What an exciting couple of days! Most the major houses have put out their couture looks. Some were outstanding, while others were mediocre with a few eye-catching looks. Today I'll start with Christian Lacroix's collection.
Per usual, Lacroix has a Parisian Lady look to his clothes...
Except add a clown or two...
And then you get something like this...
And then, of course, there were the wonderfully draped and ruffled pieces that I love. These three being my favorite.
Overall, the show was typical Christian Lacroix- the frills,
the intricate details lavishly piled on, the exaggerated theme.
Sadly enough, what I loved most was not the clothes themselves,
but rather the black and white, plaid shoes and the gradient tights.
I'll be honest, this photo made my day. The dress was bright and yellow and flowy. The whole thing proclaimed 'it's spring, god d@mn it, let me frolic with the grace of a Degas ballerina.' I agree whole-heartedly and will immediately whip out my brightly colored skirts and dresses. This vibrant picture is part of a photo collection called Float Like a Butterfly in NY magazine. There are seven more lovely dresses to go gaga over so click, click, click. If you really want to know about the above dress, it's a Michael Kors chiffon halter gown, and it costs $5,995, wow!
