In fact, he had them to thank for such a successful show, as the sisters inspired his fresh, modern take on the legendary brand. 12 of 21 Julianne Moore and Bart Freundlich Eric Ryan/Getty Images Julianne Moore and hubby Bart Freundlich took in the Yves Saint Laurent ready-to-wear show (along with Kanye West, Dita von Teese and Courtney Love) at the Grand Palais in Paris. The collection was shown in a huge tent hung with futuristic white awnings, on models with black, bowl-shaped wigs. 13 of 21 Chanel Guignebourg-Nebinger-Orban-Taamalah/Abaca Inside the Chanel show, models wearing the new Fall-Winter collection appeared (along with designer Karl lagerfeld) on a merry-go-round decorated with giant versions of signature Chanel accessories-quilted bags, strings of pearls, and hats. 14 of 21 Ginnifer Goodwin and Rebecca Romijn Eric Ryan/Getty Stylish small-screen stars Ginnifer Goodwin and Rebecca Romijn sat front row at the Valentino show held at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. Former Gucci designer Alessandra Fachinetti presented a debut collection that respectfully emulated the designs of recently retired master Valentino Garavani. "Elegance, femininity, that's what it is all about," she told reporters following the presentation. "The style of Valentino is the basis of my work, that cannot be changed. But the proportion is more updated." 15 of 21 Winona Ryder Eric Ryan/Getty Fashionable actress Winona Ryder admired the latest collection from the house of Valentino during Paris Fashion Week. The designs included romantic ruffled dresses with bright accents. Kanye West and fiance Alexis Phifer also took in the show. 16 of 21 Ali Larter and Eve KCSPresse/Splash TV divas Ali Larter and Eve dazzled in tailored coats at the Emanuel Ungaro show in Paris. The beautiful duo took in the debut collection by 23-year-old designer Esteban Cortazar. Did the wunderkind fear the challenge of taking over a major design house? Not at all. "I think the younger you are, the less pressure you feel," Cortazar told the AP. "It's definitely a challenge, but it's a fun challenge." 17 of 21 Lucy Liu and Monica Cruz Dominique Charriau/WireImage Lucy Liu sat front row with Monica Cruz at the Dior by John Galliano show in Paris. Both actresses have a keen eye for fine design: Cruz collaborates on a line of clothing for Mango with sister Penelope Cruz, and Liu has a solo art exhibition opening in Munich in May. "I've been painting since I was 18 and have grown quite fond of the arts," Liu told Fashion Week Daily. "Dior's clothes, in a way, are like art as well." 18 of 21 Roberto Cavalli Julien Hekimian/WireImage No one can say that Roberto Cavalli doesn't know how to have a good time-the designer, who showed his latest collection in Milan last week, made an entrance at the Crazy House burlesque club in Paris with a sextet of dancers. Cavalli celebrated the opening of his Parisian Just Cavalli boutique with guests such as Kanye West, Alexis Phifer, Vivica A. Fox and Dita Von Teese. 19 of 21 Alexis Phifer and Kanye West Fame Pictures Ghita designer Alexis Phifer and fiance Kanye West took in the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. The avant-garde collection, which included molded wool coats reading 'No' and 'Wow' perfectly embodied West's style philosophy. "Pop and luxury," he told Harper's Bazaar. "Everything about me is pop and luxury." 20 of 21 Lindsay Lohan and Fergie Venturelli/WireImage Fashion lovers Lindsay Lohan and Fergie looked absolutely G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S in the front row at the Dolce amp Gabbana show. The design duo presented a collection of western-inspired looks for Fall 2008.
