It seems that less and less designer interested in making Couture, and some may say it is slowly going to an end. This I must agree, even the Couture master like Christian Lacroix went bankrupt, the struggle to finding clients, often the richest of the richs, are getting so hard. And there are some Couture lines are going downhill (this season: Valentino/ most obvious in my opinion). Funny thing is, Dolce & Gabbana kept their Alta Moda exclusively private for their clients, but the leaked photos show that it is completely disappointed (for example, what is this? couture cow girl?), and maybe that's the reason it's private.
But there are still gems, I know, Christian Dior by Raf Simons. I'm begin to think that Raf is more suitable for Dior than Galliano (I still love both!). From a Jil Sander genius, we thought he couldn't represent Dior because minimalism is in his blood, but look at what he did now:
Paris this season was wonderful.
I like Akris for some of the last pieces of their show. Mesmerizing.
Ann Demeulemeester seems to be doing fine after the founder having said goodbye. I like some of these in the collection but I couldn't help but think these are similar to all the previous collections.
The most fascinating show was Dior. I am a big fan of Galliano, but I'm starting to root for Raf Simons. At first I doubted him, now I'm completely satisfied. No more majestic dresses, countless layers,... but Raf added his minimalism soul to Dior, and created a willowy new Dior, while still sticking to the original Christian Dior roots.
I always see Japan in Dries Van Noten's collections. I don't know, but that's why I love his shows so much.
Thank God the dresses at Elie Saab are heading to another direction. I'm so sick and tired of laces and laces and glitter and laces all over the dresses in the past 3 years.
Giambattista Valli never fails to create beautiful flowering enthralled dresses. This time they bring us a rose garden.
It might look like it isn't going to fit for everyday-wear but I am in love with Léonard: the colors and textures and fabrics are just in, the models look like they're flying in the runway.
The clothes at Miu Miu sure will continuing the transparent trend.
Vionnet is proof that a collection's success is regardless of how famous the models walked in it (I'm sorry Wang but it's true ▼o・ェ・o▼).
She still comes out as a new designer but I love love love this Yang Li's show. The black dresses are specially exceptional (´∀`)♥.
Honestly, I think Milan is lack of amusement. All the shows are usually monotone, either good or bad. As you can see, this FW they use a lot of oriental inspirations - mostly from Japan.
Also in Milan and Paris, I don't appreciate the fact that real fur is used but will still list and let’s hope that will come in faux fur (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
They have Alberta Ferretti with new textures (see full collection for more). I'm not quite a fan of Alberta Ferretti ever since my beginning with fashion but I think this is by far the loveliest collection I've ever seen from them.
Blumarine by far is the best from them for so long too, the whole collection looks very interesting. Stylized Kimonos with touch of silver and gold.
I like what Costume National did it this time. A mix of Jil Sander and Dries Van Noten, no? The color palette is limited, but I think this collection is very fresh.
Emporio Armani stated that midi skirt is appropriate to everywhere you go - to the office, to the street. Once in black, you're all classy.
Milan's most impressive show for me was Gabriele Colangelo. No doubt. The layers are absolutely beautiful. I like these layers better than Fendi last season, because they look even more delicate. Black and white were mixed perfectly.
Gucci brings back pastel colors for their collection. I like these dresses but also the jackets are pretty good.
Jil Sander is still doing good after the leave of the founder. The design team once again prove that they can carry on, its too lovely to look at. But in the end the snake can't lose its lead for too long. I hope they can find the right one.
Usually I don't like Prada. But this season I absolutely adore the coats and the shoes. Colors are great too.
Last but not least is Versace. The whole collection screams girl power and I love it (though there were still so many look-a-like pieces).
