This morning and afternoon we head to the tents and around the city in search of fall collections from designers. We will be providing round the clock coverage on Papierblog. You can look forward to our reviews, but more importantly the trends we are seeing for the fall.

Part 2 of this post addresses our new look. It may take sometime to get used to, but both Papierdoll and Papierblog both have a new look. We wanted to create a symbiotic relationship between our blog and magazine. When one gets updated with fashion content the other will as well, so you will be up to date with all great fashion content you’ve come to expect from Papierdoll and more. Enjoy our fashion week coverage.

But she makes you understand that if you could, she would be very supportive with her magazine. She really makes you understand that.”

Folks, that is measured and controlled speaking. Take note.
