...John Galliano was predictably unpredictable at Christian Dior; Julien Macdonald went back to basics at Givenchy; Karl Lagerfeld played with pretty at Chanel; and Donatella Versace retreated to the Versace boutique. At a time when the world's economy is shaky at best, the designers at the haute couture shows in Paris last week took no risks. They each did what was expected of them - even if that meant the unexpected. This time Galliano, Dior's designer, travelled to Asia, bringing back giant kimonos, hats that looked like ancient buildings, and two troupes of Chinese acrobats. The effect nearly made...
...Paris Ritz, darling. The salons were small and intimate, the better to see the craftsmanship.

First, fashion is inherently silly - it?s already a parody of itself. How does one top the Christian Dior newspaper collection designer John Galliano said was inspired by the homeless? Second, the world of fashion is a tight clique - it?s hard to get close enough to the key players to make the parody ring true...
