It's always fun to see new girls work the runway, but one of the fabulous trends of Paris Fashion Week was the appearance of some of our veterans of past seasons on the catwalk. Malgosia at Givenchy, Erin Wasson at Chanel, Carmen Kass and Sasha at Balmain, Liya at Balenciaga and Ana Beatriz at Lagerfeld are still superstars even if their dominance on the runway has been eclipsed by the next generation of model stars. Frankly their personality and experience make them pop on runways that are often populated by generic Central European teens. Never one for half-measures, Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton cast a parade of women more known as Victoria's Secret models then size two runway fixtures: Letitia Casta opened and Elle Macpherson closed the show with Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosia, Bar Refaeli in all their full-breasted glory. It was a straight man's dream! The ladies were perfect for Jacobs 1950's-ladies-inspired-by-Versailles silhouettes with corsets and long full-full-full skirts. Their presence makes us wonder if the CFDA's calls for eating disorder awareness and more realistic body mass indexes for models has had an effect. Somehow Paris seems like the place to showcase more adult-figured women. French Vogue's Carine Roitfeld constantly showcased women like Cindy Crawford, Daria Werbowy and Lara Stone whose, while still young by normal standards, are considered old in a modeling world that often sees stars having peeked and faded away by 20. Whatever the case we're happy to see a little diversité on the catwalk and believe that a more mature and busty woman can share the stage with a willow-thin girl and look great. We just need to get our eye accustomed to seeing anything but skeeny skeeny sweeties up there.
