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 [...]

I would like to be optimistic and declare that Giorgio Armani’s soul reason for this heavily Asian inspired collection is his involvement in the UNESCO foundation treating with the victims of the Japan earthquake. I think the overload of Japan inspiration from his latest Haute Couture show has more to do with the fact that [...]

Oh, my! Have I told you about Kirsten Dunst’s 2011 Met Gala dress? It was Anna Wintour’s sequined Chanel Couture which brought Kirsten’s gown to mind. Because, as opposed to Anna’s classic, toned down Chanel, Kirsten’s floral sequined Chanel Couture dress extravaganza was really strange to look at. Too sequined, too floral, too much! Kirsten, [...]

The legendary Vogue editor in chief was wearing a Chanel Haute Couture creation from the Spring 2011 collection. At first I was a bit distracted by the unusual (almost slouchy) [...]

Since the first second I laid my eyes on Blake Lively and her gown for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute 2011 Gala I felt the itchy need to talk about it. I refused to put it first, though, because it’s not really my kind of gown, but now I just can’t hold it [...]

She definitely deserves a place in the first three, however, Karolina Kurkova only comes in fourth in my preferences from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute 2011 Gala. Why? Simply because even though she’s stunning and completely in-tune with the night’s McQueen Savage Beauty theme, she chose to wear Jean Paul Gaultier. The black [...]

My second favorite of the night was Liv Tyler, who, much to my surprise, chose to not wear her usual Red Carpet designer – Stella McCartney. She opted instead for a gorgeous, theme – fitted dress from Givenchy! The Haute Couture Spring 2011 Givenchy collection was an extremely savage beautiful collection, if I may say [...]
