lacy and nude

christian lacroix couture s09 via wwd

may i say how surprised i am by how much i like this collection?

it's scale may be much different than usual...and while i suppose there is nothing particularly challenging about it, there are some lovely things happening in it.

(i am DYING over the nude patterned tights and nude shoes. dying.)

crimped hair

christian dior couture s09 via wwd


this collection wasn't quite as striking as some of the others to me
(not that it isn't easy on the eyes)

but i do very much like ::
> the color palette (blues and reds are so beautiful together)
> the careful pleating and interesting volumes
> that red skirt!!!
> and the attention to the inside of the dress' skirts...

(i don't want couture to die...)

margiela artisanal s09 via wwd

mr margiela took the most common materials and turned them into structured and beautiful pieces (the paper towel jacket...)

he never fails to impress.

but givenchy

power suit much?

(my favorite)

givenchy s09 couture via fashionologie

even better.

the chains and satin and feathers shoulders and sheer and
even a world of flowers
(just a little more corpse than karl's)

...and the addition of lavender to the creams and whites is beautiful

karl,
