The middle dress is very interesting. It screams "parrots!!!"
I love these two dresses. The yellow one is more RTW. The white dress just looks cool.

I liked the Paris Fasion Week's show just as much as I liked the New York's show. I didn't really see anything that popped out so conspicuously, but there were few dresses that caught my attention.
I noticed that the Paris's fashion show displayed a little more tailored pieces as well as layers, mix and match, attitude, and less free-flowing fabrics. The designer's clothes had a more "stiff" feeling to me. For example, the white dress by Givenchy did not have much movement, but it had texture and layers. I think the designer might have gotten the inspiration by roses because to me it looks like white rose petals.
The one dress that stood out for me was the dress that looked like a parrot. The design was by Alexander McQueen. I think it is apparent where the inspiration came from because one look at it you can see an immediate resemblance to parrots. I didn't particularly like it but it's an eye-catcher. It worked for the show.
The yellow dress was by my favorite designer, Valentino. I love the color yellow, and I think the design fits appropriately with the way the dress is structured. It looks very elegant. As mentioned earlier, I think the design reminds viewers of flower petals. The majority of the dresses seemed to be resembling nature, which in this case are rose petals. The colors most used were reds, greys, white, black, pastels and nude.
My other favorite was a beautiful red dress by Rynshu for Masatomo. I just want to know how the dress holds up like that. It has a life of its own, and the design itself is really impressive. I hope to create something like that one day.
For the most part the collection projected a strong, clear, sexy attitude. That certainly suggests an attempt to answer the needs of the market.
