Paris Fashion Week has officially kicked off with a runway show from Paskal, rounding off an entire month of Fall/Winter gear in the four fashion capitals. Unfortunately, the fashion world will have to manage without a show from Givenchy due to Ricardo Tisci’s departure. However, there will be enough fabulous ensembles to gush over from Dior, Elie Saab, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
