Ravishing

Splendid cuts and details on the jackets and skirts.

Thanks for the heads up!

Guesquière is fantastic! He can always surprise me and this collection is no exception. The contrast between the minutious and detailed jewellery and the simple but "futuristic" cut of the clothes, results perfectly in a chic, elegant and austere collection.

 

[mackos]

After seeing the video I can only say that this colection is PERFECT. Pure perfection

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^I agree totally!

after all the hype, its interesting coming back after a few months and re-looking at everything!

 

[KKnardi]

^exactly, everything is lit in a different light!

 

[helmut.newton]

I was looking through a Helmut Newton book today and guess what I found?

Ghesquiere's designs

He was clearly inspired by the VERSACE suits in Newton's photos.

Wow. Versace inspiring Balenciaga! Bizzare.

That wasn't Versace, that was Mugler (someone who's inspired Ghesquiere before)

 

[dior_couture1245]

This collection did have a Mugler undercurrent. Lots of strict, body shaping clothes, all with a glamorous/ space age edge.

O.K., I'm oficially MAD about this collection! Are the HQ's available? I'd love to see close-ups from the painted tunics that closed the show!

 

[Spike413]

^ Yeah, I'm pretty sure that HQ's were posted a few pages back.

 

[mackos]

Yes, I got some HQ's indeed
