Paris Fashion Week was all about romance and sensuality. Designers played with proportions and introduced dresses that were swankly asymmetrical and stylishly playful. Short in the front, long in the back, and graceful all the way through.
Olivier Theyskens of Nina Ricci completely incorporated the style into his show, as did Elie Saab, Kenzo, Blamain, YSl, Emanuel Ungaro and Sonia Rykiel.

Nope, looks like crap!
Real women don’t need to strut around like that.
Is “hot” the standard?
Whatever happened to a sense of modesty?
Perhaps in this context, hot i lie cool
Sorry. My keys skipped. In this context, perhaps hot is like cool.
It all depends on how good the woman’s legs are.
The black dress is ok although I personally wouldn’t buy it, the others are too short in the front. I have a high-low red trumpet skirt that I love, comes down past my knees in the front and to my ankles in the back. I also love handkerchief hems. And I wear them with cowgirl boots ; )
The black one in the bottom row hits below the knee in front and actually looks quite classy and even easy to make. The striped dress makes the model look like a lion fish.
They look very convenient.
Dresses hot - Models NOT!!
They look like little girls, concentration camp inmates or androgynous freaks.
If that's the case, thse styles appear to portend economic confusion. :)
Low hemlines or high hemlines...
Which one would a prostitute choose?
Yuck. Somebody needs to get those girls some cheeseburgers.
I was told when I was a younger lass wearing mini skirts that you could tell how good or bad the economy was by the length of women’s skirts. During the 1920s, the economy was good, and women’s skirt lengths were short. When the economy went south in 1930’s, hemlines went down. During WWII, when the economy was picking up, so did hemlines. And so on and so forth. I wonder what these skirt lengths mean?
The Black dress is the most wearable. The models all need to consume a Hardees Monster Thick Burger and Shake. The rest of the dresses remind me of the can-can-smock horror that Geena Davis wore to the Academy Awards./Just Asking seoul62......
Modesty, responsibility, restitution....WORDS
that are meaningless today. Sad. Very sad.
I will buy each one of those models a double whopper with cheese, large fries and a shake.
I would hit that like the fist of an angry god!
