to be courted by couture

couture was array this week in paris, the europeans showed the world how its done. the embellishments, the fabrics and cuts were the focus. Karl replicated the original coco chanel mirrored steps with sparkling fabrics to match. the baroque inspired collection shone down the runway like a treasure find by indiana jones.

armani took the oriental approach in such a parisian way that it gave the designs an air of delicate french couture. oriental lace, bone white with a splash of colour that gave a delicate origami look to the floor length gowns.

however the colours that givenchy sent down the run way sent a wave of colour that could only excite. feminine cuts, circular silhouettes, gorgeous footwear gave emphasis to the graded colours.

Paris is the hub. 40% celebs, 50% press (and 10%...other?) know it. I have to say that it was nice to seethat the old traditional couture is still alive even if it is for the rich and semi- famous.
