigger without the eyebrows showing. There was notion that a few people without invitation could get in so we waited patiently in line in hope of seeing the show and in the meantime watched people enter with their invitations. The most memorable guest is without doubt Anna Dello Russo in her bronze suit looking good as ever although there was no fruit hat on her head this time.
After all the waiting to get in it was announced that there was no room left inside and almost at the same moment the music started inside. We used the break to take some pictures of interesting people and sit down for only a minute as it seemed but when I passed a smiling Kate Lanphear, style director of US Elle, on the way to the restroom it was obvious how quickly a fashion show is over. On the way out of Palais de Tokyo the photographers were running after people asking to take their pictures or foregoing asking and just clicking away as we tiptoed in our high heels feeling like true fashionistas running through the clowd of papparazzis!
