day three served up a veritable mixed platter of clothing and opinions.  valentino, now in the hands of ex-accessory heads maria grazia chiuri and pier paolo piccioli,  presented a sum of black lace which appeared less interesting than the detail of its parts.  jean paul gaultier won for his creativity - there was something for every woman (peta-supporter or not) in his collection.  elie saab does not seem to be aware of his peers - karl lagerfeld staged an all-white production this january at the very same location whilst images of milanese francesco scognamiglio's ss09 bird eyes from last september came fluttering back.  some budding design contestants have been proud to tell heidi, michael and nina on project runway they simply do not pay attention to what other people are doing.  listen to the backlash and learn, my friends.  all photographs care of style.
