    So far we've spotted more than a few memorable looks during Paris Fashion Week. A trend throughout seems to be fresh, young, easy clothing in ready-to-wear-collections. We've also noticed a few recurring details such as enlarged sleeves, thick heels, cut-outs, collars, and super unique (to say the least) accessories. The collections are perhaps less overt in comparison to London Fashion Week, but they certainly didn't skim us on design. Take a look at a few of our favorite lines.

    Balenciaga RTW S/S 2013

    Balenciaga is the breath of fresh air that represents spring paired with the playful fun of it. Peek-a-boo midriffs, the mix of curves and sharp angles along with light but beautifully crafted accessories make the collection extremely refined and smart. It's the unintentionally cool collection. And obviously made with me in mind.

    Carven RTW S/S 2013

    This collection is a prime example of how to go to the edge and not fall off. Just enough femininity and sex appeal with just enough attention to detail make for an assortment of bold, classic staples. Nearly each look made me wonder why it wasn't already sitting in my closet.

    Rochas RTW S/S 2013

    Drama. Classic drama. And I'm not completely sure what to call the over-sized head wrap/band/blindfold pieces, but they do add a certain interest. The Rochas collection is a modern take on 1950′s fashion, and I have no qualms with that.
