Paris Men's Fashion Week Spring 2012: Louis Vuitton, Dries van Noten, Yves Saint Laurent, Rick Owens, Balmain, Givenchy

So far, Paris refined the fire of fashion once again, redeeming disastrous Milan.

Louis Vuitton

I'm not really into this label but the new direction by Kim Jones had me on board. I thought there was something for everybody here(well, that if you have money,lol). I especially like the looks with choking blanket scarves. And who knew the Philippine flag could be so fashionable?

Rick Owens

Dresses for men? I thought this is a very strong collection by Rick Owens. The comibination of  jacket and long skirts has had me thinking " Could this be the new suit?" Impossible, but still a very brave move.

Balmain

If there is one label out there oozing with the word "Cool", then Balmain would certainly fits the bill. The departure of Decarnin wasn't even visible in this spring collection by its new creative Olivier Rousteing, only lighter. The jacket-shirt-cool-jeans-scarf-high-boot combo done in pastel but what's missing is the to-die-for phrase attached to the jackets which the house is so known for.

Yves Saint Laurent

This is one of those collections that bores me in a good way(is that possible?,lol). This is a fantastic collection by Stefano. Jackets are amazingly cut and the khaki pieces are so good. There is so much subtleness and simplicity to the clothes, but somehow managed to stay interesting and looking fresh.

Givenchy

After the dark clowns, leopard  and dogs and the whole Catholicism Riccardo has presented these years for Givenchy, he has finally found the light through flowers. The print exist from shirts, shorts, suits, pants, and even the leggings that he has pioneered since. I love this collection(although the looks are a bit redundant) but don't we all like Givenchy in its darker side? And after sending a few looks for women, does that mean Riccardo is still in Givenchy and not in Dior's fences now?
