Bonjour and happy Friday! PFW has been incredible so far. It's usually my favorite, tied with London, because the creativity level is so elevated. Many of the French designers create such dreamy catwalks and definitely take you out of reality - which to me is the most important part of a runway show! Yesterday's outings didn't disappoint either. Let's look at the trends and best looks from Thursday: Lots...

I love the menswear inspiration and the extremely wearable fabrics...
