We're Cool

Valentino's Spring 2011 Couture show reminds me of the cool sister to Elie Saab's collection. You know, the one who's a bit off, but looks like a perfect doll all of the time. Think Margot Tenenbaum. Or Courtney Love circa the Nineties (except way more polished). The collection was still red carpet worthy, but slightly laid back. I dig it.

JPG Punk

There was a total sense of Punk 77 meets the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at Jean Paul Gaultier and his Spring 2011 Couture show. This was not a huge surprise considering JPG's Joan Jett-inspired S/S 2011 RTW collection. Give me a girl in a mohawk with a shredded gown, too much tulle popping out, or jailhouse stripes and I'm there. I like the way you think, Gaultier.

Sweet Tooth

Nothing profoundly new to report over at Elie Saab's Couture Spring 2011 show. Aside from the fact that it remained gorgeous and overtly feminine. These are perfect Oscar gowns. For real.

Front To Back

Givenchy's Couture collection for Spring 2011. I always appreciate the photos from the front and the back of the gowns. One design house that always remains consistent in detail, but always shakes their silhouettes and fabrics up. We departed from their metal hardware and sequins from Fall 2010 Couture to neon colors and origami lines. I'm also waiting for some of these to sprout wings and take off.

Pretty Babies

Salivating over the Chanel Couture Spring 2011 collection. It's all so ladylike with a dose of rebellion due to the splash of blacks, the sheer fabrics, and the slouchy fit of most of the dresses.

Cruella, Cruella de Vil

Dramatic, rich, extravagant. That is Christian Dior. Mr. Galliano, I can't say anything aside from that I fucking love it.
