I screamed like a child my insides went wild

Some couturiers seem to have copped on to the fact that no-one can afford it anymore and have moved towards a more theatrical, creative collection. A 'no-one can afford to wear it so let's design stuff that no-one will wear' sort of attitude. Suits me grand. I love a good show. Although, I probably would wear all of it. Slave to fashion or wha. Others have reigned it in. Gone to basics and simple designs that aren't going to overwhelm anyone. To be honest, if I'm going to part with multiple grands, I'd need to be fairly overwhelmed.

Couture Fall 2010

Jean Paul Gaultier

What wouldn't you give to be Gaultiers muse. She looks like she has an incredible life. To me it's Catherine Baba, I could see her in all of this. I'm anti smoking and all, but god that looks cool. Choices of fabrics, everything about this is just aspirational and really sensational.

Armani Privé

So very, very..., Armani. Carmen Kass stood out so much. Apart from Karlie Kloss it's rare that I notice a model during the first flick through, but she looks fantastic. I think that also says a lot about the clothes, they're easily overlooked. Pretty and chic, but a little safe.

Chanel

I'd declare disgust over the boots but, I don't doubt, in a matter of hours I'll want a pair. That's the beauty of Chanel. The arms kind of remind me of Woody's from Toy Story, ya know where he gets stitched back up? Yeah... That red dress has Grace Coddington written all over it so keep an eye out for it on the pages of US Vogue.

Givenchy

The silhouettes are incredible. Possibly the most raved about collection of this season. I'm gonna be married in one of these babies, you'll see...you'll all see.

Elie Saab

A pretty dress is definitely his niche. Doesn't disappoint, not a trouser in sight. Some of them are breathtaking. Fairytale worthy.

  1. Great pics, they're all so amazing in different ways I can't pick a favorite.

    I do have to agree Dior, it's like wearable art.

  3. Elie Saab & Jean Paul Gaultier were just so so amazing, and I loved the makeup at Chanel. That early 90s- pale eye, dark lip, messy hair thing looks ripe for the picking... that'll be me this fall for sure! Nice blog. -xo
