From Time.com's photoessay, my opinions.

Paris fashion week is more over-the-top than New York's. You see more "concept" designs and less streetwear.

For example, this Dior number, inspired by Gustav Klimt. The dress itself is supersaturated yellow, some nice embellishments, but a ridiculous hemline and a bow guaranteed to poke you in the face during conversation. The hair and make-up? Atrocious.

This seafoam Armani is beautiful. Soft, feminine flowy skirt, form-fitting bodice and a bit of edge on the shoulder. Shows off the wearer and the designer.

If Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue had a baby, they'd get Christian Lacroix to dress her. A fairy-tale shepherdess in royal pastels, all she's missing is a crook with a little pink bow on it.

White chiffon Armani. I like the creamy drape of the skirt, and the winding black and turquoise embellishments. Again with the neck armor... is she jousting late
