PARIS—It’s not that everyone didn’t look lovely at the Academy Awards this weekend (and yes, red carpet season’s pretty much over), it’s just that we find ourselves wishing year after year that someone would take a risk. Like Simon Doonan said a few months ago, we’re still talking about Bjork’s swan dress because it was the last time anyone wore anything interesting. While swans might be too far a stretch after a year of ladylike Vuitton gowns and vintage Dior, what about throwing some prints into the mix? In Paris this afternoon, Marco Zanini showed a handful of surprisingly loud gowns, all of which were fancy enough for a red carpet, yet playful enough for a young starlet. Sandwiched in between his ultra seventies brocade bell-bottom suits, granny chic cardigans and tweed tights were bell skirted gowns printed with over-sized checks or tile-like squares. Sure, they’re not for everyone, but they’re a beautiful alternative for someone tired of the sparkle-meets-fishtail look.

Andrej Pejic just landed his first major beauty campaign, and his first leading film role may not be far behind. According to his Paris agent, the androgynous model recently met with French director Florence Dewavrin, who is developing a feature based on Honoré de Balzac’s Séraphita. The classic novel, which was published in 1834 and is set in Norway, tells the story of a beautiful androgynous youth who goes by the names of both Séraphitus and Séraphita. The youth serves as the object of affection for both a man who believes Séraphita to be a woman and a woman who believes Séraphitus to be a man — a role for Pejic if there ever was one.

Polka dots were made famous with Minnie Mouse’s red spotted dress and bow, and now the print is popping up everywhere, from the runways to the art galleries. Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, and Diane von Furstenberg are just a few of the many designers who went dotty in their fall/winter collections, and British artist Damien Hirst recently installed his series of spot paintings in all of the Gagosian galleries. This trend is very easy to wear—just one polka-dotted piece will pull together your look with spot-on style. Check out Taylor Swift (left) leaving Toast recently in L.A. The country singer looks chic and sophisticated in a polka dot Dolce & Gabbana dress. Swift opted for the classic black and white color combo, but the festive print comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. See spots this season with these polka dot pieces:
