Paris Fashion for Spring 2013

Posted on Feb 19, 2013 | 0 comments

I love clothes… they are my second skin! What I choose to wear each day is usually dictated by my mood. There are those days when my mood says “put on the fleece pants and a t-shirt because we are not leaving the house!” This is not a bad day moment, it just means that I am in a creative mode so I turn on the sewing machine and see where my mood takes me! Sometimes I find I need a little help to get the creative juices flowing and that’s when I start surfing the internet, looking at designer ideas. I enter this world with caution however, because I am looking for inspiration, not things to copy. Don’t misunderstand me, I really enjoy making a copy cat dress; one that catches my eyes due to the color, style and details.

For example…”Mad Men” inspires the retro look.

My “Joanie” dresses, as one of my sons so eloquently puts it!

So – while I look to the inspiration of designers, I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I can come up with my own ideas. It is designer ideas though that have a big influence on what we are going to see on the racks in the shops, stores and boutiques each season so I find it fascinating to watch what they do.

The fall Paris Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Fashion Show was held September 26, 2012 and went through October 3, 2012. There are some wonderful web sites dedicated to presenting beautiful photos of these events that include this site

but I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites here with you. I will not likely ever own any of these designer’s apparel, but I’m not gonna say never because never is a fallacy right? Just go with it – I’m not gonna stop dreaming! 🙂

So check this out.
