The sea of humanity waiting in heated anticipation for the start of John Galliano’s Dior Pret-a-porter show in the Jardin des Tuileries today in Paris.

A choice of some of my favourite looks from the haute couture shows for Fall Winter 2009 in Paris, with the distinctly monochromatic palette that i prefer, this season heavily embellished with gold hardware and accented with blush and nude tones.  Set against a photograph of a vintage pocket watch that I took through the window of  La Galerie Numismatique in the Palais Royal, Paris.
