Paco Rabbane had a very cool cast. If only the actual collection had been at least half as good.
So we still have McQueen tonight and then Miu Miu, LV and Elie Saab tomorrow. Saab should have a solid cast. McQueen will probably be underwhelming as per usual (lately). The other two could offer something unexpected.
This season has been tough for a lot of girls actually, especially in Paris.
Even if some girls booked several A-list shows, I thought some of them would completely break out, which was apparently not the case.
I'm thinking about Stef van der Laan (major disappointment, she barely booked anything in Paris), Elza Luijendijk, Nastya Kusakina, Kate King (she disappeared right after opening Dolce & Gabbana in Milan), Laura Kampman (strange, strange season, booking a few shows here and there), Lara Mullen (she has had a great season but slowed down in Paris), Irina Kulikova, Ros Georgiou, Josephine Skriver, Frida Gustavsson, Codie Young..
Otherwise, it has been a nice season for French girls (Marine Deleeuw, Joséphine Le Tutour, Manon Leloup) and there's been a bunch of interesting new faces.
Josephine Skriver was doomed to be what she is now, Codie never broke through, Frida is being "selective" (), Laura was never a big show girl, Lara Mullen is just a filler and Elza and Stef are doing fine. Ros is weird indeed.
Also, some new girls that exploded in NY and London seem to be doing rather bad in Paris.
Asia Piwka, anyone?
What about Karmen Pedaru? In Milan she missed Versace and Prada but she never did the show and in Paris she did only Balmain, Isabel Marant and Stella McCartney. Surprised she wasn't at Lanvin and Chanel....
Karen Elson is going to Paris right now. I think it's too late for her to be at Miu Miu. She will fly from the US and in Paris it's 9pm so no time for the fitting

Karmen can be selective now. She has been doing runway for years.
