Wasn't hard to recognize Amy Winehouse in the story of Jean Paul Gaultier's collection. It was a tribute to the bright individuality and style: somethimes boyish, sometimes gypsy with a touch of messy boudoir.
Christian Dior is staying true to Dior's New Look with voluminous skirts and dresses. I particular like the 2nd look, it reminds me an "anatomy" of the garment, where designer show the way it was constructed with underskirts. The entire collection has the feel of undergarments vs outer attire with sheer and transparent layers of tulle.
I bet these garments look good and inside out!
I get crazy about laser cut in general, and Giambatista Valli has it all. Want you to note that the dress (look 3 here) is a tendency in evening wear in monochome with pop up of another color in unexpected places. Angelina Jolie in Golden Globes 2012 will definetely take the trend further.
Valentino brought ladies-in-waiting to the modern times with plenty of embroidery, lace and organza.
As usual very airy, ephemeral collection, but I think the designers challenge embroiderers more than their own creativity, the same goes to Elie Saab
Versace, just WOW! Complicated shapes, but fitted like a glove, that's my understanding of Haute Couture
