Givenchy, Lacroix, Valentino
Ahh Haute Couture! Doesn’t it just put a smile on your face!? Seeing Lacroix’s collection was so emotional and I was merely looking at photos from NYC! I can’t even imagine seeing his collection in person. He is truly a master — even with limited resources and without all the colorful frills we are used to seeing from him, Lacroix delivered the most stunning couture collection of the season. Saab was great as well, though he clearly knocked-off the idea for his all-white collection from Lagerfeld’s stunning January runway show. That said I love that like Valentino, Saab is going in a younger, edigier direction. Givenchy I didn’t love (was anyone else thrown by how incoherent the collection was?), though there were still a number of fab structured looks. Valentino — again wow! Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo’s work was very unexpected (barely any bows and no red in sight!). Dior was stunning as well — love that he is sticking with his love for garters, lace, and no pants! Chanel and Armani obviously had beautiful construction and detailing, but there collections didn’t stand-out as anything out of the ordinary for either house. Lastly Jean Paul Gaultier — loved it. Love him! His collection was so fierce, strong, yet feminine and he walked on the runway at the end of the show eating a Magnum ice cream:)
Gaultier, Dior, Saab
I picked one of my favorite looks from each of the major collections (not an easy task!). I think all of the pictured looks are utterly red carpet worthy (the JPG one for Lady Gaga in particular!). Now tell us, whose Haute Couture designs do you think celebs will be wearing come the next big red carpet moments?

I think Lacroix will be worn most, no tonly is it hismost wearable but may be his last. Gorgeous choices Sharon!
