As 6pm on Friday neared, I was so excited to leave work and finally be able to enjoy a bit of Paris Fashion Week! So I headed over to the Rive Gauche, to La Halle Freyssinet in the 13th arrondissement of Paris to celeb spot, street style snap and watch the Sonia Rykiel Autumn Winter 2013 show.

What a great experience and to watch such a great designer! We managed to bag ourselves some perfect standing places right in the middle of the catwalk behind the sitting spectators thus having a 360° view of the show!
The Rykiel AW13 collection was fantastic {as expected} with some also very interesting pieces. The collection was presented in simple shades of navy, pink, lilac and sky blue with very little patterns until the end parade. We saw big buttons on double-breasted cardigans and jackets, knee-high socks and leg warmers followed by printed shirt dresses, saucy fluffy shoes and see-through dresses that looked like they should maybe belong in the lingerie section {?!} and black leather, dresses, coats and capes {a no no for me to be honest!}.
The second half of the show featured fluffy patterned jumpers contrasting with red and black leather trousers. Yet, the most interesting designs of the night for me were the dark, plain knits that featured strips of pink furry material covering women's private parts giving a very fashionable cheeky edge to the collection.
