Day 4 at Paris Fashion Week - Mellow Yellow Then Heating up for Kanye West

Saturday was the first day of October and it felt as hot and sticky as first day of August in central Paris. Yet nothing deterred the eager beaver fashionistas from hitting the catwalks - armed obviously with fans. That said, certain magazine editors have been remarkably absent from the front rows. During one a very, very famous US editor was spotted having a quiet drink at the Crillon.

Has Paris Fashion Week started to lose its sheen? Or maybe everyone is just a bit fashioned out after NYC, London, Milan etc.

Today saw Heider Ackerman, Comme des Garcons, Sonia Rykiel and JPG amongst others.

Sonia's stood out by miles with her vibrant yellow carpet and citrus, orange toned collection. For the first time clothes you actually wanted to wear. Elegant silk tops, cute caps and sheen skirts with cute shorts underneath. Hair pretty and flowing - not the severe ponytail - and smiling models. Local French stars were in full attendance.

There was one human moment which touched us and made Fashion Week feel real. All the models wore a funky clip that obviously wasn't secure enough. As they strutted they started to slip down and one actually fell off. One clip missing in action on the runway. It was painful to watch the models nearly tread on it. The final parade of each look assembled and I was willing one of the front row-ers to grab the clip. I caught eye of one and they just shrugged. At what point is fashion so inhuman and appearance-obsessed - even if it means a model hurts herself? Shocking.

The collection was fresh and vibant, yet cynics around me said it did not give them goosebumps. I mean, what were they expecting? Clothes aren't pleasure aids!

The big mission of the day was Kanye West's show and finding out where it was. Then getting in. I hooked up with a cool fashion blogger after I tipped him off about the private fashion show. He then got the scoop on venue, a lycee or school.

We located it in the old uni district and I headed straight there. One of my pals works for Mac and I ran into her. Talk about Fort Knox: the biggest burly bouncers. Luckily the guy who delivered the clothes range put the design boards on display. Very cool sharp dresses, Roland Mouret-ish. Casual stuff too. Prince, Beyonce and Jay-Z were all meant to be attending actual show. They even dropped a mock-up of a look - all white long trousers. Not exactly tight security.

A bitchy PR boy - who needed a good feed - started to moan about people hanging around the entrance so I decided to call it a day. Clearly Kanye and his rap crowd were too cool for school.

In fact, maybe he had overhyped and overbuzzed his show as the tweets coming out slated the new collection - some even saying the clothes did not fit the models. Fox shrugs, plunging necklines and clubby heels tried to fuse fashion and rap. Personally I quite liked some of the stuff. Note to self, Mr. West - let some real, nice people in next time and maybe you will avoid being judged. I mean? Have you ever seen people like Anna Wintour try to rap?

Here are a view pictures for you to make your own mind up...plus one of Ms. L...of course.
