Runway Review Snippets: Our top 5 from Paris are Balenciaga, Chloe, Miu Miu, Rick Owens, CarvenParis Fashion Week, as always is the most directional of cities when it comes to silhouettes and attitudes.This season, without exception, the Parisian runways offered a dramatic shift in form to a more oversized, almost cocoon shape and many with strong exaggerated shoulders.

Although that may be the case, wasn't it always? Isn't couture about that unattainable and highly elusive luxury item we all like to dream of having?
