If you ask me the one show I would have loved to have seen in person this season, the answer is now simple: Louis Vuitton. While it may not be my favorite collection, it was certainly my favorite show to watch. Every time the elevator doors opened, it was a surprise: Raquel in her only appearance this season, Naomi, Amber Valetta, Carolyn Murphy, and Kate Moss in the end. From the soundtrack to the set to the casting, it all felt magic even on the live broadcast. It is the one show this season I am sure everyone will remember.

The Brazilians at the show: Raquel Zimmermann, Izabel Goulart, Aline Weber, Isabeli Fontana, and Bruna Tenório.

Rottweiler Chic

Rottweilers are now a trend for fall thanks to Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy show yesterday in Paris. I really liked this collection in particular, and loved that our cover boy Gabriel Burger walked the show for the second season in a row. Givenchy's casting is my favorite so far this season along with Jil Sander's.
