Mais oui! Vice President of Ready-to-Wear Fashion, Linda DeFrances reports back to SaksPOV readers on her favorite looks from the front lines of Paris Fashion Week.  Be sure to check out Linda’s pick from the Milan collections on SaksPOV. — Edited by Sophia Chabbott

Haider Ackermann Runway
“An extraordinary collection! There were outstanding jackets with sculpted peplums paired with long lean skirts. I particularly loved the idea of leather cut away from the body layered with silk blouses and soft knit cowls. As always, there was lots of layering and with rich hues of berry, loden, purple, rust and orange. Haider is truly a master of color.”

Stella McCartney Runway
“Stella combined textures, novel knitwear with her signature sporty sensibility that translated into clothes for a modern day women. Graphic embroideries and mixed menswear fabrics in feminine shapes were the favorites.”

Alexander McQueen Runway
“Looking forward, Sarah Burton delivered a collection of pure wonder!
Layers upon layers of laser-cut organza petals in vivid red, fuchsia, and pink. Laser-cut leather in black and white pattern, and floral brocades enveloped and trimmed with Ostrich feathers just wowed.”
