We have the good fortune of reviewing the main Ralph Lauren collection every season, but this year we also got an inside peek to the Lauren Ralph Lauren label when former Senior Fashion Editor Sarah Cristobal narrated the Spring 2011 virtual runway show. The safari-themed show carried the right amount of cross-over appeal to customers who are looking to up the style ante without breaking the bank.

The show included everything from khaki blazers and shirt dresses to boldly striped blanket cardigans and flouncy eveningwear. Accessories were modest but impactful, with models' waists cinched with wide braided belts, and they also were adorned with classic tote bags, chic open-toe sandals, and complementary gold hoops and wooden bangles.

The new collection video is live on Lauren Ralph Lauren today. Watch it with the full roster of fellow editors from Glamour, FabSugar, and Lucky - or view our own personalized StyleList version here.

Happy shopping!

Paris Fashion Week ended Wednesday, bringing the Fall 2011 season to a close. Much went down over the course of the European collections. Between the John Galliano public scandal and all its aftershocks, Balmain designer Cristophe Decarnin's rumored breakdown and hospitalization, Lady Gaga mania, the ubiquitous Kanye sightings and whisperings of who will helm Dior next, Twitter was ablaze with topics to discuss. But not lost during all the hubbub was the clothing itself: some of the strongest shows of the season came out of the City of Light.

During the past week we saw the sexy peekaboo theme that began in New York develop into a full-blown S&M pandemic. This was most prominent at Givenchy, where designer Riccardo Tisci showed sheer organza tops over patent leather bras. Similarly, Alexander McQueen and Mugler featured leather dominatrix-style halters.

Two lesser-known but enormous talents, Rick Owens and Haider Ackermann, continued with the long, lean silhouettes that they have both always done so well, and that have been so prominent throughout many of the other Fall collections. Owens added a phenomenal ankle-grazing cape to his repertoire, and Ackermann defined the waist and the shoulder every which way, to great effect.

Over at Lanvin, Alber Elbaz sent out an army of light-as-air, sorbet-hued dresses that made you want to dive right in. And Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere showed an ahead-of-the-curve collection that will surely shape what comes down the runways next season.

But without further ado, please take a look for yourself.

When the world's top stylemakers gathered in the City of Light for Paris Fall 2011 Fashion Week, the emphasis wasn't simply on the clothes. There were also a myriad of noteworthy beauty looks -- from the most glamorous to the utterly outrageous -- hitting the runways.

From the ghostly faces populating the catwalk at Alexander McQueen to the voluminous manes of Zuhair Murad, StyleList takes stock of the most intriguing hair and makeup from Paris.
