Young actress Emma Watson was busy flying the British flag at Paris Fashion Week recently by attending more shows than a top fashion editor! She may only be 18 years old but that doesn't stop her wearing some very stylish designer ensembles. Emma is guilty of dressing a bit old sometimes but she was on form in Paris wearing a thigh skimming dress at Sonia Rykiel and plenty of bright colours elsewhere.

John Galliano strongly referenced his childhood home in his Spring line which was presented to Paris on Saturday evening. The collection included 3ft busbys (maybe he wants to redesign the Queen's guard uniform?) and oversized First Sea Lord ceremonial hats in a variety of shocking colours.
There were plenty of clashing neon pastel shades from yellow to hot pink and red.

Yesterday Karl Lagerfeld took to the catwalk with his own brand futuristic collection. This was the best collection I've seen from Lagerfeld in recent memory (for his own brand) as it usually consists of designs he himself might wear.
For Spring 2009 Karl moved away from that and upped the ante creating glamorous red carpet worthy ensembles with key accessories such as metal tattoo like cuffs and giant waist clinching belts.

Paris Fashion Week continued yesterday as enfant de terrible of French fashion, Jean Paul Gaultier presented his surprisingly commercial collection.
Gaultier was inspired by dance for this collection which opened with a performance and was staged as though taking place in a rehearsal studio.
He explained, "To me, clothes on a hanger are simply still lives.
