Make way for the return of gorgeous, glamorous supermodels!
"And God Created Women" announced the program for designer Marc Jacob's Fall 2010 show for Louis Vuitton, where iconic supermodels of all ages and voluptuous Victoria's Secret Angels paraded retro sexy clothes around the courtyard fountain at the Louvre.
Miuccia Prada first broached the comeback of the curvy silhouette earlier in the season in Milan and now it was Marc Jacobs turn, with an ode to the retro Mad Men style of dress, but with a charming French accent.
Laetitia Casta opened the show in a full-skirted '50s dress with d???colletage aplenty, followed by Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lara Stone, and Bar Refaeli in ladylike looks, like petticoats, waist-cinching tweeds and innocent floral frocks.
Adriana Lima's first big fashion job since giving birth had her thinking about her little bundle of job. "Valentina is doing wonderful," she smiled.
"It's still a mental shock to be part of the Vuitton show just months after nursing my baby.
But it's nice for someone to spoil you with hair and make-up once in a while!
The supermodels were joined on the runway by some of the industry's biggest names including Coco Rocha, Jessica Stam and Lily Donaldson. For the finale, Elle Macpherson, 47, made a rare appearance stealing the show in a glamorous rose-colored crinoline gown with corseted bustier, which looked amazing on her hourglass figure.
"My life really revolves around my business these days, but Marc called me and told that he was doing this story about creation of the woman and I was just intrigued," Macpherson said.
"But I'm not only here to support him, but also the concept that all women are full of elegance and grace.
That's such a big part of who I am! And now I have to call my kids.
Models strutted around the Louvre's 16-jet dancing fountains to the theme music from the Fifties French film And God Created Woman.
Sweet and sensual at the same time, Marc Jacobs embraced voluptuousness and the 1950s sex kitten focusing on the bosom, thrusting upwards from corseted dresses and nip-waisted jackets.
Bouncing ponytails, each decorated with bows and velvet ribbon belts, added a playful ladylike elegance to the retro ensembles while each model carried a variation on the classic Speedy bag paired with elbow-length leather gloves, and kitten heels adorned with bows.
And there were familiar faces both on and off the catwalk, as bright stars Natalia Vodianova, Alexa Chung, Margherita Missoni, Daisy Lowe and Pixie Geldof watched the supermodels walk the runway.
"I'm so emotional after this," said an overwhelmed Lowe. "I think I broke down in tears ten times over the course of the show.
Jacobs explained how his aim had been to create a collection that appealed to a wider market saying, "Designers are always saying they're going to do a collection for women, but then every girl on the runway is under twenty.
"I wanted to do something that really contrasted the last season," said Jacobs.
"So this was really all about the essential beauty, unrivaled femininity and just a celebration of very beautiful and wonderful women.
Over the course of my career, I've worked with all of these girls, and even someone like Elle walked in my show 20 years ago." British Vogue called the show 'ravishing' adding it was 'truly a celebration of womanhood, the full skirts were caught into a triple pleat over the back to make even [model Karolina] Kurkova look buxom, while breasts were spilling over the top of dresses that, but for that unmissable detail, were demure, with high beribboned waists.' WWD wasn't so keen on the collection saying, "It was a captivating atmosphere... the whole production had a grand retro cinematic air and clothes to match, which was a problem.
"If the fit-and-flare silhouette celebrated womanly beauty, it also showed how dated and unrealistic the look is now. While it was all luxuriously crafted, the weighty fabrics, skirt lengths and volumes managed to turn the world's biggest sexpots into dowdy matrons at times.
Style.com said, "This was one fashion show heterosexual men are going to understand.
Breast-wise, it put it all on a plate-or rather a corseted, cantilevered, frill-edged balcony.
"If there was little to zero variety in silhouette-and the dirndl-esque petticoated skirt can't be for the many-the items and trimmings exemplified the Vuitton knack for classy detail, as in fur buttons and collars and glittery heels.
Meanwhile, Elle said, "Cleavage was on full display thanks to Marilyn Monroe-esque corset dresses with full swinging skirts.
I loved seeing curvier models on the catwalk."
