Paris Fashion Week started Tuesday, the last of the ‘bigs’ in the multi-city cycle showing clothes for fall-winter 2012. There were only a few shows on opening day, but they included model Karlie Kloss opening the Anthony Vaccarello show (where one model, shown here, stumbled and was helped by her peers) and a mime walking the runway at the Aganovich show.

Salvatore Ferragamo’s resort show this season will be the first runway show ever allowed inside the Louvre in Paris.
