SPRING 2018 COUTURE FAVORITES

The Spring 2018 Couture Week in has just finished and here are my favorite looks right from the runways in Paris.

Each of these dresses has been handcrafted in the designer’s ateliers, meticulously hand made, those dresses are real pieces of art. Here are my top 6 of the Spring Summer 2018 Couture Shows in Paris:

  1. Elie Saab: He made it to number ONE on my list this season, I love his sense of old school glamour, it is so feminine and this season he portrayed some of the best old school Hollywood glamour – simply divine!
  2. Chanel: I love their classical silhouettes and details, this year’s collection was set in a french garden. I love their textures and especially the blush colored designs. I am not so much into the oversized styles though but love the details on them.
  3. Christian Dior: Love the straight cut lines which gives a powerful and sophisticated look to his collection.
  4. Valentino: Bold mismatched colors, 1950’s styled silhouettes and divinely simple classical pieces. I would love to combine some of their pieces with classical looks, like the red belt with the blush gown you see above.
  5. Givenchy: LOVED the very Parisian, feminine looks, mainly in black with so much class and sophistication
  6. Alberta Ferretti: Loved the romantic and fairy tale like dresses and ideas. Feminine and Mysterious.

This is pure inspiration, I love all the beauty created and I so admire the craftsmanship and detail that goes into these designs.

Which one is your favorite?

Fall 2017 Couture and Ready-To-Wear

Happy Weekend!

This is a special post since I spent a whole sleepless night over this… not for any bad reason but for the fact that I got so involved watching the Fall 2017 shows from last Spring and picking my personal favorites, that I simply forgot time and did not get tired – and suddenly it was 3:30AM and I was wide awake…

Needless to say that the next morning I woke up with a “fashion hangover” but like any hangover for the right reasons – it was totally worth it.

Fashion weeks are starting again in September – I will be in New York for it – I can’t wait! But let’s enjoy the upcoming season of Fall fashion hitting the stores – here are my Fall Favorite Runway Looks for you.

Which one do you like best?

Thank you so much for stopping by,
