Haute Couture SS06 I

Wow the haute couture shows are upon us again! Looking at the new batch of beautiful creations, I have found more motivation to slave away studying for that funny pointy shape with a line across it like a canoe head known fondly to students as a "A."

Armani Prive

The Armani show was.. . very Armani. Like you just glance at the picture and immediately tell its Armani. Sleek, feminine, sophisticated. . what more do I need to say?


When I become the high power business woman that I am grooming to be, this will be part of my business wardrobe.

And aren't these two gorgeous? The black one is interesting, sexy but not trashy. And the white one is just oh-so-classical. There's something like this on the red carpet every year. I wonder who we will be seeing in this one?


And I like the starry midnight theme this one has going for it. But that pointy thing at the hips just looks really weird and uncomfortable. . .

Valentino
Unlike the Armani, the Valentino show wasn't quite as Valentino as one would expect. Lines were softer, more flowy but still very elegant.



And while we're ordering my future power woman wardrobe, please throw in these two for variety. I love how the collars are different and the whole outfit looks so comfortable (esp the beige one) as if she'd been wearing it all day.

And of course Valentino's evening wear is as elegant and gorgeous as ever. I adore the ballerina styled one, cause it looks so much fun. And the long white one is just the epitome of Valentino.

This red one is just somehow not very flattering.

Christian Dior

I like to think that when it comes to the appreciation of fashion/art, I have an open eye. But however way I look at this collection, I cannot comprehend it. Admittedly the craftmanship put into this collection is nothing short of genius. But frankly, I'm just scared. Please do not let me see any of this in real life-especially in the dark!

We are the scary masked cult out to get you. . .

Not even the symbol of the church will save you from getting your head dislocated by us.


Another night's work well done. Time to go back to the headquarters to show off my bloody cloak.

BOO!

  2. That red Valentino one really isn't flattering at all! It looks liKe the model is at least a size 14 (UK), but I bet she's really just a normal model, but it could be worse for her - she could have got booked by Dior!

  3. Well, I always love the couture shows, and i do agree that the armani show was fantastic. Considering how new he is to Haute Couture, I am really excited to see what he will be doing with it in the years to come. I thought the Dior show was fantastic though. A lot of the couture shows are begining to turn away from the 'fashion as art' feeling, but Galliano puts on a true performance over and over.

  8. i think the armani show was boring...all those suits n just minimal dresses. plus, weird philip treacy-esque hats. but i think the dior one was really intriging because honestly speaking, this is something of what fashion and the fashion industry really is; clothes made in undeveloped countries using child labor and long hours, chemicals used to dye them into vibrant creations that inevitably end up poisoning and killing the environment and people who live in the area. the cross just seems to reiterate that most of the people who enjoy the spoils of these acts are Christian, or claim to be. such things are not always privy to the public, and this show seems to give us a much needed look into the real 'world of fashion'. and that turn john galliano took at the end of the show just about kills the whole message.

  9. I think the DIOR show was great- a bit scary, but none the less genius as are Galliano's other couture shows for CD, they are all huge productions, themed and over the top. I like the inspiration for this, marie antoinette, all the fake blood, large gowns, excess fabric, all in all I enjoyed it.

  10. The Dior show was really something new in the fashion industry, the clothes really made a statement with the theming colors of red. I disliked the makeup since it looked so ghostly against the reds, but the setting is gorgeous. The runway and red drapes, lovely.
