While it comes as no surprise that the final leg on this fashion tour showed some of the best—if not the best—fashion of the season, this spring brought forth so much more than just its A-game. This season was all about reinvention, and we’re not just talking about Givenchy‘s newly minted lineup or Kim Kardashian‘s blonde ‘do. The type of change Paris displayed was truly inspiring and was felt throughout the entire fashion industry. Take, for instance, Kenzo‘s model lineup, which was one of the most diverse seen in Europe. And then there were the fashions, which spanned from glitzy disco 70s-inspired to sleek and modern. Though Spring 2014 delivered more than its fair share of ooh-la-la moments, not everyone saw eye to eye this time around. From the good to the meh, check out how the collections ranked according to fashion’s Twitterati.
