Actor David Arquette enjoyed some coffee provided by Coffee Bean, a co sponsor of The Art of Elysium 2nd annual Genesis event. David also shared with us that he matched his duck print tie with his duck tattoo. He wanted us to take close up photos of his tie and tattoo as proof, since he knows we focus on fashion, but we had "technical difficulties." Next time David! Photo Credit: Style Seen Daily.

The catwalk for the 2009 autumn collection at Paris Fashion Week was a happy themed one. Models were smiling up and down the runway, something previously never really seen in Paris.   

Stella McCartney’s show was all smiles and full of supporters like her father, Sir Paul McCartney as well as her sister Mary both sat front row along with; Beth Ditto, Thandie Newton, Kanye West, Pink, Charlotte Casiraghi, Salma Hayek, and Francois-Henri Pinault.

McCartney showed delicate and beautiful cocktail dresses that put aside her typical sportier looks and let loose the “Stella Girl” as she put it. 

Also shown were jumpsuits, knit sweaters and elegant cocoon coats with skinny belts – everything well tailored and “grown up” while maintaining the style she is known for which is simply and easy going unfussy style with sex appeal.

McCartney mentioned backstage that she liked to take things apart and then put them together again, as a result she used spliced tulle and silk as well as black lace floating down arms which was actually an illusion of sleeves.

McCartney proves that you can make desirable fashion while maintaining your ethics as a strict vegetarian, such as herself.

Stella’s refusals to work with leather and furs have previously been rumored to hinder the style of her shoes and bags – this year she turns that around – if it was ever even true. Her new collection has knee high boots in faux leather and knitted silk. Stella has succeeded in creating must have items that even PETA will approve of wearing.  She has also rose above the previous gossip that she was “just a pop star’s kid” and developed real design chops and respect sans dear old dad.
