Don’t let his diminutive size and black-rimmed eyeglasses fool you. When it comes to high-luxe feminine fashion, Alber Elbaz is the go-to guy.
Since the fall of 2001, he has been creating gorgeous pieces under the house of Lanvin – which has been a favorite of celebs like Liv Tyler. For the label’s Spring 2009 collection held at the runways of Paris, the designer became uber-successful in featuring garments which, as he himself said: “made life easier for women”.
Check out pics from the collection below.

“A clash of historical eras, a fantasy of theatrics and thoroughly modern technical skills.” – that’s the classic John Galliano look as described by NY Fashion. And the Brit seems determined to teach us a thing or two about history.
At the John Galliano Spring 2009 collection held at the runways of Paris, historical bearskin hats mixed with lovely evening dresses, colorful suits and wearable but sheer frocks.
The doll-ish hair and makeup of the models did not distract from the fact that the clothes are the center of attention here – and there’s not a designer that can pull off the Galliano look than, well, John Galliano.

Louis Vuitton is more than just a monogrammed label: it’s a lifestyle and a fashion statement.
At the Spring 2009 Louis Vuitton collection held at the runways of Paris just recently, Marc Jacobs called the show reminiscent of a Little Parisienne princess. Which is completely and utterly brilliant.
From the obi-belted dresses and suits to the glittery sweaters and wide legged pants, there is definitely something here that every woman would die to have, unlike other collections which seems to be only suitable for the Gossip Girls or SATC cast.
Here’s the lil’ Parisienne princess look from the LV Spring 2009 collection:

More than just being the daughter of ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney has already carved a name of her own in the fashion industry. At the young age of 15, she was already working under Christian Lacroix.
When her Spring 2009 collection was showcased at the runways of Paris, we didn’t expect anything but the best from this designer. Her clothes are clearly a celebration of everything that a woman’s body has to offer. She’s definitely a master at cool-chic styles and designs.
Check out the effortlessly sexy Stella McCartney Spring 2009 collection.

The Christian Lacroix Spring 2009 Collection shown at the runways of Paris just recently gives the impression that the designer is trying to make the label more ‘wearable’ to the younger clientele.
NY Fashion describes the Christian Lacroix look as being “unapologetically glamorous, dramatic, and expensive-looking.”
And we can clearly see that in the collection. The signature giant corsages ala-Carrie in Sex and the City, as well as bows were back in full force.
Check out the collection for yourself.

If booties are in this season, wait until you see the thigh-high cowboy boots which created a buzz at the Givenchy Spring 2009 Collection in Paris.
The boots were worn with an almost-indecent, yet still uber-chic mid-thigh white frock and an exquisite black jacket. The theme of the show was “Western Bondage”, according to designer Riccardo Tisci himself.
The virtually unknown Italian took over the Givenchy house way back in 2005 – and his winter collection last year showed critics that he’s more than capable of running things, fashion-wise.
Check out which other pieces are worth drooling over from the collection:
