Lady Gaga is no stranger to wearing designer wears, and it looks as though she couldn’t even wait a week to try on some of Hedi Slimane’s debut creations for Saint Laurent Paris.

The designer showed his much talked about Spring 2013 collection last Monday during Paris Fashion Week, and although it’s received much flak in the industry, Lady Gaga seems to be on Team Hedi, as the first to have worn pieces from his collection literally straight off the runway.

For all you Kristen Stewart fans who are just dying to know the juicy details about her recent foray into the world of fashion and fragrance, here’s how you can get your answers!

Over the weekend it was announced that Kristen Stewart will be answering questions live on October 18 from the Balenciaga fragrance website. Granted, the usually private star will probably avoid any Robert Pattinson queries—but knowing how crafty K.Stew fans can be, we’re sure at least one of you will compose a fragrance-related question that will include a way to confirm the rumours that they’re back together.

See the final batch of street style photos from fashion month!

And that’s a wrap! Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013 has come to a close. Please excuse us while we sob into our keyboards. Stefania Yarhi, our street style photographer, worked her magic outside of the shows and finished off fashion month by photographing a surprising set of street stylers, but it’s an exciting batch of photos nonetheless.

Fashion month ended with shows from Louis Vuitton, Ellie Saab, and Miu Miu. A collection from Miuccia Prada is pretty alluring, so alluring that young Hollywood starlets hopped on a plane and left Los Angeles just to sit in the front row. Sassy Glee star, Dianna Agron kicked it old school with mod spider lashes and a clean pulled back pony and Emma Stone showed up with an extremely bold lip she accessorized with a man carrying an umbrella for her. Is it wrong to say we liked this umbrella-holder’s “OMG” hoodie a lot?

Chloë Sevigny was also in attendance, which makes a lot of sense considering she’s been the face of Miu Miu a couple times, and she was looking like the young starlets super cool older sister in a mixed print short suit.

Front row seating at the Spring 2013 Fashion Week collections has been an exciting who’s-who jumble of predictable favourites and amazing surprises this year.

Miu Miu’s Spring 2013 collection was presented today in Paris, with Glee’s Dianna Agron front and centre of the It girl mélage that came to check out Miuccia’s latest creations. Looking quite mod, she wore a ‘60s look of a turquoise dress, blue heels and purple tights, all by Miu Miu. Dianna Agron was seen with actress Amanda Seyfried who was wearing a Prada suit, Emma Stone and Felicity Jones both in Miu Miu and fashion week fixture and designer herself Chloë Sevigny. The girls looked like they were about star in the brand’s latest campaign, although Sevigny can already boast about that.

If who comes to your party is an indication of your popularity, then Carine Roitfeld is the most popular girl in Paris. The list of attendees at last night’s European launch of her special M.A.C Cosmetics collection (which ironically leaves Canadian shelves tomorrow) runs the gamut of fashion’s biggest and best.

Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino Garavani, Azzedine Alaia, Nicolas Ghesquière, Riccardo Tisci, Mario Testino, Giambattista Valli, Haider Ackermann, Anna Dello Russo, Kanye West, Natalia Vodianova, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and many, many more turned up last night to toast the former Vogue Paris chief, editor of her own magazine and world’s most stylish grandma.

As Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013 starts winding down thus marking the end of fashion month, we’re feeling a little glum about the fact that we’ll no longer have a daily dose of Anna Dello Russo, Giovanna Battaglia, Emmanuelle Alt and the international like. Siiiigh.

But leave it to Stefania Yarhi, our street style photographer, to find a way to perk us right up. That is, she spotted the cream of the fashion crop, which will satisfy our preemptive fashion slump.

If you value your footwear (and your toes, for that matter) do not stand anywhere near Jennifer Lopez.

I learned this today as I was making my way to my seat at the Valentino show in a tent in the Tuileries. I have witnessed paparazzi frenzies many times in my career but there is a particularly panic that sets in when J.Lo is in the ‘hood. The freelance photographers can sniff a guaranteed money shot. The staff photographers know they will face the wrath of their editors if they come back empty handed.

Either way, they are all in battle mode.

This is an Important Trend Bulletin from Paris. Spring 2013 will be known as the season of the tux. Variations on Le Smoking opened Lanvin, Dior and Givenchy—a major signifier since eveningwear is usually reserved for last part of a show. And you can pretty much bet we’ll be seeing tuxedoes tonight when Hedi Slimane unveils his first collection for the now-renamed Saint Laurent Paris.

We all know that fashion week is the breeding ground for creating trends, but when a trend becomes so obvious that it stops you in your tracks, you know its going to be important come next season. Need proof? Have a look back at yesterday’s shows from the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013, specifically Balenciaga’s […]

Check out today’s photos from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013

Today’s set of street style photos from Paris is equivalent to the fashion (and Twihard) jackpot. With major shows like Carven, Balenciaga, and Balmain going down, you know a fashionable crowd is going to show up and thankfully, our street style photographer Stefania Yarhi, was there to capture it all and do a little bit of stalking.

Stalking who? Oh you know, just Kristen Stewart, the most most buzzed about actress du jour (du year?). As the face of Balenciaga’s Florabotanica fragrance, it’s only natural that she sat front row in a yellow quilted leather jacket and floral printed pants accessorized with a petite smile (we repeat: petite).

View the Anna Dello Russo for H&M party photos »

Most 51-year-olds would not attempt a minidress with side cut-outs, or at least they shouldn’t. But then most 51-year-olds are not Anna Dello Russo, fashion director at large for Vogue Nippon come street style megastar.

Fashion’s best-known dress-up enthusiast arrived at the Paradis Latin nightclub for the party celebrating her upcoming collaborative accessory collection with H&M, which launches on October 4, in fitting style: descending from the ceiling on a throne of giant fake pink roses, Marilyn Monroe style. Her aqua minidress radiated crystal and gold sunbursts, while golden alligators, which were affixed to her ADR for H&M sunglasses, spanned her brows. One of the best performers in the biz, Anna Dello Russo treated the crowd to a performance alongside fellow European editor and style star Giovanna Battaglia, who had accessorized to the nines in Anna Dello Russo’s H&M collection and even a butterfly-adorned golden headpiece.

There is a whole generation that has never worn a suit. That is about to change. You know that when labels as influential and cool as Balenciaga and Carven pack their collections with suits, a major shift is in store. It happened today at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013. Nicholas Ghesquiere’s suits for Balenciaga were […]
