Paris Fashion Week is heating up and the next few days we will attend the fireworks of this long season.

A blazoned slew of talented designers on their first collections as creative directors for historical fashion houses, the runways have wiped our eyes off with gorgeousness.

Live streams and Instagram give us a pretty good idea of what it looks like sitting on first row.

velvet Mary Janes with tweed hot pants or an intricately embroidered cardinal red dress with pointy flats, seen at Dolce & Gabbana, show my point: elegant and graceful flats.

an opening look with flat riding boots like Marni says it all

crown + brocade + flat oxford wingtips set the mood for a bad Lanvin girl

Prada docet: mean punk booties + fur jacket and crocodile bag

The Olsen girls are the first ones to wear the collection which could be summed up as effortless chic, or as they described it “easy without being easy”
