I’m always mesmerized by what people wear to fashion week. Some dress to the nines, teetering around in Louboutins carrying Chanel bags. Others remain low key, as if they have just popped out of the office to take in a show. And I would say about half of the people in the tents dress with the intent of getting noticed. In just about every show I’ve attended this week, at least one person has been wearing a furry Russian style cap or blinged out sunglasses, like the Kerin Rose shades shown at Christian Siriano. In the video I did above for the Style Coalition, I talked to a few people about the styles we’ve been seeing on the spectators at fashion week. Two of the people interviewed were very fashionable. The others? Well, let’s just say they were part of the bunch that wanted to get noticed.

Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week Trends: Excited For… Embellished Waists
Embellished Waists
From flowers and stars to rhinestones and turquoise, belts were anything but boring on the runway. My favorite part about this trend is it’s so easy to do. You can clip a brooch onto a belt and bam! It’s embellished.

Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week Trends: Hesitant About… Cargo
Cargo
As much as I like military, I’m not excited for the cargo pant.. or short or skirt. The pockets are practical, yes. But with those extra pockets comes extra volume to your hips and legs. And who wants that?

Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week Trends: Still Loving… Military
Military
At first I adored anything with gold buttons and tassels. But when everyone in Hollywood started wearing Balmain’s jackets, I got a little bored of the military trend. But since it’s not going anywhere anytime soon, I’m willing to give it another chance. Plus, army green really makes my eyes pop.

Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week Trends: Still Loving… Peplum
Peplum
Peplum jackets and dresses gave even the skinniest models the illusion of an hourglass figure. My favorite was the soft ruffles at Lanvin.
