Yay, I found a thread with all the links. It's weird that they are "hidden".

Actually,now they've blocked the full designer list. You must acquire a password to even get it. It's strange too because if you've saved a particular designer by direct link you can still access it. I don't know what purpose blocking the list serves.

Thanks! I always wondered why they didn't have Chanel... I'll probably spend the next rainy hour at these sites.

softgrey · Mar 27, 2005

yeah...i can access the individual links but not the list any longer...
that is odd...

Why did they stop showing the Paris pictures in the first place?

I think it was back at the fall 2003 Paris shows in March of 2003 when there was a lot of controversy regarding the availability of catwalk shows on the internet. Some houses felt that because catwalk images were available online within hours of the show, labels were leaving themselves susceptible to counterfeiters and knockoffs. Didier Grumbach, chairman of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture, painted a very grim picture, claiming that the end of fashion was near. So many houses simply refused entrance to the catwalk photographers. Chanel was one that made an especially big stink and other houses followed suit. Firstview was forced to remove all of their Paris coverage for awhile and then slowly reintroduced those designers to their site that had expressed no displeasure. And to this day, you can't find archival Chanel images on sites like style.com. These guys are serious.

it's a bit silly though,if you really think about it. I mean come on...Chanel is the most copied/knocked-off house of anybody and has been since Coco was still designing. Not allowing their images to be shown on the net is not going to stop anybody.

But now everybody has to give written permission to let them show their collections. It all seems a tad absurd just for the sake of fashion.

My thoughts exactly, I mean, just because the pictures aren't shown so soon after the show isn't stopping knock offs, it's only delaying them, if anything.

The only real impact it's had, so it seems, is on the fans of fashion who look forward to seeing close up pictures of the latest collections which is a shame really.
