RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Atelier Versace A/W 2013

SUPER Diva Naomi Campbell opens the Atelier Versace Fall/Winter 2013/2014 runway show

The Look: First off, the one-and-only Naomi Campbell opened the Atelier Versace Fall/Winter 2013/2014 runway show in Paris on Sunday--marking the official start of Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. She slinked down the runway with a jacket (barely) held together by crystal hooks and eyes--a main detail used throughout this collection designed by Donatella Versace and her design team.

Speaking of barely held together, this was also a running theme of this collection, one that she said was inspired by 1930's black and white fashion photography--such as the iconic Horst P.

The garments--all made of the most luxurious fabrications, such as croq skin, knitted mink, sequined lace, shredded tulle (these garments can cost $100,00+ if you were to order them)--showed various stages of "undress", as if they were peeling off the body, with lots of skin and intricate lace undergarments poking through. And the final gowns were very red carpet perfect for Donatella's girls like Uma and Angelina (lots of high slits darling!). Here are some highlights:
