Paris Fashion Week: Street Style
After four weeks on the road attending fashion shows in New York, London, Milan and now, finally, Paris, the fashion industry is understandably weary by the time they land in the City of Lights. But just because fashion magazine editors, buyers, models and fashion bloggers may have traded in their heels for brogues to survive the last week of fashion month (and not all of them have), Paris Fashion Week is still the crown jewel of the fashion season and everyone musters up their game. The Paris street fashion uniform has emerged as follows:
Fur Fashion Trends
Fur. Of any kind. Be it a chubby, a long fur coat, a fur collar or a fur vest, like it or not, the fashion elite at the 2011 Paris Fashion Week are loving their fur right now.
New C&L Collar Real Raccoon Fur Scarf Wrap

Vtg Brown Mink Vest
(starting bid, $395)
Vtg 70s Faux Fur Hooded Trench Coat
(current bid, $91)
Maxi Skirts
Below the knee, but preferably to the floor, long skirts are in. The best versions hug the body, and come in neutral colors like creams or black, or are full-skirted and printed. Pair with a cashmere crew neck and, what else, a fur vest.
Vtg 80s Florals Print High Waist Long Maxi Skirt

New Carmen Marc Valvo Silk Long Skirt
(buy it now price, $39.99)
Kate Moss Topshop Black Silk Bias Cut Maxi Skirt

Rainbow Bright Accessories
It’s tres chic (and safe) to stick to neutrals when it comes to the basic building blocks for an outfit, but the fashion folk at Paris Fashion Week throw caution to the wind when it comes to accessorizing. We’ve spotted neon green on patent leather heels and safety cone-orange clutches.
