PFW may not be over yet, but as I arrived back in London I'm quickly coming down with a serious case of the fashion week blues. This season was my very first visit to Paris, and upon arrival I realised how high the style stakes are on the streets of France. It's fair to say the Parisians take dressing to impress to a whole new level.
It all felt a little surreal for me, from getting to tell Bryanboy he's amazing (super cringe... I know, but it had to be done!) or standing back in in awe as Chiara Ferragni casually swanned past, channelling effortless cool in a Moschino bag, Louis Vuitton coat and MSGM gloves. Chiara wasn't the only one looking fashionably fabulous, show after show, more and more fashionista's flooded the premises, with outfit after outfit looking even more unbelievably chic, I kid you not you could near enough smell the luxury in the air. Accessories, which prominently popped up, included signature Chanel bags, knee-high boots, and oversized sunglasses.
It was weird to think that I was in Paris the same time as Kanye West, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Moss, Solange Knowles, Anna-Dello-Russo and Anna Wintour, to name a few. Of course during London Fashion Week you can do your fair share of celeb spotting, but Paris is full to the brim of A-listers, with a soaring show schedule that screams high fashion, they just couldn't stay away if they tried. Designers showcasing this season included Chanel, Givenchy, Christian Dior, Céline and Balmain.

During Fashion Week it really is about getting out there and networking, chatting to people, and exchanging details. In the five days I was there I met an array of designers, models, DJs, PRs and other fashion fanatics. One of the people I met had actually bumped into Karl Lagerfeld, and another got to meet Kanye West. It proves you just have to be in the right place at the right time, and who knows what could happen.
When the days turned into nights, after the shows it was time for the after-parties or soirées, I wanted to take full advantage as I'd never been out in Paris, so was intrigued to see what Paris' nightlife had to offer. As a fan of the brand a highlight of mine was the KTZ official after-party, it had some seriously cool vibes, with the majority of the attendee's staying loyal to the brand, either rocking only Black/White or going all out in head to toe Kokon To Zai.
The party projected the Fall ready to wear collection, on screens around the venue, with a predominantly hip hop playlist, live DJs and a guest-list of fashion cool kids and socialites, amongst the crowd I spotted models like Soo Joo (Moschino/Armarni) and Willy Cartier (Givenchy) to name a few. I couldn't possibly fit all my highlights into one post as I had an amazing week, so to cut a long story short, the verdict is: If you are looking for a fun yet high fashion experience, Paris Fashion Week should be a date to add to your diary.
