I Can't Control Myself

Jean-Paul Gaultier Haute Couture S/S 09





















vogue.co.uk

My heart leapt into my throat upon the first viewing of JPG's magnificent show. This is truly stunning, true couture in every sense of the word. From the calligraphy curls to the sheer netting & lace, I want to wear it all! This should come as no surprise, as I have a huge obsession with anything sheer/lacey/etc. Romance and intellectualism all molded and tailored and draped to perfection. Seriously, words cannot express how enamored I am.....

Seeing as how the raging snowstorm is keeping me indoors today (& thus criminally under dressed- sweatpants and microfleece and thick knee socks), here is what I wore yesterday:






##Sweater cardigan w. faux fur collar - H & M
##Black sweetheart neck w. mesh collar/sleeves shirt (was dress but I chopped it)- F21
##Grey button fly skinnies- H & M, purchased in Caen
##Grey leather over knee boots- Chinese Laundry
##Pale yellow python belt- thrifted
##Scent- Snake Charmer

Givenchy Haute Couture s/s 09

Tisci has really done it!

A petal strewn runway was the perfect vehicle for the alien glamour sauvage models with bleached brows & charcoal eyes. Tisci often serves up his sort of gothic austerity in his collections, but spring/summer 09 was tinged with a sort of wispy melancholic romance. I am especially fond of the lacey fragile veils. And hello? I would do many, many debauched things in order to have the massive jeweled collar in the first picture. Absolutely stunning. My mouth is agape.

Waiting For the Sun

The Spring/Summer 09 couture season is descending upon us, and in twitchy anticipation I felt like sharing some of my personal favorite couture pieces from the past few spring seasons...

I strangely like the bedraggled 'mermaid/glamourous drowned rat' hair...

Erm, yeah. JPG is my favorite courturier for many reasons including, but not limited to, his marriage of insane detail & beauty with an off-beat, cheeky wit.

Here's a short look at the preparation of the s/s 07 presentation...
