Thanks Thiago. To me it's very hit and miss,I actually quite like the 'rainbow' pieces but I'm not so keen on others,maybe it'll grow on me

thank you for the HQ's, more for me to save to my external hard drive

seeing the HQ's really brings this to another level

some of the jackets are really exquisite with their intricate and beautiful beadwork and embroidery...
those will probably be the pieces that sell i think because they're so special and so wearable when paired with something simpler...

some of the gowns are really quite beautiful as well...

it's sort of lacroix's signature to be loud, over the top and opulent...
which is what he did here... though i agree some editing might be appreciated...
what's great about couture is that it is custom-made.. so it can easily be pared back for use in the real world...
the editing can be done after the extravagant presentation...

So colourful and vibrant.

such an amazing collection!

thanks for the high res photos Cinnamaranth and Thiago!

 

[espritDEcouture]

so, I'm not a big champion of this collection as a whole (although the standout pieces are incredible) but i just revisited the pieces and i can't get over how marvelous and exquisite the bride looks. i would like to wear that around the house. if only.

this has been a good couture season....

the backstage photos are incredible! they have made me fall more in love with every single piece. it is my dream to work for this man. i can see myself sitting around in a little paris workroom with a bunch of 80 year old grandmas beading and embroidering till i get blisters! oh to dream...

 

[fouroclock]

Yes, I agree with the backstage photos. This collection has one of the most vibrant craftsmanship I've seen, as always with Lacroix. But some of the pieces make me wanna smash my head into a wall.

Amazing HQs!

I have a soft spot for Lacroix so I find this to be quite fun. I LOVE some of the patterned tights...I must have them!

 

[disco54]

its very french very nice , the pantssuits are divine

 

[plasticky]

I adore 50% of the collection. But even so i don't think it's appropietaded to do sth so so so showy in times of recession.

Nice dresses but after looking the whole collection I think the most beautiful pieces for me are... tights! They're amazing...
