Gosh, its been awhile since I have entered the wonderful world of blogging. I apologize greatly for my lack of blogging, I feel awful, but it has been a very busy time for me!! I am a senior in high school if that tells you anything but that’s all I’ll say. No excuses its time for Haute Couture week. Now onto that.

First of all I practically loved everything I saw this season. Starting off with Atelier Versace I was saddened when it was announced that there was no show to take place in Paris. But the clothes are such a spectacle themselves a show just would have emphasized their wonder. I enjoyed the pictures released but really only two pieces caught my eye that were heavily embellished.

Chanel Couture is always one of my favorite shows to see. Mr. Lagerfeld never ceases to amaze me with his innovation and creativity every season. And this season was no exception. The color scheme was wonderful, and, of course, I loved the bright silver specks and feathers adorning practically every look. Another part of the show that I enjoyed was the pearl anklets with the heels!!

Dior was a wonderland, literally. The garden scheme was beautifully paired with the clothes shown. I loved the tapered waists and full skirts that are so classic but with the new creative director’s vision, they seemed fresh, new and unexpected.

Giambattista Valli is always a show to watch even if just for the voluminous finale looks that are always such fun to see. But I was really fascinated by the 60’s inspiration that was evident in the short minidress and the flowing gown with the floral pattern.

Schiaparelli is always an interesting show to see in my opinion. The clothes especially the patterns and shapes are quite unlike what you usually see. I especially enjoyed the classic lobster print on a certain dress.

Finally, Valentino, I feel like I am floating on a cloud just thinking about this show. The design houses’s new direction is absolute perfection to me. It’s feminine and dainty as shown with the tissue-paper textured sleeves. But then I see a pair of stark white paints with a strong overcoat and now I’m convinced this show has a bit of an edge to it. It’s a combination of everything anyone (especially me!) would ever want. So there you have it! My first review in dare I say five months… I shudder at that thought, but I promise I will write soon. Till then.

Though Couture week has come and gone I am still left mesmerized by what I saw. Yes, this review is late but these gorgeous clothes have not left my mind. First off Chanel Haute Couture was a complete dream, per usual. Karl Lagerfeld took a “green” approach this season and it was quite lovely because everything was decadent and rich and was over the top beautiful in every possible way. Though the words I just used to describe the collection do not seem eco-friendly the collection proved it was just that with healthy resources used in the collection that will last forever and are timeless just like the collection itself. Now onto Atelier Versace I rather enjoyed it and thought the clothes were executed beautifully as the unfinished suit Gigi Hadid wore was really sexy and strong all wrapped into one. Giambattista Valli Haute Couture was a fluffy (very fluffy) dream. The gowns are always a sight to see just by themselves and I just adore seeing them float effortlessly down the runway. Dior Haute Couture was wonderful due to the circumstances of having head designer, Raf Simons, resign at the helm of Dior. I thought the staff did a wonderful job and I really enjoyed what I saw. Armani Privé was intriguing due to the color choice of mauve, which grew on me more as the collection progressed. Armani is always so classic and just really pleasing to the eye. Finally Valentino Haute Couture was just so inspiring it left me breathless. The way the head designers find ways to inspire them is just wondrous. The models were ethereal and so were the ravishing gowns. Everything was just perfect.

Atelier Versace was a beautiful and ethereal collection with flowing gowns and flower crowns. The models looked majestic as they floated down the runway like Greek goddesses. Kendall Jenner especially sparked my interest in the collection as she looked like a dark and mysterious mermaid in her wonderfully crafted dress sauntering down the runway.

Schiaparelli Couture took my breath away with its lovely shapes and assortment of colors in the collection. The prints and colors were so exciting and quite lovely.

Christian Dior Couture was absolutely stunning. The decadent coats with the fur and only one sleeve were so innovative. Also the colors paired together were beautiful like the cherry colored coat with the cerulean almost periwinkle-like pants. The white dress with the argyle overlay was so spectacular.

Giambattista Valli Couture celebrated its tenth year anniversary and this collection was quite a celebration itself. The black drop waist top with the fluffy tulle hem was something quite exciting. Also the prints and the beautiful earrings were such lovely additions to collection.

Chanel Couture was wonderful with its intriguing casino venue and all the wonderful celebrities present in beautiful couture creations as well. The show was such a mix of Coco Chanel herself and Karl Lagerfeld too. It was a wonderful combination. The motorcycle jacket over the crystal like dress was so beautiful in its own right.

Armani Privé was almost like a technicolor dream with all the new colors and eye popping hues Mr. Armani presented. Though the colors were offset by black the textures of the garments stuck out. The tea length dress with the cigarette pants underneath was something unforgettable.

Maison Margiela Couture was an exhilarating experience all the way through, though one should not expect any less from Mr. Galliano. The shapes and prints and colors were something to behold. The bright blue dress with the rope tied behind the neck in a bow was quite exquisite. Also the additions to the coats and other garments kept the eye traveling.

Finally Valentino Couture was possibly the most extraordinary collection I have ever seen. Every garment was so beautiful and made with such craftsmanship only Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli could create. Every detail was stunning down to the black gladiator sandal each model wore. The colors and prints represented their inspiration of Rome perfectly. The show definitely deserved its standing ovation in every possible way.
