Dior = Love

I thought that after the drool fest that was Dior's spring 2009 collection nothing that Galliano would come out with next would make me drool as much. He has proved me wrong yet again. I am in LOVE.







After looking at that collection I am not even going to comment on Vivienne's line, which I must say left me very disappointed.

Until next time, Ciao! xoxo

Thursday: Paris Fashion Week

Balenciaga: I was not impressed with the collection. The draping of the of the skirts (as you can see in the 3rd photo) made them look like they were wearing diapers, I do like the skirt from the first picture and the suite in the second picture is nice. The prints he used in the collection just made me think of old ladies going out for Sunday tea.

Rick Owens: I do not even know what to say about his collection. Just that it made me think that I was looking at Star Trek characters dress in black and white.

Nina Ricci: I loved and hated this collection. I do not know what is up with these designers and the big freaken shoulders! They sucked in the 80's and they still suck now! ARGH! Anyway, I will just show you some of my favorites from the collection.

Paris Fashion Week 2009: RTW

Well tomorrow is the start of Fashion week in Paris and I am ready. Below I am listing by order of appearance the designers that I will be watching:

Wednesday:

- Corinne Cobson: She is an up and coming French Designer. Not much about her online but I have seen her stuff in several magazines and I like what I see.

Thursday:

- Balenciaga: Do I need to say anything else? hehehehe.....

- Hiroko Koshio: Asian designers have been on point lately and my eye is trained on Hiroko. I have always been a fan of hers. Her designs are so refreshing and easy to wear. Nothing complicated, just feminine and fierce.

- Rick Owens: American designer that set up shop in Paris. I do not know how I feel about his designs. His S/S '09 collection did not shake my fashion bones but I still want to see more. My interest in him was perked with his RTW S/S 2008 so I am hoping that it was just not a one time deal. The jury is still out.

- Nina Ricci: The name is pretty self explanatory but I must say I am not the biggest fan of this label. What can I say, I am hard to please. I only started following this label more closely two seasons ago because of one reason Olivier Theyskens. Just typing his name brings a shiver to my spine and drool just a tad. Yes, ladies and gents I am a fan girl. I have been a fan girl since his years as creative director at Rochas.

Friday:

- Vivienne Westwood, Lanvin and Dior

Saturday:

- Jean-Paul Gaultier: I love that freak. He can take a garbage bag and put it on a model and I would probably swoon. I think I was his gay lover in a past life.

The rest of the week does not really need much of an explanation so I will just list the designers. I love them all, I wish I could afford them all but until I marry my Prince in shining armor I will continue to dream and drool.

Sunday:

- Karl Lagerfeld, Emanuel Ungaro, Christian Lacroix, Givenchy

Monday:

- Zucca, Viktor & Rolf, Manish Arora, Yves Saint Laurent

Tuesday:

- Chanel, Valentino, Alexander McQueen

Wednesday:

- Chloe, Limi Feu, Hermes, John Galliano

Thursday:

- Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu

Until next time, Ciao!xoxoxo
