Fashion Week wrap-up.
So I've been gorging myself with photos of Fashion Week, and basically, Dior blew me out of the water. Just some of my favorites (more for me than anyone else)

And placed under numerous cuts because this turned into some gargantuan monster before my eyes.

But I also loved these looks from:





Armani Prive

The thing is, I usually like almost everything Armani does, as I am actually a very minimalist-clothing-type person. Clean and sleek, with chicness. So I just pick some of my very favorites from Armani.


Kim Noorda (Looking way too bony around the collarbones)            Eva Jay Kubatova


Tatiana Usova                                                                                    Morgane Dubled








Chanel

I'm a little disappointed; I thought it'd be...more. It seemed very safe: the opaque black tights, short dresses. I wanted something more...daring, less current. Of course, this is all IMHO. I still liked the collection, but not as overwhelming as I wanted it to be, especially after Galliano's.


Kim Noorda                                                                                          Irina Lazareau


Anja Rubik                                                                                           Kim Noorda (again)





Christian Lacroix

was over my head. I'm sure it was artsy and different as all, but I didn't really see his vision. Or something. Anyway, it looked like a mishmash of prints to my uncultured eye.


Lindsay Ellingson                                                                                Maryna Linchuk

Jean-Paul Gaultier

Spiced by up religious controversy. And I have a suspicion that he did it on purpose, because, really, the more controversy, the more publicity. I can see why the Church would be offended, with the (rather blatantly religious, I think) look: the gold halo was similar to the halos on paintings in the Middle Ages; some dresses looked like stained glass windows, like on the churches; the tears on the cheeks were reminescent of paintings of Jesus and Mary crying. All he needed was a crucifix and altar to create a thorough history of what the Middle Ages were like visually. The whole halo look was very cool though. I liked it.


Erin O'Connor                                                                                     Anja Rubik


Jessica Stam                                                                                      Hilary Rhoda


Rachel Alexander                                                                               Erin O'Connor(again)


Lily Cole                                                                                              Milagros Schmoll





Elie Saab

So the haute couture business doesn't take him all that seriously. Whatever. He gets tons of red carpet time anyway.
I liked the majority of this collection, even if was typical Elie Saab. Very wearable, if you khow, you go to extravagant places where you can actually wear this stuff without looking out of place, and you can afford it. Which I can't, being a broke student living off Goldfish right now (actually, my sister left it here this afternoon and it became my dinner).


Emina Cunmulaj                                                                                   Ilze Bajare


Camilla ?                                                                                              Anna T.


Anna T.                                                                                               Tiiu Kuik





Valentino

I love his casting. Jessica Stam, Hilary Rhoda, Emina Cunmulaj, Solange Wilvert, Kim Noorda, Flavia de Oliveira. And I think I have an affixiation with white, probably stemming from the fact that I can't wear white without dropping something on myself that is completely staining. :(
