Little Black Dress looks and buys

fashion update

Every woman must have is one fabulous black dress that can be mixed and matched with so many different things. The LBD is the most changed and reinvented dress ever. With Coco Chanel introducing the lbd in the 1920's, nowadays you can find so many styles and shapes suiting ones own taste. And almost every season, designers come up with their version of the LBD. Tell me what you think is the perfect fit for this fall season's LBD.

Christian Lacroix last couture show ??

runway updateWhile Lacroix filed for bankruptcy last May, I can only hope that some billionaire investor will very soon fund this fabulous designer label. Christian Lacroix started his own couture label in 1987, after having worked at Jean Patou since 1981. He has a background in historical costumes having worked in a theatre. His designs send out a great sense of folkloric opulence, with lots of colour and dramatic glamour. Lacroix always ends his couture show with a model dressed as a bride. His famous puffball skirt ("le pouf") became a reinvention of the ball gown for the late 20th century. Now after 22 years being in the business he might be showing off his last couture show. Is he trying to say something with the lack of color in this collection? There will definitely be some dark days ahead for Lacroix.

Dior Fall 2009 Couture

runway update

Bringing back the couture from the 50's at the house of Dior, Galliano once again knows his craft as the best in the business. Sexy bustiers and laced girdles set the tone for his collection. With lots of bright colours, bar peplum jackets and amazing evening gowns, Dior's couture show was as usual, outrageously fabulous. Judge for yourself. Love Dior.
