After disappointingly monochromatic line-ups in Milan last week, Paris may be the ticket to a more colorful Fall 09.
Balenciaga showed this morning, on the first big day of shows at Paris Fashion Week, with Ethiopian-born Liya Kebede opening the show, the first black model on a Balenciaga runway in years (Chanel Iman also walked).
Could this be the beginning of a new direction for the season?
We wouldn't count on it just yet - Balmain was the same story as it's always been (and we're not just talking about the clothes).
