Lanvin
"Inspired by grosgrain ribbons, Alber Elbaz fashioned a glamorous “striptease,” with drop-dead gorgeous dresses and plenty of Deco-inspired sparkle."
Marc Jacobs
"With Sonic Youth performing live onstage, Marc Jacobs sent out a collection that was superbly calm, controlled and much ado about great American sportswear."Narciso Rodriguez

Rodarte
"Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy dreamed up a breathtaking fantasy, full of delicate knits, enchanting degradé frocks and even a bewitching Goth ensemble or two."
