I have never seen so much fur in my life than in the John Paul Gaultier Fall '08 collection. Fur coats, fur hats, fur scarves, animal skins worn as capes, you name it, John Paul had it.

Aside from the fact that there were a lot of dead animals on display some of the clothes were actually quite basic and wearable. We saw a lot of capes (a la Posh) and tons of gold, which we knew would be a big trend for '08. The models walking down the runway looked like fierce princess warriors from the Ice Age.

The high waisted pants trend continues and moms everywhere can rejoice, while young girls everywhere stop eating. And the show was all about dark muted colors -- reds the color of wine, lots of grey and black, even the golds were darker.

Also, you can forget florals for fall. Florals are for spring, but animal print is for fall. Designs inspired by leopards, tigers, zebras and more, were the norm at this show. In fact, the whole show was very raw and animalistic.



John Paul took fur to a whole new level, but for me it was a bit much. I mean, some of these girls are wearing entire animals on their heads! What do you think about these savage clothes? While I can totally imagine Mary Kate Olsen wearing lots of pieces from the collection, personally, I think I'll pass.
