Balenciaga showed its autumn winter collection at Paris fashion week yesterday to the usual crew of editors, journalists, stylists and models. Noticeably absent however was the editor of French Vogue Carine Roitfeld (pictured above at NYFW) and any of her team.

According to online fashion bible wwd.com they have been blacklisted from attending the show. Commenting on the ban Roitfeld said ‘Its too bad, it’s a beautiful house and it’s French, I hope that it’s not forever.’

The Queen of fashion, editor in chief of American Vogue , Anna Wintour was in attendance, pictured above arriving at the show. Following the show it became clear that French Vogue will miss out.

Nicholas Ghesquiere’s latest collection for Balenciaga saw a great juxtaposition between new age modernist influences with the time honoured perfection of French tailoring. The often sharp shapes of his garments were gently softened with a pastel colour palette. It seems that rather than go down the dark and dreary root as many of his fellow designers have Nicholas chose to go for delicate colour blocking in futuristic inspired designs.

With Italian heavyweights Gucci and Versace featuring them heavily in their collections, the French houses of Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga weren’t without them and they were also used in New York see Marc by Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler and Diane Von Furstenberg above.
