L.A & New York Total Recall Premieres 

Gossip Girl shooting!!!

Out&About

 
For many years Ysl brightened the couture calender with there fantastic shows that wear the epitome of chic,style and couture. Ysl's DNA is made of couture and now the fresh new controversial face that is taking to the helms of the house is thinking of bringing ysl back to the couture calender, that decision could only be met with open arms unlike other changes he has made that have split many people! In a interview for the august issue of french vogue Slimane says "Haute couture is a legitimate subject for ysl and could resume one day" exciting, YES though he also mentions "The priority today is to revamp and redeploy the luxury ready wear" so we would have to wait a few seasons to come and i dont believe at this moment Slimane is even qualified for couture because he has never even designed womenswear before so he could burn up in flames before he gets the chance to revamp the haute couture department of the company! But we love to gossip and speculate fashion feeds on it so you never know how close couture may be in the future of the company and we can all be there to over react over one quote and speculate all day long :D           
 
So paris couture ended last week but there is still one more couture show to see. It was Dolche&Gabbanas first ever couture collection, the couture line is called Alta Moda. No press was invited only some magazine editors such as the vogue team including Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington, also there were fabulous celebrity guest such as Scarlet Johanson, Naomi Campbell and Anna Dello Russo and of course wealthy couture buyers were in attendance. The collection was presented in sicily whilst a classic sicilian band played.

Another warm Parisienne day, another batch of couture collections to see! Fashionistas are dressed in there finest going to 3 very major shows chanel,givenchy and armani so everyone is looking there best!
 
 
The setting for a chanel collection always surrounds much interest, for the fall couture show the setting was a grand room filled with classy white wicker chairs,large plant pots that evoke the gardens of versailles, and tables with an elegant selection of french pastries including delectable macaroons.
The collection was titled by karl as "New Vintage" so what does new vintage mean Well karl said "I wanted to keep only the same attitude and spirt but project it in a different way on the girl of today" meaning he has kept the attitude of the chanel vintages and made it new and fresh "I wanted it to feel like she was just wearing jeans but really she was wearing embroidered tweed!"
This collection had a lot of time and couture effort put into it all the tweeds were embroidered some even taking a astonishing 3000 hours to make which is around 5 months just for one tweed coat its truly remarkable! This collection really showed off the impeccable skills of that the house's ateliers are able to do! 
The color palette of this collection was very simple and extremely chic is was really blacks,greys,whites and several soft pink tones very simple and yet very effective and also really looking classic chanel but of course in a "new vintage" way! I found the soft pink pieces to be remarkably feminine and pretty, and they were made even more chicer when worked into greys,whites and blacks!
Evening was very much featured in this 64 piece collection! There were a wide variety of fab youthful very "french girl" little party cocktail dresses, then there were conservative very long skirts with elegant tweed topping that many of the wealthy and quite older couture buyers would desire! Chiffon and tulle were used in some stunning evening looks to give them light and airy couture feel, but the movement of the gowns was not that was getting most focus unlike other couture collections it was simply the stunning embellishments and crafty embroideries in the gowns that made your mouth water with couture bliss, i mean god that silver dress were ever single thread of it was covered in shimmering silver sequence!! The beautiful rose embroidered gowns were a favorite of my'n made form a light tulle and covered with soft, beautiful roses simple couture heaven!! Then there was the stunning chanel couture bride! After the final look walked the runway was silent then suddenly a ravishing Lindsey Wixon a rose covered in white feathers it was stunning it moved down the runway with force with a thunderous applause to follow! Certainly the most stunning couture bride we have seen this week!
Karls new vintage collection worked perfectly and gave the illusion of relaxed couture but actually was anything but that to make! It glistened and glided and was a top highlight of this fab couture week!
