Spectacular! Each and every one of Riccardo Tisci’s models from the Spring 2012 Givenchy Couture collection was breathtakingly beautiful! The sartorial exploits, the details on the dresses, the fabrics he used, it was all very powerful, very creative, very Haute Couture! The exaggerated jewelry pieces add to the general drama of the collection’s individual pieces, [...]

Blue. Pockets. Blue. Punk Hair. Chanel Couture Spring 2012 wasn’t all that complicated. Was it? Using an interesting setting – the interior of a commercial flight plane (what else for an “out of the blue” collection?), Karl Lagerfeld presented his last Haute Couture sartorial achievement to the fashworld. In a very Chanel style, he also [...]

It’s really hard to believe fashion designers ignore the endless marketing possibilities The Red Carpet represents. With that in mind, Giorgio Armani worked his usual haute couture magic and spawned a reptilian Spring 2012 Armani Prive Couture collection. It’s all in the sparkle, in the snakeskin’s cold and exotic beauty. And we all know someone [...]

The continuous mystery of Christian Dior’s creative succession hasn’t been cleared out yet. Heavily missing John Galliano’s fresh approach and effervescent perspective, there goes another collection signed by Bill Gayten.

It’s a glamorous spin on Thierry Mugler’s edgy corseted looks, all in keeping true to Spring’s colors. It’s hard to imagine these looks won’t make it to the Red Carpet as they look [...]

Another favorite of mine for the evening was Nicole Kidman. Her soft blue Elie Saab dress was a custom made one, basically one of the models from the Fall 2010 Couture collection reworked especially for Nicole. She’s wearing it gracefully, pairing it with a beautiful smile and a great attitude, I wish I could’ve seen [...]

And that, my lovelies, is why I love Haute Couture! There’s nothing like it! The theatrical value of the sartorial creations and the immense amounts of time and work invested in those outrageously beautiful haute couture creations is just… leaving me speechless. Breathless. Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy Fall Winter 2011 2012 Haute Couture Fashion show revolved [...]

So there we go: Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2011. Sans Galliano. It’s like a lifeless mannequin parading up and down the catwalk, with no music, no sparkle, nothing. I’m not trying to diminish the importance of Galliano’s defamatory declarations, I’m just trying to say that this Dior Haute Couture collection was strange. With a [...]
