...blonde girl arrives to shouted greetings from the half-dressed crowd in the bedroom. “I just rolled out of section,” she says casually. She is wearing a beautiful blue Lewis Albert dress with furry white Mukluks and a fur parka. She slips into the bedroom to change. Soon, she is padding around the suite in bare feet with red pedicured toes. She is Elizabeth R. Whitman ’06, the CEO of Lewis Albert Corp., as well as the fit model for the collection...

A throng of fashion press and buyers meandered through the dusty salons of Givenchy's Paris headquarters to view models in chiffon dresses and embroidered fur jackets posing as if in an avant-garde art installation. Tisci may be haute couture's most recent inductee, but he is clearly plugged into the same collective unconscious that informs his long-established colleagues and rivals. Restraint, romanticism and rediscovery were the recurring themes at many of the Paris shows...
