Fashion Week Diary because even though Milan is already behind us, I still haven’t really told you much more than “I love these shoes! I love this show! I love this girl!” And really, I’m a much deeper more profound girl than that (“I love yoga!!!”)
So today, special just for you….. *drum roll please…*
The Big Questions I’m Asking Myself During Fashion Week
Fashion Week Diary parce que quand même Milan c’est déjà fini et je ne vous ai rien raconté d’autre que “J’adore ces chaussures ! J’adore ce show ! J’adore cette fille !” alors qu’en fait je suis une fille vachement plus profonde que ça (“J’adore le yoga !!!” ).
Donc aujourd’hui spécialement pour vous, tatatataaaaaaa…
Les Grandes Questions Que Je Me Pose Pendant Cette Fashion Week.
Big Question Number One :
Where are our favorite models from years past?
Did you see the shows? C’mon! Where was Freja? And where was Sasha? And Constance? We all saw the fantastic Karlie Kloss do a few turns on the runway but outside of that, only cute little newbies.
So here’s the question : Are they saving them for Paris? Are they getting exclusive contracts? Are they now too big to do all the shows? Are they over and done for and fallen into the dark hole of fashion’s long forgotten?
Already Calvin Klein stole the beautiful Lara Stone to walk his and only his runways.
(Personal message for Lara : Lara, I miss your sexy truck driver walk)
So this is me saying right here and now, give me back my Freja.
Big Question Number Two :
What’s going on with cheekbones?
It was 10 or so years ago, okay, probably more but that doesn’t matter, that someone decided that the thing that every woman had to dream of having would be a luscious mouth. (and you have to say it with a sexy accent, like Laetitia Casta : luhseeeuhhzzzz)
No problem, some people thought, we’ll just pump ’em up!!! Done!
10 years of giant smackers later, the same person decided that the new thing we had to dream of having would be high cheek bones.
As soon as that took, some people said (probably the same people, indeed) : We’ll just pump ’em up!!!
It’s a pretty scary little circus show to watch those addicted to plastic surgery.
So this is me saying right here and now, please stop.
Big Question Number Threeeeee!
Who is going to win the designer race?
Marc is going to Dior, Phoebe to Vuitton, Raf to YSL, nothing is fully confirmed and is all very vague and every day some new piece of huge news comes falling down upon us. “coming from sources very, very, very, very close to the designer…” but nothing ever happens.
Who, whoooooo, whoooooo is going where??? Please, I beeeeeeegggggg you, just tellllllll me or I’m going to have a heart attaaaaaaaack!!! Ohmagadohmagad!
Ok, I’m kidding.
And for now… Big Question Number Foooour!!!
What will the Kanye West Collection Look Like?
Wait, there we have it!!! Kanye is actually going to win the designer race!
Yes, no, yes really, of course you heard me right. Kanye is launching his own women’s collection during Fashion Week Paris and we’re invited because we’re so buddy buddy with the staaaaaars (say it like Laetitia Casta, with the stahrrrrrrrs)
So there you have it all you haters who think that Kanye West goes to all the fashion shows for some shameless self promotion : nope, wrong again —-> He’s doing industrial espionage!!!!
The show is at 9:30pm, which is when I’m usually fast asleep, but I’m still going. Because if it’s anything near what Victoria Beckham or The Row was like, then I won’t make any fun beforehand. Kanye West the fashion show, I’m sure it’ll be great.
And finally Big Question number fiiiiiveeee
The mosquito that is currently fighting hard for dear life on my leg, won’t he just go ahead and die a terribly painful death, like, I dunno, under the 25 pounds of US Vogue that I’m about to drop on his head?
That’s the last Big Question of the day and I have even fewer answers than for the others. Unfortunately, for my leg, if we run into each other and I’ve got red spots all over my leg, please please please, just don’t ask me any questions.
Aaaah, actually, come to think of it, I still have a whole bunch of Big Questions!!! Okay. Give me your answers to these ones and I’ll keep them coming as soon as I have this mosquito situation figured out.
Big hugs!

j’ai plein d’autres questions !
que mangent les fashion weekeurs ? et les hôtels sont-ils remplis de fashion weekeurs, ce qui fait que tu en croises au petit déjeuner, le soir en rentrant, titubant un peu sur leurs talons ? as-tu le temps de te promener un peu (à part pédaler d’un endroit à l’autre à toute vitesse, sans casque) ? est-ce que les gens s’échangentd es cartes ? twittent pendant les défilés ?
le coup des pommettes, beurk… si meme les Miss Univers se refont, alors où va t on?
Raf to YSL? first news! I was so in love with Pilatti’s work!
Good luck with the mosquito!

I have no answers, but I’m with you on all those questions (except there’s no mosquito on my leg right now) and am eagerly awaiting the answers!

On en apprend un peut plus car je n’étais pas au courant pour Raf qui va soit disant passant aller chez YSL !
Great New !
J’ai aussi hâte de voir les photos du défilé de Kanye West !!!
Belle journée,
M.
Yes I am kind of curious to see in what direction the collection of Kanye will go… I hope he will stay away from the cliché “I rap so I design slutty clothes for wannabe video vixen”.
Beautiful photo!
For the moustique spots, put some almond oil on it… It helps to cal the itching…

La fashion week t’a fatigué, non ?
Moi la grande question que je me pose est : que portait Garance à la Fashion Week ? Pas une photo de toi :(
Haha, saleté de moustique! Que le pouvoir du Vogue l’écrabouille comme un vulgaire insecte qu’il est!
Célestine
Excellent ce post.
Ça fait plein de questions en même temps ça. Mais elles sont légitimes.
Il y a un tel roulement chez les mannequins qu’il est vrai que plein de petites nouvelles sont arrivées. Constance, égérie d’une grande marque n’a peut-être plus besoin de défiler.
La collection Kanye West, j’ai vraiment hâte de la découvrir !
Bonne chance contre ce méchant moustique.
“Vogue” is the answer!
I was laughing out loud , thanks Garance !
Excellent, tu me donnes plein d’infos que je n’avais pas trop suivies.
Heureusement que tu es là, que ferait on s’en toi!?!?
Je veux la photo du moustique écrasé sous les piles de Vogue.
Oui, je sais , j’ai un petit coté… beurk! ;-)
Allez, file à la “Paris Fashion week” et reviens nous vite avec des petits gossip!! ;-) xx

kanye has some interesting potential, though, i hope his collection is not frenetic, given his personality and his engagement in a number of other creative mediums…..
i kill my bugs with windex…. spray until the death!

i’m really excited to see kanye’s collection too. i know that it will be amazing because anything that he puts out is.

Love your fashion week diary. Looking forward to hearing from Paris!

I love your big questions.
I have no naswers but a few more: which collections struck you, and which were overrated by the press? Why?
p.s.
I think you mixed up the Row with Victoria Beckham – the row should be the Olsens, if I recall correctly.
It’s the english version that messes up the row and Mrs. Victoria…
Alors je suis tout simplement plié avec cette histoire de moustique. Superbe article, comique et fashion existential tout à la fois. lol
Même question : OÙ EST FREJA ? (et Constance aussi, hein !)
J’attends les défilés parisiens avec impatience, suis persuadée qu’elles y seront ! :)

I, personally, was starting to miss your way of telling the insider stories:)
According to Sonia: “Vogue is the answer”. Or better Killer Vogue (because of the mosquito) is the answer! :-)

oh lalaaaa les pommettes, nooooon !
mais c’est vrai , ou est Freja ?
Kate
Garance je t’adoooooooooooore (fan en furie !)
Mis à part ça, je me suis posée la même question pour les models… Frejaaaa & Sashaaaa :(
Cheekbones… no clue. I think people missed the memo that you could make and accentuate your cheekbones without getting them surgically enhanced. Hmm, the things people will do these days.
Kanye… hmmm. I have a feeling it’s going to be good. Edgy, urban, streetwear or a complete twist than what you’d expect and floor length gowns made of sequins and chiffon?! That’s more my question, what is going to be his signature style. That is what I can’t wait to see. Also, what did Kanye actually do. I’m assuming more than stamp his name on a label and call it a day (I’m hoping more than that). But really, I need to know what Kanye did.

J’ai bien ri en lisant ce post, et ça, c’est bien.
C est toujour un enorm plaisir allumer l ordinateur e lire ton merveilleuse blog :-)
j ‘essay d ecrire en francais mais cette c est ma premierre semain a Paris ,anyway merci garance
I like the Grandes Questions, whoops, pardon, les Garances Questions, I like them better!
Ca va, Garance? Tu vas tenir la semaine à Paris ou bien? ;)
Juste pour info, je crois qu’YSL a démenti l’information concernant Raf Simons. Mais Susy Menkes n’avait pas donné de délai, donc peut être que c’est pour la saison prochaine, so wait and see.
En tout cas ce post était chouette à lire, merci :)
The big question is only one.
“What am I going to wear today?”
It is the question that torments millions of women and I am not sure the fashion shows answer it. They give a clue, yes, but I still prefer to check out photos of stylish ladies you post.
Kisses from Greece!
C’est pas des Grandes questions, c’est des Garance questions!
hilarious post. Garance I love :)
and 100% agree – give us Freja back!
moi je suis contente que Constance continue !!! elle est tellement sympa et fraîche !! et surtout, elle ne se prend pas la tête comme d’autres !
très sympa e répondre à ta propre interview, on devrait faire ça plus souvent !!!
http://100pour100soie.blogspot.com/
“10 ans de double-knackis” excellent.
Comment répondre à autant de questions!! Tout ce que je peux dire c’est que je fais une overdose d’injection, de chirurgie esthétique, de retouche, mais Vivement que le naturel revienne (ok je suis bien trop optimiste…). Et pour ce qui est de nos mannequins fétiches, je n’ai qu’une hate, les retrouver à Paris!!!

What?! Pheobe Philo for Vuitton?
C’mon give me a break! lol
Sometimes this looks like a Hollywood soap opera where everyone is breaking up with everyone. When we don’t really know which source we should trust.
Great post!
Les moustiques a Milan c’est la mort!!
Ma coloc m’a dit que c’etait des moustiques “tigres” je veux bien la croire
Pour ce qui est de nos mannequins préférés je suis sur qu’elles vont nous surprendre!
love this recap – I love hearing opinions on the rest of fashion week other than just the clothes!
Pour les pommettes, j’ai bien envie de dire qu’une certaine Carla a lancé la mode…
Tiens je me demandais la meme chose: ou est Freja? J’espere la voir dans les defiles de Paris, elle manque vraiment a mon avis, heureusement qu’il y a aussi Ginta Lapina parfois.
Quant aux pomettes hautes, je crois que je prefere ca aux bouches hyper gonflees du passe.. reste a voir!
Kanye avec sa collection – j’ai hate! Il a l’air de bien comprendre la mode feminine, il aime bien porter des chemises de chez Proenza Schouler donc a priori ca sera une bonne collection.
La course aux createurs: j’attends les nouvelles officielles mais a mon avis ca sera Marc s’il arrive vraiment chez Dior.
Bonne chance avec les moustiques!

I had a few laughs on this post! I’m really looking forward to reading about Kanye’s collection. Hope the doucheness materializes in genius.

Garance, you rule!!!
I can’t even imagine the collection that Kanye could design that would be true to himself but accepted by the world. I feel he has a lot to overcome in public opinion. It will be interesting to see.

ouais ouais moi je veux le retour de freja, ginta, lily donaldson, sasha, etc…parmi les nouvelles par contre j’adore Daphné Groeneveld, elle a une gueule incroyable!! carine R. a le flair pour trouver les pépites.
Ouaip ben Kanye West qui lance une collection au début j’ai cru à une blague, je me disais que c’était encore une démarche hyper mégalo comme il a pu en faire dans le passé …et puis j’ai lu quelques articles à ce sujet, et cette démarche à l’air très sérieuse, finalement je suis curieuse de voir ce que ça va donner …
my dream is to go to fashion week! how exciting

Question 1: Certes… mais cette saison il y a Bambi!

u are soooooooo funny! te amo! ;)
I cannot wait to see what kind of action Kanye will stir up for PFW.

Hahahahhahahaaaa!!! ‘espionnage industriel’, ‘ecrase sous les 12 kilos de Vogue US’… Garance can I get moooooooooooore? More more of you????
Et question mannequins, la sublime Bianca Balti défile-t-elle ?
Je ne comprends pas on ne voit pas plus souvent cette fille !
I’m a much deeper more profound girl than that (“I love yoga!!!”)
ahahahahahahaha I loved that!
LOL,tes questions s’ajoutent aux miennes du style vais-je avoir un contact visuel intense avec un beau mannequin en me perdant dans Paris?ou serais-je au bon endroit au bon moment pour choper une picture de Kayne? ou vais-je comme par magie me retrouver là au coeur d’un fashion show?bon en attendant d’être magicienne je me contente de savourer chaque ligne de ton blog;merci Garance,u made my days :)
P.S: STOP aux pommettes anormalements saillantes,c’est une agression visuelle XD
je m’en fou”qui va ou?”(si c’est possible dire ca sur un fashion blog),mais j’adoooooore ton sense of humour!!!!!!!!!
Génial ce post!!! J’adore.. J’ai vais allumer ma bougie dyptique “figuier” ;)
thank you for clarifying the Kayne thing. it was bothering me a tad bit… but now I can’t wait to see the show!
totally made my day! (said like lil’ Miss Casta, “daiii”)
<3
Great Questions!

J’étais à milan puis à Florence il y a 2 semaines, les moustiques m’ont défiguré les jambes et les bras… j’ai même une piqure sur le coude…juste sur le pli!!! ATROCE!!
I love this! I can’t believe they still haven’t decided on a Dior designer… and I can’t believe Kanye is doing his own collection. What has this world come to!?
? Fox Whiskers
what? no Freja? she’s my absolute favourite! Whose picture am I going to take to the hairdresser now and say “make me look that cool”. She’s so rock’n’roll!
