Haute Couture Fall 2011 Pt 3: Giambattista Valli, Valentino, Elie Saab & Jean Paul Gaultier


Giambattista Valli

This is probably my favourite collection of Haute Couture Fall 2011: the incredible detailing, textures and shapes, the gorgeous coral pink and red amidst the black and white palette, the easy-to-wear draped dresses...all made for one beautiful collection:

















Valentino

The red dress is so simple yet so striking...



Elie Saab

Elie Saab sticks to his winning formula, with plenty of red-carpet dresses, all with a light-as-air feeling to them, and some shorter frocks too, some which I think would suit Carey Mulligan and Kirsten Dunst beautifully:












Jean Paul Gaultier

This feel odd to include with the designers above, but JPG had some great pieces in his collection, once I could look past some distracting factors:

Haute Couture Fall 2011 Pt 2: Christian Dior & Chanel


Christian Dior


Architectural, crazy, colourful and fun...Bill Gaytten seems to have had a ball with his chance at designing Dior's Couture collection, with John Galliano's unfortunate fall from grace:















Chanel

Peplum's back!

Haute Couture Fall 2011 Pt 1: Bouchra Jarrar & Anne Valerie Hash


Since the Haute Couture shows were on when I was overseas, I am only now catching up on what I missed out on. I found it refreshing to see that 'Haute Couture' doesn't always refer to those red carpet or museum show like pieces, but instead reminded me that it refers to custom-fitted clothing, specifically tailored to flatter the lucky client.

Bouchra Jarrar

Bold and graphic, with precise tailoring...I loved the vibrant and electric blue, especially when contrasted with grey in the third dress below:






Anne Valerie Hash

Understated, elegant, feminine and dreamy...
