Paris Begins! Dries van Noten

After New York, London and Milan, we have finally arrived at Paris Fashion Week. Dries van Noten was shown in the mayor's ballroom at Paris City Hall. Before guests entered the opulent space, they had to go through security that rivals TSA.



The collection featured interesting textures, animal print, full skirts and plenty of black, gray and military green. Dries van Noten is wearable right off the runway.



A silver, metallic dress is reminiscent of chain mail. A double sided, furry scarf with tiger print on one side and leopard print on the other makes a fabulous accessory that can be worn over and over again. Sleeveless trenches in camel and tweed can be worn from the first signs of fall through winter with heavier clothing underneath. Love Mad Men? Dries van Noten's full skirted dresses will make you a modern Peggy Olsen or Betty Draper by adding large pockets to update the look.



Dries van Noten showed perfectly tailored jackets, fun dresses, layering, animal print and military green with a bit of navy thrown in. Look for these elements to add to your wardrobe come fall.
