2008/2009 Spring/Summer Haute Couture

Christian Dior

I usually look forward especially to Haute Couture as it’s when designers can really shine with no expense spared, but I must say, I was a little disappointed with this season’s show. Apart from Christian Dior and Christian Lacroix, there wasn’t much to whet my style palette.

Dior’s collection was exciting as his theme was obviously set against a futuristic 60’s vibe which reminded me at times of the cute movie Down With Love, featuring Ewan McGregor andRenee Zellweger. If you’ve seen it, you’ll know what I mean.

Chanel

Chanel went down the road of the vintage 20’s/30’s. The one above is divine! It’s classic and timeless. I absolute love the delicate feather features in the neckline and shrug.

Christian Lacroix

Christian Lacroix’s collection is exquisitely put together. Very glamourous and reminds me of the stylish 1930’s, but with a edge.

I love the jacket above and the way the wide leg pants softly hang of the model’s hips. The head piece and shoes finish off the outfit really well.

The scarf really brings a bit of zing to the outfit! Love the pants, too!

R.I.P Heath Ledger

It’s hard to believe that as of yesterday, Heath Ledger is dead.

As a fellow Australian, I’m saddened by the loss as he was so full of potential. He had a future which now is robbed, and his darling Matilda will not have her dad around to watch her grow up into a woman. And poor Michelle. Well, what can you say?

Rest in peace Heath, you’ll truly be missed.
