2009 fashion week at different places especially on the fashion capitals was exciting. Though traditional belief says that fashion is youth-obsessed, the fashion weeks this year wronged the age old myth.

Let us take a look at the grand fashion weeks of London, Paris and New York.

Paris Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week showcases the silhouette that is going to define the 21st century fashion trends. Paris has always gained the first position whenever a comparison took place among New York, Paris, London and Milan and the style adapted by the French designers perfectly justifies the position of City of Lights.

The designers once again successfully merged pageantry and artistry. In spite of drawing inspiration from every field they remained precise in the move they make. The perfect cut and tailoring of the designer wears were real treat to eyes leaving the audience spell bound.

The feathered visors of Givenchy, the furry motorcycle helmets of Karl Lagerfeld, the wooden birdhouse and golden bananas on the model's heads designed by Bernhard Wilhelm all contributed to the making of Paris Fashion Week a grand success. Comme des Garcons, Maison Martin Margiela and Gaspard Yurkievich took the event one step ahead.
