What are the cool kids wearing?

Today I helped Sasha look for shoes to wear with the fab navy dress she wore to my birthday party. She's going to a wedding and needs to "dress her up". After looking for a bit we came to the conclusion she just needs to go to the mall and try a bunch of shoes on (painful, yes).
Anyway, the point is she started off by asking me what's in for fall and it reminded me that I hadn't done my annual review of the fall shows. I'm not sure how I missed it since you all know I la la la LOOOOOOOOOVE Dior and Monsieur Galliano...so I decided better late than never.
Dior's 09 F/W RTW show was all about Paul Poiret - one of my favorite French arteeests from the 20s. The designs are very much reminiscent of Poiret's orientalism and PURPLE! LOVE PURPLE! I'm not sure who the makeup artist was for this show, but they nailed the Poiret girl look. Check it:
