day two was more sombre as designers showed mainly black with midnight, brunette do's and much less skin than usual.  lacroix's imminent departure from the haute couture world also loomed heavy, like the rain clouds in the dark, parisian sky.  suiting was everywhere (recycle your trophy jackets!!) - be it in skirt or trouser form - as were liquid-like paillette embellishments - on everything from jackets to gowns.  and not a leg remained uncovered by some form of sheer hose.  hello to chinese model qin shu pei on the chanel catwalk.  weren't her braids divine?  all photographs care of style.
