Paris RTW Spring 2013: wrap up no. 3

It’s over. The Fédération Française de la Couture du Prêt-à-Porter des Couturiers and Créateurs de Mode (French Fashion Police) can rest easy for a few nights at least before starting to panic about Fall fashion in a few months’ time.

Some of the wrap ups of Paris fashion week include;

Harpers Bazaar’s wrap up of the big four fashion weeks. 

A full wrap up of every look in every show thanks to Vogue UK. Australian Vogue of course.

The Guardian weighs in.

As does the New York Times.
