Sixteen-year-old fashion-phile--and former Phillip Lim super intern--Colby Jordan hits the shows running. Here's the story of her first day in Paris.\n\nMONDAY\n\n Backstage at Giambattista Valli\n\nAt the Tuileries Palace\n\n My favorite look from YSL\n\nMy mom attends the Paris shows each season, and this time around I convinced her to take me along! We arrive in the city of lights at 8am, only to get whisked away to our hotel for a quick change and a car ride to the Tuileries.\n\n My first show of the Paris season is Giambattista Valli, and what a show to begin on! Models stomp down the catwalk in everything from swing coats to gowns made of beautiful fabrics adorned with gems and peacock feathers. After a quick hello to Giambattista backstage following the show (he's one of my fashion idols!), we're off to a quick lunch at the Ritz.\n\nAs my mom and I are rehashing our first Paris experience over yummy salads, the adrenaline kicks in once again when the one and only Anna Wintour walks though the door and is seated a mere four feet behind me... Ahhhhhh!! Soon after approaching her table to be greeted by a pleasant and very kind Ms. Wintour, I manage to hold my own for about a minute of conversation before the nerves kick into overdrive and I slipped out unharmed. Mission complete!\n\nOur second show of the day is YSL. Designer Stefano Pilati manages, once again, to produce perfection with his masculine, streamlined take on womenswear. My favorite look of the collection is a black leather bomber jacket with silver rings attached to the collar and a matching leather skirt.\n\nThe day ends as perfectly as it began: dinner after the YSL show with friends, then a long awaited good night's sleep."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
