Fashion week arrives in Paris
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Young knitwear designer and Rick Owens alumnus Alice Lemoine emerged from the shadows of her former mentor to produce an unassuming but highly accomplished show in rich spring colors.
So it's perhaps fitting that the spring-summer 2013 season got going behind a giant clock: the iconic timekeeper of Paris' grand Gare de l'East train station. The setting may have been grand but the shows on the first day in Paris are often low-key, a showcase for emerging talent.
Paris — the last city after New York, London and Milan to host shows — is offering up 95 frenetic catwalk spectacles back-to-back over eight days at opposite ends of the French capital.
Belgian-born designer Anthony Vaccarella, whose star has been on a rise since Gwyneth Paltrow graced the cover of Harper's Bazaar in one of his dresses, delivered a slick and revealing show Tuesday, channeling black and white in an unusual summer collection.
South Korean designer
Moon Young Hee also throw
away the color wheel to produce a sophisticated, demure show, with Impasse de la Defense mixed bold colors with retro and street styles.
PARIS — Fashion week in Paris is always a race against time.
Post-punk design house Impasse de la Defense, tucked away behind the clock of the Gare de l'East, got extra street creed as loud train announcements punctuated their colorful show.
Their eclectic and contemporary mix included vibrant patchwork dresses, outre tulle bridal skirts and large shawls printed with images of clock architecture. Their soundtrack — a single harmonica played by a man who looked like a busker — added a dash of boho insuciance to the many the casual, loose-fitting, splash-dyed dresses.
Wednesday's shows will include London's infant terrible Gareth Pugh, Guy Laroche and Dries Van Noten.
IMPASSE DE LA DEFENSE
Designer Karim Bonnet said he was channeling German street style after a holiday there last summer, but at times the clock seemed to turn to '70s flower power. The imaginative prints of cameras and the spines of novels on large shawls were a notable success.

'Midget Wrestling' takes over Granada
EMMA LEGAULT elegault@kansan.com
Anyone entering The Granada theater tonight may think they've found themselves in the middle of an ordinary wrestling bout. Bright lights, ringside seating, deafening cheers — and dwarves?
Dubbed "the baddest little show on Earth" by the header on their website, the Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation promises to be "one of the most entertaining, outrageous and unique shows out today."
The owner of the Granada, Mike Logan, said this will draw the crowds.
"It's like nothing we have on our concert calendar," he said. "You just don't see stuff like this every day."
The Granada hosted the event last September, and Logan said it last sold out. This year, the "Extreme Midget Wrestling" Facebook event caught the eye of Lucy Edmonds and her friends.
Edmonds, a freshman from Kansas City, said she is excited about attending and stepping a little out of her comfort zone.

"I'm not really involved with anything that has to do with wrestling or midgets, but it just sounded like a fun time and a good excuse to not do my homework," Edmons said. "I'm always trying to find fun or weird things to do that I wouldn't normally know about, so this fit me perfectly."
The show comes complete with a ring announcer, an emcee and a DJ. The feature wrestlers this year include "Nasty Boy," "Lil Rampage," "Kid Jay," "Lil Show," "Lil Fabio," "J Mazing," "J Money," "Baby Jesus."
Reynold Six, a senior from Nashua, N. H., was one of the spectators last year. He and a friend heard about it and decided to get tickets.
Logan said the ring will be moved up to the stage to improve the audience's vantage point. The balcony has also been expanded.
"We wanted to see if they would be real wrestlers or like, backyard wrestling," he said. "We were surprised that it was a smaller ring."
The Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation is coming to The Granada at 8 p.m. tonight. Witness "the baddest little show on Earth" complete with an emcee and ring announcer.
and "Lil' Eddie," just to name a few.
"It's a genuinely good time. The wrestlers get the crowd involved and have a lot of fun," Logan said. "They like the ladies."
"[Lil' Rampage] raps and does like, a sex show on them. They bring two girls up on stage and do a dance with them," he said.
Six said the audience involvement was one of the most memorable parts of the show last year.
According to Six, the wrestling doesn't disappoint. He was impressed with the intensity of the competition last year. However, in the future, he said, he would want
to see female dwarf wrestlers added to the show.
Tickets are $10 for general admission and $20 for ringside seating, which is limited. There is no service charge for tickets bought at the box office.
"For 10 dollars, it is some realdeal entertainment that you are definitely not going to see very often." Logan said.
The event is open to those 18 and older. Doors open at 8 p.m.

Britain buys Warhol portraits for collection
LONDON — Britain's Royal Collection Trust has gone Pop Art with the purchase of four famous Andy Warhol portraits of Queen Elizabeth II.
The exhibit will be open to people who visit Windsor Castle, which is roughly 20 miles west of London. It will run until June 2013.
They will form part of the Portraits of a Monarch exhibit starting in November at Windsor Castle. The purchase was announced Monday, but royal officials refused to say how much was paid for the portraits.
The colorful screenprints are based on a photograph of the queen wearing a tiara and necklace that was used during her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977.
