On day two of Paris Fashion Week, Dries Van Noten paired plaids and florals together, and did so brilliantly. A sort of softer grunge was exhibited in this collection, with the mash up of two patterns normally reserved for opposite seasons. Van Noten used nontraditional fabrics such as taffeta, lamé, and organza for the plaids to make them appear more luxurious and lightweight than the typical wool or flannel reserved for the cold-weather print.

Milano Fashion Week, Day 2
Today, two of Milan's biggest fashion houses, Prada and Emporio Armani, each had a very young vibe on the runway, with a nod to the 90's (cue Prada's giant flower motif and high platform sandals and Emporio Armani's very Clueless-esque plaid mini skirt/short suits). However, this did not mean there weren't modern elements in each collection. For example, Emporio Armani featured a blown-up pixilated print on shorts, dresses, and blouses.
