There have been some wild and crazy, yet fantastical and marvelous hair creations found on the runways in Paris this season, from odd colors to morphed shapes and ornate head pieces. Below are some of my favorites, that definitely will be hard to forget (and duplicate at home):

Mr. Burrows is back! The collection for fall 2009, dubbed “Bankable Burrows” smartly captured the items that will lead women into future cold-weather seasons with ease, getting the most bang for their buck with quality investment pieces in the form of capes, unique prints, and well-tailored pants and skirts. To turn a blind eye to the current state of affairs would have one hearing the sound of cash registers ringing up sales even less frequently; Burrows understands the value of a solid, salable collection, yet doesn’t let it restrict his creativity or panache. The looks, complimented by Christian Louboutin leapard booties and Robert Lee Morris jewelry prove that classic design with a bit of a twist never goes out of style.

Without a doubt, Fashion Pulse Daily absolutely loves Justin Giunta and his Subversive Jewelry line — we really cannot get enough of it! So we were thrilled to learn that Justin’s designs were found on the runway this season at the J.Mendel, Rachel Roy, and Trovata shows. We almost felt bad for the designers, as the fabulous jewelry stole the show every time! Subversive jewelry can truly be seen as unique statement pieces that trumps everything else that the wearer may have on — which in a way makes dressing minimalist a breeze — just through on a piece of Subversive to spice things up! We also took a closer look at the upcoming “Hard Twines” collection from Subversive, coming for Fall 2009. The collection is composed of silk and twine cording, hand-painted crystals, and rhinestone embellishments that lends it a sturdy backbone for the amazing shapes and materials used. See below for a sneak peak and some of our favorites for the collection!

What if working in fashion was always as frenetic as fashion week? I would have to say “no thanks” in that case!
Here they are — the day 5 show reviews — it was a busy one!
Marc by Marc Jacobs:
Not surpsigingly it was an 80s-inspired collection, complete with oversized hipster eyeglasses, Buster Brown hats, colorful scarves, and great bags.
ChoCheng:
Colorful riding coats and pastel satin gowns strongly pervaded Cho Cheng’s debut at fashion week.
MaxAzria:
Darker than the BCBG collection, the signature line featured sculptural jackets, deconstructed tunics, leather and metallics that stated it’s time to think about the future of fashion.
Domenico Vacca:
Very Italian suits, sexy cuts, and visible applique lent its way to making a strong showing in the tents; fashion Italian style still rules!
Rodarte:
True to form, the Rodarte sisters expiremented with a mixture of inspirations, resulting in a distinctive, hand-crafted, yet couture aesthetic.
G Star:
Leathers, buckles, and creamy shades of grey invaded the G Star runway at Hammerstein ballroom; we only wish those drop-crotch pants weren’t so drop crotch — I have a feeling they would make me look even shorter than I already am!
Tibi:
Prints to covet, in silhouettes to love seemed to be Amy Smilovic’s moto for the fall 2009 collection. 
Narciso Rodriquez:
A bit sombre, however signature Narciso sleekness prevailed; no wonder the First Lady prefers his collection! Loved the peachy pink dresses; definitely the highlight of the collection (let’s try not to think about the weird head gear, shall we?)
