On the heels of Toronto Fashion Week, FashionTelevisionChannel presents the latest styles and designers from the heart of the fashion world, in Paris Trends, premiering Friday, November 2nd at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

From childhood dreams to couture runways, this thirty-minute special documents the journeys of seven must-know designers and how their visions have become the most sought after pieces in Parisian Couture.

Soon to become household names the world over, Christophe Lemaire, Veroniqué Leroy, Vanessa Bruno, Isabel Marant, Veroniqué Branquinho, Anne Valené Hush and the duo AF Vandevorst present their latest creations in a spectacular outdoor fashion show. From earthy inspired knits and layers, to futuristic takes on furs and mesh, the Parisian sky is the limit for Fall/Winter 2007/2008 fashions.

See how their creations are received as respected industry insiders share their views on France’s latest fashion offerings.
