The long weary road has come to an end. The fashion flock has flown from New York to London, London to Milan, and finally to Paris. And the weary birds have now finished their migration. We have Fashion Week photo snap shots from Balenciaga, Balmain, John Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Hermes, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Giambattista Valli. And don't forget our videos of Christian Dior and Christian Lacroix.

Miu Miu Fall 2008 Fashion Show As Seen During Paris Fashion Week
Miuccia Prada really struck a chord with us this Fall 08. Her collection for Prada is included on our top five list, alongside, so far, Preen and Yves Saint Laurent. This list is as honest as it gets and so we've no qualms doubling up (heck, if it weren't honest we wouldn't have the nerve to put Preen and YSL on the same scoreboard)--and so we're also going to include Miu Miu Fall 08 as one of our favorites. Prada's collection for Miu Miu was inspired by sportswear, specifically jockey uniforms, and gave a slight wink to the lace in the Prada collection. Miu Miu, which takes on a younger persona than Prada in the first place, was full of playful tech inspired frocks and layers. It seemed to us a collection with the same sinister mood as the Prada show however appropriate to its own persona. Those jewel tones, neoprene-like fabrics, and boyish lolita-esque styling, made for a collection that could inspire all kinds of Fall fashion personas. And this is why we liked it best. Something about this collection stirred up in us all kinds of creative ideas about what might become of Fall 08 and that's not something you can say about most collections. Miuccia we heart you. Lots.

Geometry, strong colors, and boatloads of black made up the Christian Lacroix collection for the Fall 2008 runway. There were also some short ensembles that, thankfully, pushed forward the bell trend. Lacroix calls this aesthetic new minimalism but if these block colors and geometric prints are minimal we'd like to see what happens when the man gets crazy and goes all out! Take a look at the video and decide for yourself.
