More Couture

I was a little hesistant with Chanel. The collection didn't really do a lot for me, especially with the way they put some of their outfits together. The tights were my main issue - they just ruined some of the looks completely. There were two dresses that stood out positively for me though so I shall share them.

Jean Paul Gaultier went glamorous and edgy. There was a mix of themes with twenties style sequins and fur, futuristic body-suits and gothic dresses. I love the two body suits here - Such a feminine shape.

All welcome Alexis

Alexis Mabille is still new on the Paris couture scene. His recent collection for Fall '09 isn't what I would usually go to couture for - I'm all about the drama - but the pretty colour pallete and floaty fabrics are still oh so dreamy. I'm having a major crush on pastel blue lately, which is probably working in his favour for me.

And here's some of my favourites from his previous couture shows.

Even the menswear is adorable - So Chuck Bass! I love the multiple bow shirt.

Nothing can make my (dull) day more than admiring the new couture collections. Galliano has made me proud once again with his use of vivid colour and a bit of cheeky, vampy-ness.

Here are some of my favourites from the Dior show.

There's some really beautiful skirts in there, and the last two dresses are to die for. I truely hope that Galliano will make my wedding dress. Dream big...

A strange observation to make, but his use of the colour yellow is making me crave for some yellow peices, the pale tulle skirt in particular.

Note how 'Bras as tops' is also still going strong.

More to come on Fall '09 Couture!

Ps. Does anyone know who styles the Dior shows? Or is it allll Galliano?
