PARIS, October 5, 2006 – Talk about a brilliant idea. Invite people to your dad's Bois de Boulogne villa—not just any villa, actually, but the former home of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor—for a quick peek at your latest collection, followed by cocktails. The curiosity factor attracted editors and buyers who have long since sworn off 9:30 shows to designer Jasmine Al Fayed's otherwise modest presentation tonight. And when it came to her father Mohamed's sitting rooms, they weren't disappointed. Those were original portraits of Wallis Simpson on the walls. As for the young designer's clothes, they showed a marked improvement over last season's louche fare.

"Becoming a mother has lightened my mood," said the 25-year-old. In addition to the allover beaded number that Al Fayed herself donned, showing off a post-pregnancy body that other girls would kill for, there was an off-the-shoulder jersey number and a smoking, but with shorts. The focus, however, was day clothes: a baby doll, a shorts-and-puff-sleeve-blouse set, a shirtdress. None was lighter, though, than a shift with a wild mustang print.

I tend to like presentations because they can be more fun and this is no exception.

^ agreed, the fence obscures just about everything. Sweet minidresses though.

 

[cric-croc]

very H&M..actually H&M is better, at least they do more unconventional and funky clothes

I like the idea...some pieces.
I love the way they were shown. Looks almost like an editorial and it helps to see yourself in the clothes. They're more than just pretty dresses strutting. You can see what they'd ACTUALLY be like when you're wearing them.
But I think it would show better if some of those models weren't so SMILEY and trying to hard. The first girls were the best.
