Long due, the pictures of the beautiful Boris Bidjan Saberi show, styled by family member Jason Farrer!

I was happy to attend at my first Comme des Garçons show. The legend is not exaggerated!

If you thought that was your boy, Sean Paul, think again. The beauty of Adam Kimmel’s Spring Summer 2011 presentation can be largely accredited to casting efforts that swept the streets of Paris for the Adam’s Snoop Dogg tribute. I could swear I spooked OGs, Earsnot and ARon, up in the remix. Can’t wait to crate this up for Estevan for some California Love.

Late Thursday night we enjoyed rendez-vous with our favorite Italian import, Riccardo Tisci; our favorite supermodel, Lea T; and our favorite New York artist, Gloria Maximo. After a curbside lesson in tucking for a couture fitting from the illustrious Givenchy campaign star Rich and I decided we better visit the showroom for some pre couture excitement and a closer look at the menswear collection . Rich enjoyed some white power as he smoked American Marlboro lights and chose some favorite pieces while Colette Guillonneau, laughing at the supremacy sarcasm, pronounced the key pieces “Very Sang Bleu”. We’ll happily exchange “cattails” with the covertly sexy Colette any day.

Riccardo offered the attendees a grandiose show like only him knows how. Mysterious music between gregorian chants and victorian chamber music remixed by Philip Glass. His unusually heteroclit collection’s highlights were the use of a leopard pattern mixed with formal outfits, a skirt/short hybrid and a couple of masks between the ones of south american wrestlers and classic army gas asks. We were also pleased to see Lea T and Mariacarla walk, in the middle of all the muscular models.

My first DvN show. Obviously, I have a soft spot for the Skinhead reference, but more than that, this was the most convincing use of this peculiar style by a fashion designer! Also, congratulations for the most relevant use of tattooed boys I’ve seen so far. Dries, I love you. (Show took place on the 1st day, so same excuse as for Rick Owens, for the blurry pics… sorry).

On the day after the show, I took a little trip with JayJay and his husband Rich to the YSL showroom where we met up with the benevolent Guilhem, browsed through the beautiful collection and drank mimosa.
