Azzedine Alaïa F/W 0304 Paris

What an incredible, though short, show season!

Guess what? He showed. Thursday afternoon and this was no abridged collection either. From start to middle, the pieces were clean and sublime; from the middle to the end, it was all about refinement and modern glamour. Truly a beautiful collection.

finally, Alaia
quite a departure from his usual style as well, one of my favourite shows of the season.
I will avoid stating my fave looks here, they are just too many to mention, i liked even his few jeans pieces (when starting up as a designer, Alaia and Chanel were the only houses I tried to find a job, he remains such a great master )

Wow. It's as if all the different elements that I love from my favorite designers were smashed into one collection.

I think I'm going to pass out.. I have so many pieces I absolutely LOVE and must have! Especially the White blouse and the black fringe skirt!

Beautiful collection. Also nice to see Hannelore back in action (plate one, pic eight). I don't think she did any of the couture shows this season. Anyone have word on this?

[ot:e65c0b1bbf]Not yet, chick. But I was wondering too about Omayhra and Ai Tominaga. They were all over the Spring RTW shows. :? [/ot:e65c0b1bbf]
