Part 1: If We Were Rachel Zoe in Paris...

Well, dear hearts, Paris Fashion Week has ended and we must say we were really quite impressed. Although the Paris shows may not have been as edgy as those in Milan, there were certainly many beautiful looks from some of our fave designers. And, of course, we noticed many different trends as well.

Ordinarily, we are not overly fond of jumpsuits. Believe it or not, however, we thought there were quite a few gorgeous jumpsuits walking the Parisian catwalks this year, and below we show you some of the very best. 


1. Project Runway Jumpsuit. This jumpsuit, designed by Phoebe Philo for Celine, has an interesting detail that we feel like we've seen week after week on Project Runway. In fact, we're wondering if Ms. Philo talked to Michael Kors, former creative director at Celine, about his time on PR because this detail is unmistakably PR. That's right. It's the very shiny, very exposed zipper   Unlike the PR zippers, however, Ms. Philo has placed her zipper in the front rather than the back of the garment, and we think we rather like it (although we're not sure about the way it ends right at her lady parts). What we love most about this jumpsuit, however, is the shape at the top. We also quite like how minimalistic it is. For jumpsuits, which are so often associated with the seventies, the cleanness of the lines in this garment make it, in our eyes anyway, super modern. Plus, we think it's super sexy and could be a bold statement on a Red Carpet. We could see someone tall, slim and edgy pulling this look off. In other words, we could totally see this on Keira Knightley.
