It's hard to start thinking about cold weather again, but with the amazing couture coats that have been coming down the catwalk it really makes you wish the mercury would drop a centigrade or two. I've always had a big obsession with coats - leather, trench, ski, men's wear inspired - but this year it looks like I'll be needing to add some VOLUME to my collection. These are a handful of my favorites that came down the runway this past week, and I must admit that as completely unpractical as it may be (hello, couture) I really need to get my steal myself the beautiful Ulyana Sergeenko jacket - it will be perfect if I ever decide to run off to the north pole! If you're looking for something that you can actually get some use out of but still look high fashion I'd cast my vote for Viktor & Rolf. What's your top coat pick from Paris?
