A little bit of couture

The couture shows were shown in Paris last week and like the ad campaigns from my post yesterday, I have to say, that again, Chanel was my favourite (I swear this is not always the case)! I loved the chunky jewelery (read: bracelets) that were paired with each outfit. The collection was still so simple which I loved - and that red! It's my perfect red - must get a bag in that colour this fall (or now :)


Though I found the Armani Privé collection to be a tad bland (but don't get me wrong, still gorgeous), this black crocodile blazer (left) really drew me in. It will definitely be on my mind for quite a while. Jean Paul Gauthier also impressed me with this outfit (right). The rich brown leather gloves with the smokey gray feathers actually made my mouth water a little bit (swoon)!


And just to make everything different, Dior presented a floral themed collection. Not every piece was for me, but this one stood out. The design of the origami like folds is just so gorgeous and creates a fantastic shape. Though the colour palette is pretty safe (how wrong can you go with blue and white?), I think the crispness of the dress is so fresh. Would have paired this with more dramatic shoes though...
