2011 fashion trend in paris

Miu

• There was a spirit of flamboyance throughout where couture-like silhouettes (think cocooning dresses at Stella McCartney, low-waisted coats at YSL and dolman sleeve jackets at Louis Vuitton), luxurious fabrics and layers of texture finally ousted the spirit of austerity and utility that has carried trends for so long.
• It's time to think of investment pieces - Hermès' quilted duvet coat or Balenciaga's handknitted leather jacket.
• There is a new enthusiasm for chic fetish - see Givenchy's transparent peek-a-boo skirts and Louis Vuitton's collars, cuffs and caps. 
• Hemlines note are definitely longer ­ although that mid-calf length is going to take some getting used to.
• Get yourself a black trousers suit à la Chanel or a long-sleeved sheath dress like Celine's.
