Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013 Street Style: 41 shots of Kristen Stewart, Salma Hayek, Dree Hemingway and more! | Hollywood yohana

Kristen Stewart Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013
Today’s set of street style photos from Paris is equivalent to the fashion (and Twihard) jackpot. With major shows like Carven, Balenciaga, and Balmain going down, you know a fashionable crowd is going to show up and thankfully, our street style photographer Stefania Yarhi, was there to capture it all and do a little bit of stalking.
Stalking who? Oh you know, just Kristen Stewart, the most most buzzed about actress du jour (du year?). As the face of Balenciaga’s Florabotanica fragrance, it’s only natural that she sat front row in a yellow quilted leather jacket and floral printed pants accessorized with a petite smile (we repeat: petite). KStew’s been on a bit of a lockdown (minus this glittering appearance at on the red carpet at TIFF) since the whole cheating scandal so it’s nice to see her living her life and looking good while doing it.
Moving on… Kristen Stewart wasn’t the only actress to make an appearance in Paris, Salma Hayek was there with ombre hair and some oversized sunglasses, alongside her husband and PPR (that’s Balenciaga, Gucci, Stella and McQueen to you) president François Henri Pinault. Anna Dello Russo was spotted, like every other day of fashion month, in a Balmain turtleneck dress and there were, not one, but two Balenciaga sci-fi sweaters spotted.
The rest of the street style crowd was feeling graphic. Prints, logos, and embellishments were everywhere and adding a bit of fun to the streets of la gay Paris. There were a couple of Kenzo sweater sightings and ADR’s pal rocked the Carven skirt we saw Anna wear in Milan (perhaps borrowed?).

Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013: The top trends developing at Balenciaga, Balmain, Lanvin and more | Hollywood yohana

Balenciaga Balmain Spring 2013

We all know that fashion week is the breeding ground for creating trends, but when a trend becomes so obvious that it stops you in your tracks, you know its going to be important come next season. Need proof? Have a look back at yesterday’s shows from the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2013, specifically Balenciaga’s first look and Balmain’s second.
I am not saying there was any collusion or industrial espionage at play here. It’s no secret that designers all use the same trend forecasting services, which graphically outline directions, moods and themes for the season ahead. Inevitably there are going to be similarities that emerge, but what is interesting is to compare the interpretations of the folded crop tops worn with black high-waisted, pleated trousers.
At Balenciaga, Nicholas Ghesquiere’s snug bra and streamlined pant seemed tidier and more modern than Olivier Rousteing’s swaggering look for Balmain. And that probably makes sense given that the women these two designers are aiming for are quite distinct. Balenciaga fans are into form. The Balmain tribe is all about flash.
