Valley of the Dolls and Russ Meyer sprang to mind for me when I saw it.

Hrm, now that you mention it I can see that too.

I love this thread, it's what luxury should be

I remember in the style.com video podcasts of the shows, nearly every editor said about the shows; "Recession, what recession?" which sums up this perfectly.

who was it that said fashion is at it's most outrageous when the economy is at it's worst, was it isabella blow? i cant remember

i like the givenchy take on luxe. part chav/ghetto, part italian mob, part church, part old school rich daddy.
the others...? a bit too ott for me

^ I remember reading a recent article about prices for RTW skyrocketing to couture levels.

The rich are getting richer (and the poor are getting poorer).... Isn't that nonsense?
