39 Spring Paris Fashion Week Collections

From Rippling Veiled Fashions to Pearl Covered Looks

— October 7, 2011 — Fashion
Paris is often described as the fashion capital of the world, and this list of Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week collections demonstrates exactly why the city has earned the title.

Besides the fact that Paris is home to some of the most well-known and prestigious designers in the world, it often seems that Parisian designers take the most risks on the runway. After all, isn't that what fashion is all about? From Dior to Lanvin to Chanel, this list of Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week collections is truly stunning.

Perhaps the reason that Paris Fashion Week is the longest (a remarkable 10 days) and last out of the four fashion capitals (the first being New York, London, and Milan) is due to the fact that the fashion world really wants to go out with a bang.

You'll see the undeniable truth behind that statement by clicking through this list of Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week collections.
