Christian Dior Fall Couture 2011: The Candy Circus.

Dear Audiences

We thought the house of Christian Dior would hastily find someone to replace John Galliano, but we were wrong.

The fashion house takes it slow, carefully finds the perfect one. This process may take years, undeniably it could be said impossible to find someone who would be at the same level as Galliano, let alone above him.

However, I think the brand would aim for something new, something different.

OK. Let's talk about the collection which had Susanna Venegas and Bill Gaytten bowed at the end of the show.

The collection is some how strange. I wouldn't say I hate it, but certainly I don't love it.
I shall separate the show into four parts.


Candy Floss.
The part is dominated by pastel colors with the strange hats.

Some Pieces of Galliano.
The reason why I name this part like that because there are some materials used here which the infamous designer always loved to use. And, these dresses carry feelings I had always gotten from all those previous collections. Dolly, lovely, very girlish.

The Fierce Tribe.
Completely another collection. You can notice from the hair, make up, and colors.
I love the hair, they are crazy. And they match all those ethnic dresses with the navy-like hats. Cute.

Lunla Couture.
I love this part the most. The dresses are somehow simple, because of the colors, yet over-the-top with the superbly creative hats. LOVE!

SUPER LOVE THIS!

Giambattista Valli Fall Couture 2011: THE FIRST EVER!!!

Dear Audiences

This is Giambattista Valli's debut in the world of couture, and I would definitely give an A+!

Although, this collection is so different, to the extent that I had to look the designer's name up when I was viewing the dresses.
The pieces are so sweet, elegant, and innovative.
From this collection, I've witnessed the perfect combination of some materials which I've never imagined they would go well together.

Leopard & Feathers.

This is so exotic, a great combination indeed. I love the way he painted the feathers in leopard as well, heavenly creative.

Bow & Ruffle. 

Both are often used for lady style. However, it seems like no one ever put them together.

Feathers & Lace. 

One word, ELEGANT! Superbly. 

Before I saw this I would think it would be overabundant for both things to come together, but obviously, it is not. It's just extremely exquisite.

John Galliano Fall 2011 Ready to Wear: I LOVE EVERYTHING!

Dear Audiences

I've read some prediction saying this collection might be the finale of John Galliano.

His career at Christian Dior might not have a next episode, but will his very own fashion house come to an end too? It was a sad question, sad that we even have to doubt it.

This collection consists of 20 garments in total. Even though they are not extreme, and carry no big piece as always. But, I would say I love them all. Every single one of them.

Look at the shoes! They are killing! LOVE!

O my god! That hair accessory!

Givenchy Fall 2011 Ready to Wear: The Violet Pansy and The Pack of Wolves.

Dear Audiences

I so love this collection of the house of Givenchy.

The stage is like a flower garden, which I assume that this violet flower is called pansy. But I'm not sure, not at all.

Never mind. Let's talk about the collection then.

This season Riccardo Tisci created a remarkable design of skirt. 

These skirts with sub-skirt are absolutely fabulous! I've seen this type of skirt before but it's nothing like these. Nothing fashionable like these.


Next up is wolves! 
I've never imagined the wolf to be 'in' for fashion before. Thought the vampire is the only mythical creature that can be trendy.
