Karlie Kloss Makes Catwalk Return in Paris

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models, Rumors,

Karlie Kloss made her catwalk return during Paris Fashion Week yesterday.

The model - who skipped Milan, London and New York Fashion Week this year - took to the runway for Anthony Vaccarello, where she opened the show, and is set to also walk for Christian Dior, Lanvin and Jean Paul Gaultier.

According to Fashionista.com, Karlie had cancelled all Milan, London and New York Fashion Week appearances this year because she had planned to film a commercial in Japan but it fell through allowing her to take part in Paris Fashion Week. Karlie was joined on the runway by several other top names including Joan Smalls, Anja Rubik and Arizona Muse, while Kanye West was spotted in the front row.

The 19-year-old Chicago born model, however, admitted recently she was missing New York Fashion Week, tweeting, "No one is more bummed than me to be missing out on all of the#NYFW fun - sending all my love to NYC! Xx (sic)"

Victoria Beckham has been overwhelmed by the response to her new range of dresses.

The singer-turned-designer showcased her second collection for her Victoria, Victoria Beckham, line yesterday at New York Fashion Week and admits she is stunned at how popular the items have become.

The response has been quite breathtaking. I want to give my customer and the retailer what they want. It's still girly, it's still fun and it's still fresh and you can see the personality," said Victoria, who also has her high-end collection of dresses.

Last season's debut collection of the more affordable line has been seen on the likes of Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams and sold strongly at Harvey Nichols, Harrods and Net-a-Porter.

Her second offering featured clean lines, shifts shapes, pointed collars, cuffed sleeves and fun prints. "It's what I like to wear, it's the other side to my wardrobe," she said.

Zac Posen to Return to NYFW

Zac Posen is to return to New York Fashion Week. The US designer will show his Spring/Summer 2012 collection on September 11 at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, a year after moving to Paris to show his eponymous collection in the French capital.

"Paris is wonderful but it just feels like the right time to show in New York," said Zac, who still presented his Z Spoke by Zac Posen diffusion line in his hometown.

"For the Zac Posen Collection, I wanted to give a different voice and focus in the international fashion arena. Obviously, New York has been extremely supportive of me and the stars were aligned to base Z Spoke in my hometown. I have learned over the past 10 years to trust my instinct, to have fun with experimentation and to innovate. I do not see this choice as a focus on Europe, rather, it's about taking a risk, which is something that is important to do as a creator in order to evolve," he said at the time of his move to Paris.

Avril Lavigne to Show at NYFW

Avril Lavigne is to show at New York Fashion Week. The "Girlfriend" singer will showcase the latest collection for her Abbey Dawn clothing range at the prestigious event next month.

According to a press release, the event - which will take place on September 12 at the city's Style 360-Metropolitan Pavilion - will be "a high-energy runway fashion show." The ladies' line will include dresses, denim, skirts, footwear, handbags, wallets, purses and eyewear.

Earlier this year, Avril said her fashion tastes have grown more sophisticated over time. The "What The Hell" hitmaker used to be famed for her rock chick look, but has now started to wear dresses and heels as her style has matured over the years.

"When I was younger, I dressed skater and had that whole thing going on. But as I grew up, I eventually started wearing heels and dresses. Over time, fashion choices change. Now that I'm older and have a fashion line, I'm more into fashion. I like to dress with rock 'n' roll elements and be casual. I like jeans with rips and skulls, but now I wear more flattering pieces. I would never have worn heels or tight trousers before, or dresses. Today, though, I enjoy it. I've grown up."
