I remember in October when the reviews for that Lanvin show came out and talked about how a lot of the fabrics were polyester, I was shocked. I mean, those clothes draped beautifully and the fabric looked gorgeous to the touch.

I definitely want to see it in person to see what it really is like.

I don't think this is so shocking though. With this current obsession for techno fabrics (shiney, plastic coated, metallic) and also for interesting textures in fabrics, synthetic fibers are kind of a must at some point. There's only so much you can do with pure silk to make it look like rubber.
