Louboutin Love

For the small amount of 2500 $ these beauty's can be mine! Any one who wants to be my sponsor? :) 

Beautiful backs

This is why I love Chanel. The Haute Couture for fall 2009 was as always just beautiful. Especially the backs of the dresses caught my eye. Sigh...!

Go for a hat

At the Dior haute couture show there was a lot of hats. And since I love hats, that's just great! The look here is as it was in the 50's when the New Look was born. I love it!

The new New Look

It was clear that Galliano had gone back to the house of Dior's roots for inspiration for his haute couture collection for this winter 2009. The New Look look's were there in an updated style which made the collection classy and timeless without it getting boring. 

The couture is on!

Just a look from the Chanel couture show in Paris this week. Grand Palais is as always the venue.

What is inside of John Galliano's head?

What the f**k is going on inside John Galliano's head. Sure he's a genius, but he is a bit crazy as well. He must be to make a collection like this one for mens spring/summer collection 2010. I really like the way he uses all the different colors and all the different fabrics to create all these unique looks. It's kind of a mix of Napoleon meets Jack Sparrow meets Hercules. Kind of a spectacular blend when you think about it. 

Sometimes Dolce et Gabbana are just spot on

Usually I find Dolce et Gabbana a bit boring and I can't really understand how they can get so popular. But then again when they pull something of like they did in their show for fall 2006, I really understand why people adore them so much. I think that Napoleon's Josephine would have been proud and bought it all. It was clear to see that she had been one of the biggest inspirations to that collection. 

There are just some collections that you remember because of their greatness. And this is truly one of them. 

He never disappoint his audience

Thomas Maier always makes me happy with his work for Bottega Veneta. The resort collection for summer 2010 was as good as it gets. Not many designers can make a whole collection where every piece is something you would like yourself. That's my kind of guy. Another thing I really adore about Bottega Venta is that it's so clear to see that all, and I mean all, the materials are the best you can get. Of cause all the big fashion houses uses only the finest qualities, but it's not always that visible. And sometimes you just wonder how they can get away with so high prices. But at Bottega Venta it's okay with the extreme prices, because you can really see and feel that what you buy is really made with love and with the finest materials. That is a quality that I hope Bottega Veneta will always maintain. 

I also have to mention the colors in this collection. The color pallet is just to die for. So delicate and spicy. Very low key but maintaining the coolness and the classy chic look that is so perfect in these times of crisis. 

Olivier Theyskens takes Nina Ricci to the underworld

Maybe Olivier Theyskens was inspired by Pan's Labyrinth in his last collection at Nina Ricci. The faun from the movie would in any case get along with the tall models on the catwalk in Paris. There is something about those Nina Ricci shoes that reminds me of all the darkness in our dreams and subconscious. It is actually really scary. 

The Donna way

As I get older I get more and more in love with Donna Karan. Her resort collection for summer 2010 was very feminine not to mention very wearable, which is for the time being such an important factor. The resort collections are always small, and the Donna Karan was as well a collection of only 29 looks. But it's clear to see that they may not be a lot of looks, but thy were well chosen. 

Tilda rocks

I am a huge fan of this lovely woman. Tilda Swinton rocks my world. She really is my favorite of all the Hollywood Queens.

Perfect in all ways

Its easy to spot a truly great collection; its when the details are beautiful and thought through. A really really good example of this, is the Dior haute couture collection for spring 2007. Of all times this is one of my favorite collection. When Galliano does what he does this brilliantly, there is no one who can touch him.  

Victor and Rolf

For the fall/winter 2009 show in Paris, Victor and Rolf was inspired by the ancient Greece and Rome. But always with a twist. The interesting thing about this collection was not really all the draped dresses, but the sculptural jackets that were almost 3D. Victor and Rolf always know how to stand out. This may not work off the runway, because it's surly some serious runway clothes, but perhaps in small doses it could work out in the real world. I'm not quite sure what I think yet. But I think that I could be a buyer for that powder blazer. That one is really me and really Victor and Rolf. 

All the 3D dresses and jackets reminded me a bit about how a snow crystal look up close. Perhaps that was some of the inspiration for this collection. 

No no no...

It's no secret that I have a special love for shoes. And on top of that I have a love for Olivier Theyskens and his work at Nina Ricci. Some say that this will be his last collection for Nina Ricci, and then he will start on his own again. I think he makes some of the most sophisticated collections in all of Paris. What he does is truly Parisian. But these shoes here... I mean come on! I can't imagine any buyer for these. They are crazy, and not sophisticated at all.
