PARIS: Fashion has its fair share of personalities as seen in Tuesday’s high-octane Paris haute couture shows.

Kim Kardashian nearly caused cars to crash when she arrived late to one show, while Chanel’s front man Karl Lagerfeld proved that he doesn’t just design couture dreams, he also speaks politics.

She’s been around Paris in recent days, snapped with her partner rapper Kanye West at Versailles Palace, once the seat of French monarchy. Now Kim Kardashian has hit Paris couture week, holding court herself in the front row of the Stephane Rolland show.

The reality star wore a flowing ivory cashmere couture coat and satin pearl-gray pants by the French designer and sported blond highlights.

Although she arrived without West, who was seen last week at Givenchy, and refused to speak to the press, her arrival triggered a media storm, with photographers pushing each other and shouting angrily to get a clear shot.
