Dior hems plunge, Lanvin celebrates in Paris

The buzz at Paris's ready-to-wear shows on Friday wasn't just about the clothes.
Bill Gaytten, former designer John Galliano's temporary replacement, was again at the helm of Christian Dior's fashion collection, directing a demure, play-it-safe show that channeled the powerhouse's bread-and-butter New Look-inspired gowns with cinched 1950s waists.
But the collection was almost overshadowed by chatter that Gaytten, who was supposed to continue for only a few seasons, may be kept on longer.
Will he become the longest-serving interim designer in fashion history?
Day four of the frantic nine days of the Paris fashion calendar was also colored by the celebrity-filled, energetic spectacle offered by Lanvin.

"Dreams, history and the past," Alber Elbaz said of his extravaganza show that celebrated and retraced his 10-year journey as creative director of Lanvin.
Every inch of the couture, ruffles and shimmer that revitalized the house over the last few years was on display Friday, including reinterpretations of 1960s vintage pieces from the iconic archives.
Celebrities, like singer Mika and actress Tilda Swinton sat in the front row, behind whom some 2,000 revelers applauded exquisite cocktail gowns that included patches of the Art Deco fur of Jeanne Lanvin's 1920s heyday.
Spotlighting dappled the colors of scuba-like neoprene dresses with peplums and inflated arms in canary yellow, emerald green and royal blue.
Reading like a Lanvin fashion encyclopedia, the theme switched to a leather-infused take on sportswear jackets with a dazzling array of reworked parkas, perfectos and bombers.Perhaps designers are taking a cue from Online The North Face Outlet Shop and increasingly mild winters.
The next chapter revisited archive pieces such as a duchesse satin insert -- replicated from the 1960s -- on a black and gold brocade gown with matching knee-high boots.
Another vault piece, a black bustier dress with calico ruffles, got whoops from the crowd, perhaps still giddy from the flowing pre-show champagne.
The collection closed with a celebratory, postmodern twist: sheaths printed with Elbaz's own hand-drawn sketches of dresses over the years, including two-dimensional ruffles and slashes.Even functional Discount Ralph Lauren UK Outlet Shop Sale can be sleeveless.
Instead of bowing, a joyful Elbaz took a microphone to the stage and, admitting he couldn't sing, attempted a rendition of "Que sera sera.This is a 100% authentic canada goose jackets,we don't have anything that's 100 percent."
The future is not ours to see: But with this, one of the strongest shows of the season so far, it looks shiny bright.
