MARGARET HOWELL SS11 MEN’S PRESENTATION
In the busy world of fashion schedules and presentations - Margaret Howell always manages to provide a welcome friendly retreat. The spring-summer 2011 collection was shown on Sunday, (a very hot) last day of men’s ready-to-wear in Paris. An ever-evolving collection for spring summer 2011 was displayed in their own store on the Place de la Madeleine alongside design classic homeware and furniture pieces. Key looks included Linen knits, fisherman’s jacket, spot print sea-island cotton, garment dyed separates, chambray washes, double-pleat trousers and ‘the shirt-jacket’.
Many of the journalists admitted to being avid fans of the brand - eagerly selecting their personal favourites ahead of collections arriving in-store next year! Margaret was also on hand to discuss her inspiration, design and life in general.

MODUS LOVES… ADAM KIMMEL AND GEORGE CONDO WINDOW DISPLAY AT COLETTE
I couldn’t resist stopping and taking a few pictures of this window display at Colette in Paris on Saturday - these eerie creations are the work of artist George Condo for menswear designer Adam Kimmel for his AW10 collection presentation in February, and now sending shivers down the spines of passersby on Rue Saint-Honoré...

LI XIAOFENG PORCELAIN POLO FOR LACOSTE
Oh I do love a work trip, especially in our industry. No sooner had we touched down back in Blighty from a successful (and let’s say very…er…’sociable’) trip to Milan, than Modus was herded onto the early morning Eurostar to Paris for Lacoste! They were celebrating the showcase of their AW10 Holiday Collectors collaboration at the Musée des Arts et Métiers with Beijing-based artist Li Xiaofeng, who creates bespoke pieces of clothing from broken and discarded shards of Chinese Porcelain. Consider it a form of fashion-meets sculpture-meets representing East-meets-West in aesthetic. He has been challenged by Lacoste to create a classic polo in his signature artistic language, from which a print will be made of the resulting porcelain formation, and transferred onto a limited edition range of polo’s, available in the UK from November!
And of course, in true Lacoste style, what better way to celebrate than with a party…

PARIS FASHION WEEK, AKRIS AW10 RUNWAY SHOW
Paris Fashion Week, Akris AW10 Ready to Wear Show:
Photo and Article credit Style.com:
From Nicole Phelps Article on Style.com. Picking up where his smart pre-collection left off, Albert Kriemler’s Fall lineup was focused on languid, seventies-ish tailoring and outerwear with a sportif sensibility. The lean, spare silhouette of his suits—elongated jacket, high-waisted flared trousers—provided an opportunity to showcase the fine fabrics that Akris’ St. Gallen mills specialize in: Prince of Wales checks, houndstooths, tweeds, and plaids, all in the supplest cashmere. And it doesn’t get any more luxe than Kriemler’s long-sleeved blouse in a taupey-gray sheared astrakhan. As subtle as that fur and those menswear cashmeres were, his leathers were vibrant: a trim, to-the-body sleeveless dress in cassis, a fitted double-breasted coat in plum. As for the sportier fare, you’re never going to see a straight-up down parka here. Kriemler’s came in camel hair with drawstrings on the sleeves and across the torso and back to adjust the fit.
