"Our obsession with the Gossip Girl wardrobe is reaching new heights this season, as the girls flit around Paris in to-die-for couture gowns and cute and quirky ensembles that you&amp;#x27;d have to be a.) A French girl or b.) Blair Waldorf to pull off. So when we ran into the show&amp;#x27;s stylist, Eric Daman, at last night&amp;#x27;s Mulberry party, we just had to ask what we can expect next season... My first question for Eric: Are there any pieces you&amp;#x27;ve seen on the runways over the past few days that you&amp;#x27;re just dying to dress the cast in? &amp;quot;I loved the Jenny Packham show,&amp;quot; he told me. &amp;quot;The gowns, I mean! We have so many scenes where we need gowns, so it&amp;#x27;s just so perfect. They did couture daywear for Blair, couture eveningwear for Serena, and I&amp;#x27;m just loving it all.&amp;quot; The designer is no stranger to the show--Serena will wear a Jenny Packham dress on the upcoming Fashion&amp;#x27;s Night Out-themed episode--but the spring 2011 collection (above) looks like it&amp;#x27;s even more GG-approved! I also asked about the wardrobe for the Paris episodes, which I&amp;#x27;m bonafide obsessed with. Eric told me his team took 15 trunks with them to Europe (15!!), all piled high with gorgeous gowns and sexy party dresses. I asked what his inspiration was for the overseas scenes, and he told me, &amp;quot;I wanted it to be like higher high fashion. I wanted it to be like Gossip Girl couture, and just take it to the next level. I wanted the girls to look sparkly and amazing and just a little more over the top than usual--a fashion free for all! We treated the characters as who they were, but just taken up a notch.&amp;quot; And finally, we talked about Blake Lively&amp;#x27;s personal style, off-camera, which has caused quite a stir over the past year. &amp;quot;She has the hottest body ever,&amp;quot; he said, &amp;quot;so she can totally pull off some really sexy looks. She just gets it. She loves fashion, and it shows. Some people say I&amp;#x27;ve kind of been her fashion professor, and if that&amp;#x27;s true, I&amp;#x27;m really proud!&amp;quot; So...what do you dolls think of Eric&amp;#x27;s pick for the next must-have collection to be seen on Gossip Girl? Are you excited to watch for these dresses to show up on-air? And are you as into the fashion in the Paris episodes as I am? Discuss!
